Part 12/17:
Barhydt shares an optimistic outlook about traditional financial institutions and asset managers embracing Bitcoin. He notes that most boardrooms and management teams are already exploring or have modest holdings, recognizing Bitcoin’s potential to protect purchasing power and act as a "long-term hedge." Large companies are contemplating their treasury strategies and may soon increase their exposure as the market matures.
He stresses that early adopters bear the volatility—"the price has to go through the laws of physics"—but in the long run, the value will stabilize, and the transition will occur naturally as people recognize Bitcoin's utility for wealth preservation and strategic positioning.
