The adoption of the “Saylorization” strategy has become one of the decisive financial trends in 2025. Companies listed on the stock market, from Metaplanet to Japan to the European Blockchain group, restructure their capital executives to prioritize the accumulation of Bitcoin (BTC).
Joe Burnett, director of Bitcoin Strategy at Semler Scientific and former market research director at Unchained, a Bitcoin financial services company, noted that these companies do not simply follow the example of the United States but, in some cases, going beyond it. In an exclusive interview with Beincrypto, Burnett explored what motivates companies to digital gold and how Bitcoin resumes business reserves.
Bitcoin: assets for resilient companies of companies
Beincrypto recently reported that at least 61 companies had adopted a Bitcoin cash strategy, and even more to join the list. Whether it’s Brazil’s Méliuz or Japan Anap Holdings, everyone is now adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.
Burnett argues that this is not just a temporary trend, but the emergence of Bitcoin as an entrepreneur of the corporate treasure of the next decade.
“Looking beyond the size of the increases, what is key here is the intention: companies around the world optimize their financial infrastructure around Bitcoin. We no longer see only the balance sheet hedges, but complete cash engines based on principles of hard money,” he said.
So, what feeds this world pivot? He explained that Bitcoin is filling critical shortcomings of financial infrastructure. In regions where inflation erodes cash reserves, access to dollars is restricted or cross -border payments are slow and expensive, Bitcoin offers a convincing alternative.
Even on the stable markets, motivations differ but are no less strategic. Companies allocate Bitcoin as a long -term reserve asset, attracted by its unique monetary properties: a fixed offer, a world neutrality and a transparent program.
“In the two contexts, Bitcoin does not replace the system, but becoming significant coverage for companies that think beyond short-term market cycles,” Burnett told Beincryptto.
The executive stressed that, although Bitcoin’s outfit can protect capital, integrate it into the capital structure transforms it into a “working actor”. The global negotiability of Bitcoin, instant settlement and immunity to capital controls allow companies to access credit, improve liquidity and reduce dependence on traditional financial systems.
This is particularly precious on the markets where credit is rare or infrastructure is underdeveloped.
“For prospective companies, the adoption of Bitcoin is not only to preserve value. It is a question of building a more resilient and flexible assessment which can work both on inherited and emerging financial systems,” he noted.
The future of Bitcoin reserves in corporate capital structures
While companies already use Bitcoin as a reserve asset and loan guarantees, Burnett predicts that assets will become a fundamental element of corporate capital structures during the next decade.
“We will probably see more companies sending debts to acquire bitcoin or use it as guarantee in credit and liquidity strategies, a game book launched by Microstrategy which is now adapted on public and private markets,” said the executive.
This approach is gaining ground while businesses are rethinking the way they balance equity, debts and cash reserves. According to Burnett, as the role of Bitcoin as a financial instrument increases, it will help companies create new methods for capital collection and the management of their financial operations.
Thus, companies could start operating outside the traditional banking system, using Bitcoin -based strategies for treasury management and capital training.
But what does that mean for traditional financial institutions? With the growing demand for the BTC, traditional financial institutions are faced with a calculation.
“Bitcoin challenges some of the basic hypotheses of traditional financial institutions are built. It is an active carrier holder with final regulations, not something that you can freeze, reverse or intermediate,” noted Burnett.
However, he added that some institutions are already adapting. Banks like BNY Mellon and BBVA explore childcare and advice services.
However, Burnett thinks that these institutions are still counting on traditional financial systems and infrastructure that is not designed for digital assets like Bitcoin. Consequently, without further integration in the native Bitcoin ecosystem, these institutions will be confronted with challenges in support companies fully using Bitcoin as a central part of their financial strategy.
Thus, banks should adopt systems more advanced and specific to Bitcoin which operate within the framework of decentralized digital currency.
“The gap becomes clearer: the institutions that deal with Bitcoin as basic infrastructure compared to those who delay. Those who move early will be better placed to support customers operating in a world where the active workers are adjusting on a global, transparent and without confidence intermediaries,” said Burnett.
How companies can navigate the risk of Bitcoin reserve
It should be noted that the Bitcoin reserve strategy is not without challenges. Sygnim recently warned that companies are faced with risk of insolvency and could also contribute to the destabilization of the market.
Burnett recognized these concerns. He attributed the risks to poor execution rather than bitcoin.
“If you use short-term capital, do not have access to liquidity and no internal process to manage market volatility, it is a fragile configuration. It is not that bitcoin causes risk; it is that some companies jump the structure that they would normally apply to any other volatile asset,” he said.
According to Burnett, the solution lies in disciplined strategies. Companies that use long -term capital, establish clear policies and avoid the lever effect can treat bitcoin as a stable reserve rather than a speculative bet.
The solid infrastructure – such as multi -institution custody, access to credit and solid internal controls – is essential to ensure that Bitcoin is perfectly integrated into a wider cash strategy.
