How company bets on bitcoin can backfireLONDON, Dec 28, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The year-end plunge in cryptocurrencies has rattled companies that had bet heavily on bitcoin, sending share prices tumbling and reviving fears of a bubble.

"Bitcoin is inherently volatile in both directions, and we view that volatility as the cost of long-term upside," Dylan LeClair, head of bitcoin strategy at Japan's Metaplanet, told AFP. He told AFP that falling prices are "a good opportunity because it allows you to buy more bitcoin cheaply."
