According to a Gartner survey, 5% of CFOs plan to invest corporate funds in BTC this year, and 11% of those surveyed are considering such an investment by 2024.
In total, 77 top managers of various companies were interviewed, of which 50 people held the position of financial director. The majority of respondents (84%) noted the risks of investing in cryptocurrencies due to the high volatility of the asset, therefore, mainly among top managers, the position of observing bitcoin was chosen. Also among the reasons for the wait-and-see attitude were the rejection of risky investments by boards of directors (39%), misunderstanding of the asset (30%), the risks of hacking (25%) and the complex accounting process (18%).
Interestingly, the leadership of companies operating in the technology sector is much more positive about the first cryptocurrency. Half of the surveyed top managers of such companies said they plan to invest in bitcoin in the future. Moreover, the size of the organization does not affect the plans of the management.
About 70% of those surveyed said that they would be interested to know what companies that have already invested in Bitcoin are doing with Bitcoin. About the same number of respondents would like a clearer position of regulators in relation to bitcoin.
“Financial top managers, on whom the financial stability of the company depends, are not inclined to suddenly invest in an unknown asset. It is important to remember that investing in bitcoin is just an emerging trend in the corporate environment, “said Alexander Bant, head of research at Gartner.
A Bitwise poll of 1,000 financial advisors found that over the past year, professionals and firms in the finance and consulting industry have become much more interested in digital assets, and 17% are considering investing in bitcoin.
