Little-known Canadian crypto firm Matador adds Bitcoin to its books

As a seasoned investor with over two decades of experience in various markets, I find Matador Technologies’ decision to incorporate Bitcoin into their treasury strategy both intriguing and prudent. Having witnessed the devaluation of fiat currencies due to inflationary pressures, I understand their concerns about the potential depreciation of Canadian dollars, especially given Canada’s reliance on oil exports and rising national debt.

Matador Technologies, a Canadian business specializing in real-world asset tokenization, has recently opted to include Bitcoin as part of their financial reserves.

On December 23rd, the company announced that their board of directors had all agreed to incorporate Bitcoin (BTC) and dollars-based assets into their financial holdings. This decision was made as part of their long-term plan for safeguarding their capital.

The matador acknowledged the presence of potential risks linked mainly to its existing treasury, which is predominantly held in Canadian currency.

The statement suggests that as Canada increasingly depends on exporting oil and sees an increase in its national debt, there are growing worries about the possible depreciation of Canadian currency and a decrease in the value of goods bought with Canadian money.

Matador announced its intention to invest $4.5 million into Bitcoin (BTC) during December, with further potential investments being considered through thoughtful buying strategies at the executive level.

Sunny Ray, Matador’s President, mentioned that they intend to switch a large portion of their cash holdings from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars as well.

“Matador’s Board and management believe in using Bitcoin to future-proof our treasury. This step also supports our mission to explore using Bitcoin as a platform for our gold-based products.”

Next year, the company plans to introduce a digital gold platform, which they will fund through a Bitcoin treasury. This platform, based on blockchain technology, allows users to purchase, exchange, and securely hold tokens representing real gold that is backed by physical reserves.

As an analyst, I’ve noticed a growing trend among businesses recently: they are increasingly incorporating Bitcoin into their financial reserves as part of their long-term strategy. Matador is one such company that has joined this movement, making it the latest to adopt this digital currency as a strategic reserve.

As an analyst, on December 20th, I disclose that my company, Quantum BioPharma, has made a strategic decision to invest $1 million in Bitcoin (BTC) and various other cryptocurrencies. This move is part of our plan to diversify our treasury holdings.

By early December, the health and wellness organization Jiva Technologies and video-sharing platform Rumble both decided to invest in Bitcoin. Specifically, Jiva Technologies agreed to put $1 million into Bitcoin as part of their strategy, while Rumble approved a plan to allocate up to $20 million of their excess funds towards Bitcoin.
