Corporate treasury adoption of Bitcoin is being scrutinized for whether it genuinely creates shareholder value or simply amplifies exposure to BTC price swings.

Investors watch corporate treasury behavior closely because it represents a category of demand that is sticky on the way in but can become a source of forced selling under financial stress.
