#比特币价格上涨 Seeing the news that Beckham's company abandoned BTC accumulation, I recalled the pitfalls I've encountered over the years. Raising $48 million, boldly claiming to build a "cryptocurrency asset vault," only to change their tune in less than three months—this is a classic example of the project lifecycle trap.
The problem isn't with Bitcoin itself, but with those companies that use BTC reserves as a story for fundraising or as a branding tool. From $114,000 down to $88,000, the paper losses are obvious. At this point, two situations are most likely to occur: either stubbornly insist on being a "Bitcoin company" to continue harvesting retail investors, or simply give up and shift the blame to the market.
They still hold 510 BTC and over $7 million in cash, but this already exposes their true attitude—cryptocurrency assets have never been a core strategy, just a gimmick during fundraising. Holding 510 Bitcoins and still claiming to give up shows that this decision isn't based on conviction.
The most heartbreaking part is: what about retail investors who followed the trend? They hyped it up during fundraising, then immediately changed their tune after cashing out. Anyone who has experienced this knows that to see if a company truly believes in crypto, it’s not about what they say at the fundraising press conference, but whether they hold on when the price drops. Giving up is the real answer.
