“This is the one asset in modern history, where average people have had a shot at it before companies and before hedge funds and before billionaires… that window may be ending.”— Andy EdstromLocation: RemotelyDate: Thursday 10th DecemberCompany: Swan BitcoinRole: Head of Institutional InvestmentWhen MicroStrategy acquired $425 million of Bitcoin earlier this year, it sent a clear message to corporations everywhere, that Bitcoin is a valuable asset and can be a vital part of a company's treasury.With an asset as volatile as Bitcoin, this move wasn't without its risks, however, just a few months after piling into Bitcoin, that $425 million is now worth around $750 million. Now just a few months after first buying Bitcoin, company CEO, Micael Saylor is not happy with the company's 40,824 Bitcoin and now has plans to raise another $550 million to buy more.In this interview, I talk to Andy Edstrom, the Head of Institutional Investment at Swan Bitcoin.
