Canadian pharmaceutical company buys more Bitcoin?! The latest on digital assets for beginners!
Hello everyone! I'm your Blockchain brother, John!
Recently, when watching the news, you often hear the words "digital assets" and "crypto assets," but they seem difficult to understand, and I'm sure there are many people out there who don't really understand what they mean. Don't worry, today I'm going to bring you some special news in an easy-to-understand way that will make even those of you who are like, "Oh, I see!"
This time, I would like to introduce to you the story of a Canadian company called "Quantum Biopharma" that has increased its purchases of digital assets such as Bitcoin. Sounds amazing, right? Let's take a closer look!
What kind of company is Quantum Biopharma? What did they buy?
First of all, the main character of this news, Quantum BioPharma Ltd., is a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Canada. A biopharmaceutical company is a company that uses cutting-edge science and technology to research and develop new medicines that are useful for treating and preventing diseases. They play a very important role in supporting our healthy daily lives.
Now, Quantum Biopharma has50 dollars (roughly 7800 million yen in Japanese yen! *Calculated at 1 yen to the dollar)They announced that they had purchased additional Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (angoushisan - like money that can be used on the Internet, Bitcoin is the most famous of these)!
With this additional purchase, the total value of the company's digital assets (digital assets - things that have value not in paper form like cash or stock certificates, but as computer data. Crypto assets are one example of this) is now at 1.2 trillion yen.500 million dollars (about 7 million yen in Japanese yen!)Wow, that's a huge amount of money, I'm surprised!
Let me briefly explain a few important terms here.
- Digital Asset Portfolio:
This is like a "combination" or "list" of various digital assets that the company has. It may be easier to understand what a "portfolio" is if you imagine that you have several piggy banks, with piggy bank A holding Japanese yen, piggy bank B holding foreign currency, piggy bank C holding store points, and so on, all of which are managed together. In the case of this company, all of these assets are digital. - Bitcoin:
Many of you may have heard of it! It is the representative of "digital money" that can be used on the Internet. One of its major features is that it is not tied to a specific country or bank, and allows you to directly exchange money with people all over the world. - Cryptocurrencies:
Besides Bitcoin, there are many other types of "digital money" in the world, such as Ethereum and Ripple. These are collectively called "crypto assets." They are also sometimes called "virtual currencies."
In other words, Quantum Biopharma decided to convert some of its money (assets) into these new forms of digital assets and hold them carefully for the future.
Why would a company buy Bitcoin? And what does it mean for a board of directors to make the decision?
You might be wondering, "Why would a company that develops medicines buy something like Bitcoin?"
In fact, recently, not only among individuals but also large companies around the world, there has been a gradual increase in the number of cases where they are turning their attention to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin when thinking about how to preserve the company's money for the future.
Quantum Biopharma's recent moves could be seen as part of this larger trend.
In particular, what made John think, "Wow, this is serious!" was that this purchase wasBoard of Directors Meeting (a meeting of the company's top executives to decide important company policies and approve major financial spending)The point is that it was thoroughly discussed and formally approved.
What this means is that this was not a casual decision made like, "The president personally likes it, so let's buy it!", but rather it was a very important decision that was made after serious consideration of the company's future, and all the executives decided, "Okay, let's do this!"
Traditionally, the most common ways for a company to hold money (assets) have been through bank deposits, buying stocks in other companies, or owning land and buildings (real estate). However, as times change, new forms of money and new ways of holding assets emerge.
Quantum Biopharma may be trying to reduce risk by dividing their money into various types of assets rather than concentrating it in only one type of asset. This is a way of thinking that is also related to the old saying "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." If you drop one basket, the eggs in the other baskets will be safe. It may be that digital assets have been chosen as one of those important "baskets."
Does this news have anything to do with us?
At first glance, this news story seems to be about a faraway Canadian company, but it seems to provide some interesting insights and food for thought for ordinary people like us.
- Could "digital money" become more familiar to us?
Just a few years ago, many people may have wondered, "What is Bitcoin? Isn't it a bit suspicious?" However, since a reputable company, especially one that makes medicines that affect people's health, has gone through the proper internal procedures to make it an investment target, society may be gradually accepting it as "Oh, so there is a new form of money like that." You may have more opportunities to hear the words "digital assets" and "crypto assets" on TV and in newspaper news from now on.
- A good opportunity to think about new forms of money and ways of holding assets
"Cash is the most secure and easy to understand after all!" That is a very important way of thinking. But don't you think it's interesting to know that there are so many different ways of holding value in the world, in the sense that it broadens your horizons?
Of course, digital assets such as Bitcoin are still new technologies, so their value can suddenly rise or fall, and can fluctuate greatly. So, even if you're interested, don't suddenly invest a large amount of money! Start with a really small amount, do your own research, and make sure you understand the mechanism and risks, and then start carefully! - Could this be a sign of the company's "investment in the future"?
The fact that a company like Quantum Biopharma has digital assets is not just a short-term reason of "it looks like it will rise in value in the future and make a profit," but it may be that they are looking at the company's future from a longer-term perspective. For example, they may be thinking about using them as part of their research and development funds in the future, or making it possible to make smooth payments in international transactions across borders... (Of course, this is just my own imagination, Brother John!). In any case, it shows the company's proactive attitude of always keeping its antenna up for new technologies and changes.
