With markets worldwide facing restrictive monetary policy, businessman and one-time presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy foresees a significant shift in corporate financial tactics. According to him, bitcoin will increasingly feature in institutional treasuries as firms adapt to a high-rate environment. On 18 February 2025, Ramaswamy opined on X, underlining that companies, governments, and investors will have to rethink their investment strategies in the face of a changing economic environment. “Now that the era of easy money is over, companies [and]other institutions (even state actors) will have to rethink their hurdle rates for internal capital investment,” he argued. He also added that in this setting, Bitcoin “is likely to become a more common corporate treasury holding.” This means a change in the way institutions hold reserves. Whilst, with the Federal Reserve keeping its benchmark interest rates in President Donald Trump’s second term, corporate treasurers are said to be considering bitcoin as a diversification asset. As mentioned in our previous story, the strategy follows the model led by companies such as MicroStrategy, which has long held BTC as a fundamental component of its treasury reserves. Meanwhile, Ramaswamy, who is a well-known Bitcoin supporter, has in the past pointed to its use as a hedge against economic uncertainty, such as inflation and tight monetary policy. His latest remark supports the view that companies might increasingly use BTC as conventional investment vehicles struggle in a high-interest-rate environment. Not only corporates but 20 US states are now mulling to build their strategic Bitcoin reserves, as noted by CNF. Ramaswamy’s remarks elicited reactions from key players in the financial and cryptocurrency industries. Preston Pysh, co-founder of The Investor’s Podcast, confirmed the prognosis, saying, “100%.” He went on to say that firms are now paying attention to the amount of bitcoin they can build up instead of traditional earnings measures. Pysh noted , The amount of Bitcoin the company can acquire and hold long-term COMPARED to the amount that they already have on their balance sheet is the new EPS. The smart ones are already publishing this metric: MSTR, Metaplanet, etc. Another one of the respondents employed a nautical metaphor to contend that firms need to adjust or face fiscal instability. “Bitcoin is the tide that raises all ships. It’s sink or swim time for all companies. No point in holding toxic sludge on your balance sheet (U.S. treasuries) that get debased over time,” they stated on X. While others criticized it, others approved of Ramaswamy’s stance. One user opined, “Thank you for helping the U.S. and the world usher into a more positive and hopeful place powered by Bitcoin.”

Changpeng Zhao, founder and former CEO of the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, has decided to donate tokens he received from anonymous market participants to victims of the Test (TST) and Broccoli meme coin projects. The prominent crypto figure clarified that while he has decided to help victims of TST and Broccoli, his actions should not be interpreted as an endorsement for any of the tokens. What Led to CZ’s Donations? On February 15, a pseudonymous Chinese university student named EnHeng announced that he would donate $50,000 in Binance Coin (BNB) to users who incurred losses after investing in the Libra (LIBRA) meme coin. The token, linked to Argentine President Javier Milei, has lost roughly 90% of its value after insiders drained the project’s liquidity. EnHeng said he could relate to the impact of the rug pull on university students because he is one himself. To help those affected, he encouraged other crypto traders to donate to the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) address he provided, clarifying that although assistance is open to all victims, the focus will be on college students. Reacting to EnHeng’s X post, CZ donated 150 BNB worth approximately $100,000, encouraging the crypto user to keep up the good work. To prove that he indeed sent the money, CZ shared a BscScan link with the transaction details on February 18. CZ Receives More BNB and Crypto Tokens Merely 24 hours after tweeting about the transaction, CZ revealed that he had received more BNB than he had donated and even more funds in other tokens. At the time CZ shared the information, the wallet had held 161 BNB; however, by the time of writing, data from BscScan showed the addresses holding at least 369 BNB worth approximately $243,000. Altogether, the wallet holds an additional 100 tokens worth over $543,000. These tokens include Wrapped BNB (WBNB), Cat (CAT), Chengpang Zhoa (ZHOA), CZ’S DOG (Broccoli), Build on BNB (BOB), Binance-Peg BTCB Token (BTCB), and Trust Wallet (TWT). Interestingly, over 25 pending transactions were on the wallet at press time, indicating that users were sending more tokens. “Funny things in crypto. When you try to make quick money, you often lose. When you give money away, you get more back…I won’t be keeping a satoshi of it,” CZ stated. It is worth mentioning that many Broccoli meme coins are on the market, and they were all inspired by CZ’s dog. Most have lost their value after the developers pulled their liquidity. The same goes for TST, which is down 85% from its all-time high ten days ago. The post CZ to Donate BNB And Other Tokens to TST And Broccoli Victims appeared first on CryptoPotato.
