The company’s Chairman and CEO, Chris Pavlovski, said that the purchases and allocations of BTC as part of its treasury strategy are part of a wider strategic move to expand into the crypto industry.

He said that BTC holdings can serve as a valuable hedge against inflation and will not be subjected to dilution like many overprinted government-issued currencies.

Potential for More Bitcoin Purchases

The official press release also stated that the timing and value of more BTC purchases will be determined by management and will depend on several factors including:
