Bitwise CEO and co-founder Hunter Horsley believes many more publicly traded companies will add Bitcoin (BTC) to their balance sheets in 2025.
The head of the crypto asset manager Bitwise says on the social media platform X that investors may see a lot more companies adopting Bitcoin as a corporate strategy this year.
“A major theme in 2025 is going to be the arrival of corporates: Bitcoin Standard Corporations. There are many private companies like Bitwise Investments that hold Bitcoin on the balance sheet as well. Exciting to see.”
He also cites a report by crypto investor HODL15Capital that shows companies already holding Bitcoin are continuing to accumulate more BTC. He notes that the largest publicly-traded corporate holder of Bitcoin, MicroStrategy, could offer companies a roadmap on how they could accumulate the top digital asset.
“11 publicly-traded companies bought more Bitcoin since [December 30th, 2024] according to HODL15Capital. 2025 is going to see a lot of corporations joining the Bitcoin standard. [MicroStrategy founder Michael] Saylor has written the playbook for a movement.”
Horsley also believes 2025 may bring about an explosion of tokenized small businesses that are focused on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) agents.
“I think AI may lead to an explosion of companies and tokenized companies.
The theory:
- A single person can use AI to make a much more niche version of a software service. For example, mobile-only CRM (customer relationship management) for independent electricians that need to conform to California laws.
- This can better serve long-tail markets.
- This could lead to an explosion of new ‘micro’/niche companies, that maybe do $100,000-$1 million a year.
- The creator could tokenize the company and in doing so gain two benefits: (A) pull forward the earnings, (B) allow customers to become shareholders and advocates.
AI could massively increase the number of niche businesses. These could never go public, but could tokenize. It could be a major new long-tail capital market.”
