The CEO of asset management firm Strive stated via X that Bitcoin serves as their minimum hurdle rate. He analyzed that, when measured by simple total return metrics, investing in companies operating Bitcoin-based businesses over the next 10 to 15 years would likely struggle to outperform Bitcoin's own returns. Nevertheless, he emphasized, "Supporting the Bitcoin network is extremely important, and Bitcoin is Strive's most fundamental treasury asset." He added, "Part of this asset management includes helping Bitcoin-operating companies grow and succeed." He further stated, "As our balance sheet continues to expand in the future, it is worth considering investing in Bitcoin-related companies on a small scale relative to our total asset size, in order to drive Bitcoin's unique ecological success."
