Is the time coming when companies will own Bitcoin? A clear explanation of the news that a Swedish company got 144 BTC!
Hello everyone! I'm John, your local blockchain guy.
When you hear about "blockchain (a new technology for securely managing information together)" or "Bitcoin (an internet-based digital currency that uses blockchain technology)," you might think, "That sounds kind of difficult..." or "It doesn't really have anything to do with me."
But don't worry! In this blog, we will explain the latest technology news in an easy-to-understand way that anyone can understand, so that you can read it while relaxing with a cup of coffee. We will explain technical terms as much as possible using analogies and things that are familiar to you, so don't worry.
Well, today's topic is an interesting news from Sweden. A company called "H100 Group" that deals with health technology (called health tech) hasApproximately 144.8 BTC was receivedYes, it is! What does this mean? And what does it mean for us? Let's find out!
What is H100 Group, and why did they accept Bitcoin?
First, let's look at the main character of this news, the H100 Group. This company is based in Sweden and is developing new technologies and services to support our health. It seems like they're going to make the future better, and it's exciting!
Such is the H100 group,144.8 BTCHe said he got 100 Bitcoins. This "BTC" is the unit of measurement for the amount of Bitcoin. For example, in Japan, we count in yen, right? Like 1000 yen, 1 yen, etc. In the case of Bitcoin, we count it as 2BTC, 144.8BTC, etc. It is difficult to say how much XNUMX BTC would be in today's Japanese yen because the price fluctuates daily, but there is no doubt that it would be a considerable amount.
You may be wondering, "But how could a normal company accept Bitcoin?"Convertible bond financing"This involves a somewhat special financial transaction.
What is a convertible bond loan?
Well, just hearing the name sounds difficult, doesn't it? But don't worry! I'll explain it super simply.
In order for a company to expand its business, it needs money. One way to raise that money is through convertible bond financing.
- With a normal loan, the company pays back the borrowed money with interest to the person or bank that lent it to them.
- However, this "convertible bond type loan" has a slightly unusual option. The lender can choose to "invest in the company's shares in exchange for being repaid in cash" in the future.TurnipYou have the right to choose "Exchange it for!"
- By the way, "stocks" are the rights of a company owner divided into smaller parts, and if you own them, you can receive a portion of the company's profits and participate in the company's management. It's like owning stocks in a company you want to support or a company that seems likely to grow.
In the case of the H100 Group, the convertible bond loan contract states:Payment" Bitcoin was paid as part of the settlement. Think of "settlement" as the proper completion of the contract and the formal end of mutual exchange. Perhaps there was a special agreement between the H100 Group and the party that lent the money that said, "You can pay with Bitcoin instead of money."
What is the total amount of Bitcoin held by the company now?
Now, with the addition of this new 144.8 BTC, the total amount of Bitcoin held by the H100 Group is nowA total of 169.2 BTCIt seems that it has become!
And this Bitcoin is the company'sBalance Sheet" will be recorded as an asset. A balance sheet is also called a "balance sheet" in Japanese, but more simply,Company health certificate"And"Company Asset ListIt's like a document that shows at a glance how much assets the company has (cash, buildings, machinery, and now Bitcoin, etc.) and how much debt it has, and so on, and so on, the company's management status.
In other words, for the H100 Group, Bitcoin is no longer an experimental venture, but is officially recognized and managed as "one of the company's valuable assets," just like cash, land, buildings, etc. This is a big point!
What does this news mean for us?
Some of you may be thinking, "Oh, so a Swedish company has acquired Bitcoin. But what does that have to do with us?" But actually, there are some very interesting points hidden in this, even for beginners like us, when thinking about the future of blockchain and Bitcoin!
- Point 1: Will Bitcoin go from being “special” to being “commonplace”?
In the past, Bitcoin may have been thought of as something only for people who are very knowledgeable about technology or who make high-risk investments. However, the fact that ordinary companies (especially those developing technologies related to our health!) are now holding Bitcoin as official company assets is proof that Bitcoin is gradually being accepted by society and becoming more common. It's similar to how the Internet, which used to be used only by a select few, is now used by everyone as a matter of course.
- Point 2: New options emerge for corporate financial transactions?
In this news, Bitcoin was used as a form of "convertible bond loan settlement." This shows the possibility that Bitcoin could be used as a new and convenient way for companies to raise money (the technical term for this is "fundraising") and make payments for transactions (this is called "settlement"). Until now, bank transfers and cash have been the mainstream, but from now on, the option of "using Bitcoin" may become more casual and the future may not be so far away. This may be especially convenient for cross-border transactions.
- Point 3: This may be a sign of hope for "blockchain" technology!
The reason why Bitcoin is attracting so much attention is because of theBlock chain" is an innovative technology that allows many computers to share the same information and manage records that are difficult to tamper with and highly transparent (it's like a digital notebook that everyone is watching and never erases!). When a company holds Bitcoin as an asset, it can be thought of as an indirect evaluation of the future potential and reliability of this blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is expected to be used not only in the financial world, but also in a wide variety of fields, such as medical record management, food origin tracking, and entertainment copyright management.
As you can see, even news that at first glance may seem a bit technical can contain many hidden hints that can help us understand how our lives and society will change in the future. So let's continue to have fun learning together!
A word from John
Wow, what an interesting time we live in, with a Swedish health tech company adding Bitcoin to its assets in this way! When I first got involved in this industry, there were still quite a few voices saying, "Is Bitcoin really safe? It seems a bit suspicious..." But now I feel that Bitcoin is establishing itself as a "legitimate asset" that is firmly on the balance sheets of companies.
This trend may continue to accelerate in the future. It's exciting to think about what industry and what company will take a step into the world of Bitcoin next! I'll keep my eyes peeled so I can keep you updated with the latest news!
