Critical Metals Corp. (CRML, Financial) is shaking things up with plans to put $500 million into Bitcoin (BTC) as part of its treasury strategy. The Nasdaq-listed miner, known for its work in critical minerals like lithium, sees the move as a hedge against inflation and a way to strengthen its balance sheet. CEO Tony Sage says this lines up with growing government interest in Bitcoin reserves, pointing to President Trump's recent push for a national stockpile.
This shift comes as U.S. regulators take a softer stance on crypto. The SEC just launched a new pro-crypto task force, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, aiming to create a more business-friendly environment. The CFTC is also leaning pro-crypto, with Caroline Pham stepping in as interim chair.
With Bitcoin sitting above $101,000, companies like MicroStrategy (MSTR, Financial), MARA Holdings (MARA, Financial), and KULR Technology (KULR) continue adding to their reserves. Crypto is becoming a bigger part of corporate finance, and Critical Metals is jumping in.
