Bitcoin's volatility has attracted companies to invest in Bitcoin treasuries, risking capital erosion as they focus heavily on acquiring the cryptocurrency.
Concerns have been raised by global investment firm VanEck regarding companies not adequately hedging their Bitcoin holdings or diversifying their portfolios.
Capital erosion occurs when a company's market value declines due to investments in high-risk assets like Bitcoin, leading to challenges in raising more capital for investment.
One example is Semler Scientific, whose stock price dropped significantly despite heavy Bitcoin investments, highlighting the risks of capital erosion and the need for diversified portfolios.
