Animoca Research: Altcoin Reserve Strategies Carry Significant Risks but Could Serve as Potential Catalysts for Mass Crypto Adoption
On July 18, Animoca Brands Research released its latest report titled "Altcoin Strategic Reserves," stating that companies are gaining cryptocurrency exposure through financial instruments such as convertible bonds and equity issuances, typically aiming to gradually increase their per-share cryptocurrency holdings. This strategy was initially promoted by companies like MicroStrategy, which holds over 600,000 bitcoins and uses BTC as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Now, altcoins have also entered the corporate spotlight. Companies adding assets such as BNB, TRX, HYPE, and FET to their balance sheets are providing scarce investment opportunities for investors who wish to invest in these tokens but lack convenient channels such as spot ETFs. The stock market has reacted strongly to such news. According to Animoca, the share prices of companies announcing altcoin holdings rose by an average of 150% in a single day, 185% within a week, and 226% within a month. However, these strategies carry significant risks: compared to Bitcoin, altcoins are generally more volatile, less liquid, and more experimental in terms of technology, which may amplify losses during market downturns. The report suggests that if these tokens are used for staking or other network-based functions, they could enhance the liquidity, security, and legitimacy of the entire ecosystem, making altcoin reserves a potential catalyst for broader cryptocurrency adoption.
