      British companies that piled into the Bitcoin craze have lost almost £80m after a slump in the cryptocurrency’s price.

      UK-listed companies have spent more than £360m on crypto purchases in an attempt to capitalise on a trend for “Bitcoin treasury” companies.

      The businesses’ value mostly derives from their Bitcoin holdings rather than their operating businesses, allowing investors to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency through the stock market rather than owning the coins outright.

      A string of British companies pursued Bitcoin investment strategies earlier this year amid a surge in the asset’s price and booming investor demand for US counterparts such as Strategy, which briefly became worth more than $127bn (£95bn) during a rally this summer.

      However, many of the British businesses buying into the craze did so near the peak of the market, according to calculations by The Telegraph.

      British companies will do anything but invest in their workforce.

      damn, British companies lost money on a ponzi? How can that be if all the ponzibros said it’s totally legit and sensible?

      Well, many people advise against investing in Bitcoins due to the involved risks.

      Bitcoin’s still super volatile, and jumping in late can burn you fast.

      Telegraph doing their propaganda again. These companies haven’t lost, because the looser here is the average tax payer. The money channeled to Bitcoin were mostly “investments” used for tax avoidance. If they didn’t pour it into Bitcoin, it would either end up in British treasuries or invested into the economy as a real investment.

      It’s only a loss when they sell

      Historically Bitcoin’s price has been on a massive upward trend.

      Will the Telegraph print another article saying how much the British companies have made when Bitcoins price starts going up again?

      Oh hell. Here come all the human bots who get paid in Bitcoin to shovel their shit on reddit to tell us how Bitcoin is the greatest thing ever and it’s no different from the dollar or euro

      But still, million-dollar monkey pics were peak crypto 😂 I kind of miss those times.

      A guy in Iceland sold his house to buy bitcoin

      When will People realize that Bitcoin (and all other cryptocurrencies) are just another FIAT “currency” pegged against and backed by nothingness of the digital void

      Oh, it is so secure?

      Tell me, how do you access your secure 1’s and 0’s money that only exists in a certain part of the Internet when all the infrastructure carrying these digital signals is unplugged …

      Or how about they (the internet shitlords like Musk and friends) just switch your digital wallet “off”?

      Fools and their money deserve to be parted from each other

      I mean, crypto is not investing, its gambling. Always has been.

    19. Normatyvas on

      Why they lost? If you trade when you can loose on anything its not related to Bitcoin. If you hold you dont loose. Its just headline to scare people so smart money could buy more cheaper.
      If you bought something and sold at lower value doesnt mean that thing is bad its just your trade did not work.
      Noone ever lost money by holding bitcoin 5 years.

      Idk why but crypto currencies feel like a pyramid scheme. Maybe I don’t understand them idk.

      In other news, Tesla has made millions of their investment in Bitcoin.

    22. CanemDevelop on

      Give it another 6 months and they’ll be up 80 million. I hope you’re all around to comment then

    23. Protton6 on

      Its literally meaningless unless they sold their bitcoin. Its not a loss if you hold the bitcoin still and just wait for it to do stuff. It will bounce back, it did before and it will again, when it gets low enough and someone will launch a huge hype of “its the floor, lets buy bitcoin and gain milions again!” and it will launch itself up. Maybe not as high as before.

      Its a volatile commodity. Not suprised people dont realise what it means. Gold behaved much like this aswell, jumping up and down 100% before.

      Again, this sub literally only posts negative things about the UK.

    26. yoshi105 on

      Have they sold? If not, they haven’t lost anything. Dumb article.

      Crypto was always meant as CURRENCY for paying shit.

      Not as an INVESTMENT to hoard like maniacs.
