Wellness and plant-based e-commerce firm Jiva Technologies has become the latest corporate entity to go ahead with a Bitcoin treasury strategy, following a board of directors’ approval of up to $1 million in BTC investments.&nbsp;
“As Bitcoin continues to gain traction as a widely accepted and trusted asset class, we see a unique opportunity to strengthen our treasury with a resilient and innovative investment,” Jiva Technologies CEO Lorne Rapkin <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jiva-technologies-integrates-bitcoin-into-treasury-strategy-as-board-approves-up-to-1-million-investment-302315273.html" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jiva-technologies-integrates-bitcoin-into-treasury-strategy-as-board-approves-up-to-1-million-investment-302315273.html">said</a> on Nov. 25.
Rapkin added that Bitcoin’s “inherent scarcity and finite supply position it as a modern hedge against inflation and a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty.”
He cited the potential for favorable regulatory frameworks and increased institutional adoption, highlighting the recent wave of <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/articles/the-history-of-bitcoin-when-did-bitcoin-start" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">Bitcoin</a> exchange-traded fund inflows, which have totaled more than $30 billion since launch.
This “underscores Bitcoin’s value proposition and makes us believe it is an ideal asset for corporate treasuries seeking inflation-resistant stores of value,” he said.&nbsp;
Canadian-headquartered Jiva Technologies is dedicated to building online <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/beyond-fitness-trackers-where-web3-ai-and-wellness-intersect" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">wellness</a> communities and creating immersive physical environments with a focus on joint ventures to support wellness brands.&nbsp;
The company, which rebranded from PlantX Life in early November, owns and operates Bloombox Club, an online plant delivery marketplace serving the United States, United Kingdom and Europe.&nbsp;
On Nov. 11, the company <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://jivatech.co/press_release/jiva-technologies-partners-with-kale-coin-kale-to-develop-a-game-changing-wellness-and-sustainability-cryptocurrency/" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">announced</a> a joint venture with Kale Coin (KALE), an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency that is being created specifically for the wellness industry.
Jiva stock spiked 36.4% to $0.33 following the announcement, <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/PLTXF:OTCMKTS" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">according</a> to Google Finance.&nbsp;
