Paying interest with BTC or shares is a potential step, Adam Back notes — Companies may pay interest in BTC

Adam Back, CEO and co-founder of Blockstream, discusses recent corporate strategies involving tax loss harvesting and capital management.

He points out that after previous concerns about companies’ abilities to pay interest, some firms sold shares at-the-market to ensure a large cash reserve. Back now suggests a next step: encouraging acceptance that interest payments can also be made with BTC or shares, not just cash.

But we saved everything 🙂.

Back has previously commented on buy-and-hold strategies, stating that acquiring high-quality stocks at the 200-week average could outperform the S&P 500. He has also noted technical risks in the blockchain sector, including the potential for bip110 to self-fork or fail to activate by a set deadline. These past remarks reflect his focus on both capital allocation and infrastructure developments.
