Corporate Investments in Bitcoin, Not Inflation, Pose Real Threat to Dollar

2021-2-11 16:04

According to one analyst, the U.S. government will “regulate the hell out of Bitcoin” if it starts to see the $BTC as a threat to the dollar.

However, the faster companies and wealth managers adopt, the more difficult it will become for the government to intervene.

Bitcoin Eats Into Gold ETF Market Share

In hindsight, Elon Musk’s consistent tweets about Dogecoin may have been a hint about Tesla’s BTC purchase. Now, while Bitcoin enthusiasts await the next significant corporate investment, the conversion of cash balances to BTC may have more significant implications than its proposition as an inflationary hedge.

Bitcoin and gold have followed a negative correlation with the dollar index since the COVID-19 crash.

The 90-day Spearman correlation for BTC with the dollar dropped to negative 0.36 alongside gold. Although, the downside in the greenback has favored Bitcoin’s rise more than gold.

Gold topped out at $2,075 per ounce on Aug. 7 last year. Since then, BTC has gained 320% to the peak of $48,200 yesterday, while gold has been in a downtrend. 

In October last year, JP Morgan’s analyst found Grayscale GBTC investment has beaten gold ETF allocation since 2019. They also predicted that Bitcoin’s value could appreciate ten times when compared with gold.

Cash reserve allocation to BTC, like Tesla and MicroStrategy, act as insurance for these companies.

Still, this trend is starting to hurt the dollar’s value. While Bitcoin has set its sights on $50,000, the dollar index (DXY) is leaning towards a negative breakdown below $90.5. The currency index against competing reserve currencies has found support at $89.2 next.

If companies start to shed their cash balances for BTC, the declining popularity could hurt USD’s value more than inflation.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.
