On February 5th, as per the official website of the FDIC, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) released 175 documents today related to the regulation of banks that are involved in or attempting to participate in crypto-related businesses. Acting Chairman Travis Hill mentioned that the FDIC had previously disclosed 25 "Pause" letters received by 24 banks. The documents released this time encompass more correspondence from these banks as well as relevant communication records from other banks. The documents indicate that banks' requests to engage in crypto businesses generally faced resistance. This includes regulatory agencies repeatedly requesting additional information, long periods of non-response, or direct instructions to cease all crypto and blockchain activities, which led most banks to ultimately abandon their related endeavors. Hill stated that the FDIC is reevaluating its regulatory approach to crypto-related businesses and intends to replace the 2022 regulatory guidance (FIL 16-2022) to offer banks a compliant path to engage in crypto businesses while ensuring safety and soundness. The FDIC will also participate in the President's Working Group to coordinate regulatory discussions on the digital asset market following the President's executive order on January 23rd.

Companies usually hold a large amount of cash reserves to ensure stability and liquidity. Nevertheless, MicroStrategy's CEO Michael Saylor vividly compared cash to a "melting ice cube," constantly losing purchasing power due to currency depreciation. In contrast, Bitcoin, with its fixed supply, global liquidity, and asymmetric upside potential, has become a viable alternative. Although many companies still adhere to traditional financial strategies, corporate finance is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Currently, more than 70 publicly traded companies hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets, such as Tesla, Coinbase, and Block.
