Tim Draper: "Companies Are Negligent If They Don't Buy Bitcoin"

▲ Bitcoin (BTC)

A prominent investor has issued a warning, stating that companies not holding Bitcoin (BTC) is an irresponsible act that fails to prepare for the depreciation of fiat currency.

According to cryptocurrency specialized media CCN on April 28 (local time), Tim Draper, founder of Draper Associates, strongly urged companies to hold Bitcoin at the Bitcoin 2026 conference held in Las Vegas. Founder Draper criticized companies for being negligent if they do not allocate a portion of their large assets to Bitcoin. He emphasized, "It is now irresponsible for companies to operate without filling between 5% and 15% of their assets with Bitcoin."

Draper pointed out that the value of fiat currency is declining in the long term due to the effects of inflation. He asserted that if one wants to protect their family, company, and country, they must hold Bitcoin. The analysis suggests that as more stores accept Bitcoin, a massive shift away from the traditional banking system will occur. Draper advised companies to proactively respond to the upheaval in the financial system, stating, "Such a change could be a cataclysmic event."

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, also reiterated an optimistic forecast that the price of Bitcoin will reach $125,000 by the end of the year. Co-founder Hayes diagnosed that the global liquidity environment bottomed out at the end of last year and that it is now time for a full-fledged rally to begin. He stated, "The liquidity chart has confirmed a bottom. Now it's time to break out." He explained that geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties will lead central banks to adopt accommodative monetary policies, which will be a boon for Bitcoin.

On the supply side, a record-breaking supply-demand imbalance was predicted. Michael Saylor, CEO of Strategy, announced that a massive supply shock is approaching the Bitcoin market. Michael Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy, analyzed that Strategy's aggressive accumulation strategy is exacerbating the supply shortage. Strategy recently purchased an additional approximately $2.5 billion worth of Bitcoin, securing a total of over 815,000 BTC.

Novogratz pointed out that the current market lacks sufficient supply to handle monthly, let alone weekly, buying pressure of $1 billion. He expressed concern about the market's capacity, stating, "There isn't even enough supply to absorb $1 billion a month." As institutional investors and spot ETFs increase their share of circulating Bitcoin, the market's supply drying up phenomenon is expected to accelerate. Bitcoin is now firmly establishing itself as a central asset in corporate finance.
