SkyBridge founder: The strategy of public companies mimicking to accumulate BTC is just a short-term phenomenon, and the hype is expected to fade in the coming months

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci recently stated that the trend of public companies incorporating Bitcoin into their balance sheets is merely a temporary phenomenon, predicting that this strategy will lose momentum in the coming months. "Current enterprises are just blindly mimicking (MicroStrategy's) hoarding strategy, and this craze will eventually fade."Scaramucci indicated that investors will eventually question: why pay a premium for companies holding Bitcoin instead of buying it directly? This trend began in 2021 when software company MicroStrategy (MSTR), led by CEO Michael Saylor, was the first to make significant Bitcoin purchases, resulting in its stock price soaring nearly 3000%, attracting other companies such as medical device maker Semler Scientific (SMLR) and Japanese listed company Metaplanet (3350) to follow suit.The craze is not limited to well-known companies; many small-cap companies are also attracting capital attention by increasing their holdings in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies (such as Ethereum and XRP). However, Scaramucci emphasized that Saylor's success is unique—MicroStrategy has diverse business lines in addition to Bitcoin, while "other follower companies need to bear additional management costs and valuation premiums."Despite being bullish on Bitcoin in the long term, Scaramucci cautioned investors to examine the hidden costs of "Bitcoin concept stocks." With the U.S. SEC approving spot ETFs, institutional investors can now directly allocate Bitcoin, weakening the scarcity logic of corporate hoarding. Data shows that the growth rate of corporate Bitcoin holdings in Q2 2024 has already decreased by 37% compared to the same period last year.
