Jetking Infotrain becomes first Indian public company to hoard Bitcoin

As a seasoned investor with decades of experience under my belt, I find Jetking Infotrain’s decision to adopt Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset intriguing. Having witnessed the evolution of digital assets and their growing acceptance by mainstream corporations, I am not surprised to see this trend trickle down to emerging markets like India.

Jetking Infotrain, an Indian IT training company with over seven decades of experience, has made history by being the initial publicly traded business in India to incorporate Bitcoin into its financial strategies for corporate reserves.

The company announced the purchase of 12 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately $1.2 million, signaling a shift in how Indian companies approach digital assets.

As a forward-thinking crypto investor, I’m excited about Jetking, a company with a $5 million market cap and $2 million in annual sales, who has boldly chosen Bitcoin as their Primary Treasury Reserve Asset. In this rapidly evolving financial landscape, companies globally are recognizing the value of diversifying their assets and hedging against inflation by incorporating Bitcoin into their balance sheets.

Bitcoin as a company strategic reserve

Jetking’s strategy mirrors a trend observed at companies such as MicroStrategy, who are leveraging Bitcoin for strengthening their financial portfolio diversity, as they adapt to shifting economic landscapes.

As an analyst, I’d like to highlight that according to their recent statement, Jetking has expressed a strategic intent to utilize Bitcoin as the cornerstone of its reserve assets portfolio.

Jetking’s choice could set a precedent for other corporations within India. While international enterprises like MicroStrategy, Tesla, and Coinbase have aggressively adopted Bitcoin as part of their reserve strategies, Indian companies have treaded carefully in this domain.

In November, the Reserve Bank of India issued a word of caution concerning the launch of their central bank digital currency, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly examining its potential consequences. Deputy Governor T. Rabi Sankar acknowledged the technology’s potential to improve cross-border payments and remittances but made it clear that no definitive timeline has been set for its deployment.
