BITCOIN TREASURY FAQ

Are we too late to Bitcoin?

Ask yourself three questions: Do you think Congress is going to stop over-spending? Do you think they're going to stop debasing the currency? Do you think the debt-based monetary system will suddenly reverse course?

If the answer to any of these is "no," you're not too late. We are 17 years into a once-in-a-species opportunity. It is still early. Use our Bitcoin treasury calculator to model historical and future scenarios.

What is Bitcoin executive education?

Tailored 2-3 hour sessions for boards, executives, or finance teams. We cover Bitcoin fundamentals, monetary economics, corporate case studies from Strategy and Tesla, risk frameworks, and the Canadian regulatory landscape.

Sessions are available virtually or in-person across Canada. It's 10,000 hours of learning condensed into one session — for leadership teams who don't have 10,000 hours to spare. See our services page for details.

What makes Bitcoin different from other cryptocurrencies?

No pre-mine. Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap is absolute. No central authority can print more. No founder allocation. No dilution. It's the first and only truly scarce digital asset. Most cryptocurrencies have pre-mines, founder allocations, or inflationary monetary policies. Bitcoin doesn't.

How is Bitcoin classified under IFRS and ASPE?

Bitcoin is typically classified as an intangible asset under both IFRS and ASPE. Recent FASB and SAB accounting changes in the US have improved treatment. We provide high-level guidance to help you ask the right questions of your accountant. Your existing accounting firm should be able to handle Bitcoin classification — it's becoming standard practice.

What are the risks of holding Bitcoin in corporate treasury?

Volatility risk: Bitcoin is volatile. But the risk of Bitcoin going to zero is less than the risk of the current monetary system collapsing. We're witnessing systematic currency debasement as policy.

Custody risk: Mitigated through institutional-grade Canadian custody providers with proper insurance and security protocols.

Regulatory risk: We help you navigate Canadian regulatory requirements and stay current as the landscape evolves.

Why not just buy a Bitcoin ETF instead of holding Bitcoin directly?

Two reasons: Counterparty risk and future utility. ETFs introduce third-party risk. Direct Bitcoin ownership means you control the asset. Additionally, Bitcoin held directly can be used as collateral for lowest-cost borrowing in the future — ETFs can't. Start with Bitcoin the way it was invented to be used. Take control of your own destiny.

What is pristine collateral?

Bitcoin is the only 24/7/365 liquid asset that can be settled within 10 minutes with 100% recovery rate and 10-minute return time. No other collateral in the world offers this. It's gold that flies — the portability and settlement speed of digital assets combined with the scarcity of precious metals.

How does Bitcoin help our company?

Bitcoin provides an accretive growth engine on your balance sheet. You don't have to focus exclusively on growth of the underlying business. Spend less time managing money like a hedge fund and more time concentrating on your craft.

Position Bitcoin as a strategic differentiator that signals innovation and financial foresight. No earnings calls that miss expectations and sell off 5-10%. Just long-term capital preservation in the hardest asset ever created.

Hasn't the USA already defaulted on its obligations?

People say the USA has never defaulted. But what about 1971 when they went off the gold standard? That was a default. The entire monetary system changed from Bretton Woods to Nixon Shock to today's debt-based system. Understanding this history is crucial to understanding why Bitcoin matters now.

What about a 6102 attack? Could governments seize Bitcoin?

Executive Order 6102 in 1933 criminalized gold ownership. Could governments try similar tactics with Bitcoin? Possibly. But Bitcoin's decentralized nature makes it far more difficult to confiscate than physical gold. This is why proper custody and security protocols matter. We help you implement strategies that protect your holdings.

What happens when robots start mining gold?

When robots make robots and start mining gold in asteroids or the ocean floor, gold's scarcity disappears. (Sounds crazy? Give it ten years.) Bitcoin's 21 million cap cannot be changed. No technological advancement can create more Bitcoin. This is why it's the superior store of value for the digital age.

How long does Bitcoin treasury implementation take?

Most companies start with executive education ($2,500/session) to build foundational knowledge, then move to assessment ($7,500, 2 weeks) and full implementation ($15,000-$25,000, 4-6 weeks).

This includes board approval, custody setup, initial acquisition, and compliance documentation. We guide you through every step. See our services page for detailed breakdown.
