Rumble said the company plans to purchase up to $20 million in Bitcoin, joining other publicly traded companies, including MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital Holdings, and Tesla that have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets.“We believe that the world is still in the early stages of the adoption of Bitcoin, which has recently accelerated with the election of a crypto-friendly U.S. presidential administration and increased institutional adoption,” Pavlovski said at the time. “Unlike any government-issued currency, Bitcoin is not subject to dilution through endless money-printing, enabling it to be a valuable inflation hedge and an excellent addition to our treasury.”The post <a href="https://cryptosnewss.com/tether-invests-775-million-in-rumble-to-support-decentralized-media/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tether Invests $775 Million in Rumble to Support Decentralized Media</a> appeared first on <a href="https://cryptosnewss.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cryptos Newss</a>.
