Which treasury strategy is gaining ground in 2025: Bitcoin as digital gold or Ether as a yield engine? In recent years, companies and countries have increasingly included cryptocurrencies in their treasury strategies. Traditionally, corporate treasuries relied on cash, gold or government bonds to maintain value, ensure liquidity and provide financial stability. Governments had gold reserves to back their currencies. However, cash loses purchasing power. Bonds carry rate and duration risk. Foreign exchange shocks hit balance sheets without warning. Ideally, you want a reserve that holds value, moves fast across borders and plugs into digital rails. That is why Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and, in some cases, stablecoins now sit beside cash, gold and T-bills. Read more

The proof contains all the Bitcoin block headers from the genesis block until the present, but not the full and detailed Bitcoin blockchain history, which is over 680 gigabytes in size.  Each block header includes the version number of the Bitcoin software used to mine the block, a reference to the previous block in the chain, a timestamp, the block size and the nonce — the random number the miner has to find to add the block to the ledger.

The first university graduate course on Bitcoin has ended. Here’s the assigned reading, grading structure and lessons learned — from the lecturer himself. Bitcoin (BTC) has leapt from chat rooms and code repos into graduate syllabi. At the University of the Cumberlands (UC), students recently completed the eight-week course “Bitcoin: Fundamentals, Technology, and Applications.” This graduate course grappled with Rothbard’s monetary theory, Mises’ critiques and technology overviews from classic Bitcoin works. It asked not whether Bitcoin matters but how much it matters — and how it reshapes money, markets and management. The idea for the course was imagined at the end of 2024, as Bitcoin was approaching new all-time highs (ATH).
