Microstrategy was a public company that recently put its treasury reserves into 100% BTC from USD.
Why is this important: note "public." To do this legally, they had to convince:
- external auditors
- internal compliance
- external/internal legal
- and where it gets interesting: the institutional investors who are large enough to matter, i.e. your big-money movers. This party says no at a shareholder meeting, the conversion isn't happening.
CFO who led this found that last party were all ok with the move given explanation, and most owned BTC already. 1 holdout took some convincing. These big money-movers hold BTC already, in short. Yeah it's not 100% of their assets, but this isn't an argument about that.
