<p>Out of the total holdings, Real Bedford FC will reserve 15.8 BTC for football-related expenses, while the rest will go to the club’s Treasury. This aligns with the growing trend of corporations adding Bitcoin to their treasuries, a move praised by MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor on X.</p>
<p>Public corporations worldwide are increasing their Bitcoin acquisitions. Japan’s MicroStrategy, under the alias Metaplanet, continues its routine of buying Bitcoin every Monday. As of today, it has added another 20.38 BTC, bringing its total holdings to over 245 Bitcoins.</p>

<p>The trend of corporations increasing their Bitcoin holdings continues globally. In Asia, Hong Kong-listed Boyaa is also planning to invest an additional $100 million in Bitcoin for its Treasury.</p>
<p>The consistent strength of Bitcoin, despite the Mt. Gox redistribution, signals potential upward gains as more corporations participate. The Bitcoin 2024 Conference later this week will be a key event to watch.</p>
<p>Real Bedford FC’s latest Bitcoin purchase underscores their innovative approach to financial management. Their investment strategy sets a strong example of corporate crypto adoption.</p>
