Contributors Corner Eps 13- The Corporate Crypto Strategy No One's Talking About, Until Now
Corporate balance sheets are going rogue. In a move that's shaking up traditional finance, companies like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Nakamoto, and Metaplanet are ditching cash for Bitcoin — turning their treasuries into crypto war chests. It's bold, it's controversial, and it could redefine how corporations store and grow value.
On this episode of Contributors Corner, we're back with our crypto and blockchain aficionado, Bandeep Singh Rangar, CEO of Fineqia to break down the wild west of crypto.
We're dissecting the latest trend of public companies turning their balance sheets into Bitcoin vaults. Why are companies like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Nakamoto, and Metaplanet hoarding Bitcoin? And if this is a speculative bet or a massive shift in how corporations protect value?
Bandeep pulls back the curtain on how these 'Bitcoin treasury companies' are commanding insane premiums — sometimes trading at 4–5x the value of their holdings and why institutional investors are piling in. We also explore the rise of ETFs and how they provide a regulated backdoor to crypto exposure without the self-custody headaches.
But here's the big question: Can these companies survive a long crypto winter? Bandeep breaks down the three critical factors — size, management, and asset mix — that will separate the survivors from the collapses. And if you've been wondering whether corporate giants like Apple or Amazon could jump into this game, Bandeep has thoughts on that too.
This conversation cuts through the hype to reveal what's really driving the corporate shift toward crypto — and what it means for the future of traditional finance.

(NASDAQ:MOGO; TSX:MOGO) ('Mogo' or the 'Company'), a digital wealth and payments company with a strategic Bitcoin treasury, today announced it has monetized approximately $13.8 million of its investment in WonderFi Technologies Inc.

Article content Mogo is allocating the proceeds from this monetization in line with its long-term capital strategy. With these proceeds, the Company has increased its investment in Bitcoin 1 to approximately $2 million, further reinforcing its conviction in Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset and a core pillar of its treasury strategy.
