As Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) becomes a key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40927528/microstrategy-raises-875m-in-convertible-notes-plans-further-bitcoin-purchases">asset for corporate treasuries</a>, public companies are increasingly adopting innovative strategies to maximize their Bitcoin holdings.
What Happened: What began with MicroStrategy's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) decision to include Bitcoin in its corporate treasury has sparked a wave of similar moves by companies like Cathedra Bitcoin (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBTTF#OTC">CBTTF</a>), Metaplanet and Semler Scientific (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>).
The trend is redefining how firms manage their balance sheets and navigate economic uncertainty, <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/09/19/maximizing-bitcoin-per-share-a-new-corporate-strategy/?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=rss&amp;utm_campaign=headlines">according</a> to Coindesk.
MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, stands at the forefront of this shift, recently expanding its Bitcoin portfolio to 244,800 coins, valued at nearly $9.45 billion. Saylor's approach, positioning Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, has sent MicroStrategy's stock soaring—up 295% over the past year. 
The company's continued investments in Bitcoin, including a recent $700 million bond offering to finance more acquisitions, signal a long-term commitment to the cryptocurrency. 
Despite concerns over the stock's mixed technical outlook, Saylor remains bullish, stating that Bitcoin's role in corporate finance will only grow.
MicroStrategy's strategy has paved the way for other companies to follow suit. 
Cathedra Bitcoin, a publicly traded firm on the TSX Venture Exchange, has shifted its focus from Bitcoin mining to managing data centers, aiming to increase its Bitcoin holdings per share. 
As mining becomes more challenging due to Bitcoin halving, Cathedra's new approach allows it to generate sustainable cash flow while continuously acquiring more Bitcoin. 
"Going forward, we will make all capital allocation decisions with the intention of maximizing our shareholders' per-share Bitcoin holdings," the company said in a recent statement.
Metaplanet has taken a similar approach, focusing on growing its Bitcoin reserves month over month. 
The company's strategy has led to a 587% increase in its stock value this year, underscoring the market's positive response to this trend. 
CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized that prioritizing Bitcoin holdings has been a key driver of the company's recent success.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/27091545/Benzinga-conference.gif" alt="Benzinga future of digital assets conference" class="wp-image-267246" /></figure>

Why It Matters: These moves reflect a broader shift toward using Bitcoin not only as a hedge against inflation but as a strategic asset to enhance shareholder value.
Companies like MicroStrategy and Cathedra are now leading the charge in what has been described as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40776328/microstrategys-bitcoin-strategy-has-outperformed-every-s-p-500-company-and-even-nvidia-sin">"maximize Bitcoin per share" strategy</a>.
This approach focuses on increasing Bitcoin reserves over time, leveraging the cryptocurrency's long-term growth potential.
MicroStrategy has further diversified its strategy by offering convertible bonds backed by Bitcoin collateral. 
These financial instruments, which offer a 1% interest rate, have attracted investors seeking lower-risk exposure to Bitcoin. 
"We're capturing a 50% premium or 50% type BTC yield on that up front," Saylor said, explaining how the bonds allow the company to acquire more Bitcoin while minimizing volatility.
The success of MicroStrategy's strategy has been hard to ignore. 
Since the company adopted Bitcoin in 2020, it has outperformed every company in the S&amp;P 500, achieving an average annual return of 44%. 
Saylor highlighted that even Nvidia, the index's top-performing stock, has been outpaced by MicroStrategy's Bitcoin-focused approach.
However, the strategy is not without risks. 
With mixed technical signals, including a bearish Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and a neutral Relative Strength Index (RSI), MicroStrategy's stock could face near-term volatility. 
The company's long-term success will depend on the broader adoption of Bitcoin and the potential for Bitcoin ETFs, which could bring the cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40899629/microstrategy-doubles-down-on-bitcoin-can-the-stock-sustain-its-rally">further into the financial mainstream.</a>

Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) shares are trading higher by 2.57% to $40.64 Thursday morning. Major indexes and several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40937291/bank-stocks-hit-inflection-point-after-feds-50-basis-point-cut-analyst-reveal-top-p">bank stocks</a> are higher after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points.
Why This Matters: Bank of America, like other large banks, generates a significant portion of its income through its net interest margin, which is the difference between the interest it earns on loans and the interest it pays on deposits. 
While a rate cut might initially lower the income from loans, lower rates can stimulate borrowing, potentially increasing loan demand. BofA could capitalize on this with higher volumes of loans, boosting overall interest income despite the lower rates.
As a major lender, BofA stands to benefit from increased loan origination, particularly in mortgage lending, personal loans and corporate financing. This could improve the company&#8217;s loan portfolio and revenue streams.

What Else: With rate cuts, consumers may also be more inclined to refinance existing debt or take on new debt at favorable rates. BofA could see increased activity in its consumer banking division, including mortgages, auto loans and credit cards. 
Increased consumer spending could also drive higher transaction volumes, which would benefit its wealth management and transaction services divisions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy BAC Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Bank of America&#8217;s case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, BAC has a 52-week high of $44.44 and a 52-week low of $24.96.

The process behind top-shelf cheeses, aged meats, reserved wines and premium cannabis all relies on one thing: precise control of time, temperature and moisture. Whether aging cheddar or curing cannabis, the science of preservation unlocks quality. 
Nested in Vermont, Cannatrol is a family-owned venture that applies these same principles to cannabis drying, boosting growers&#8217; profits by reducing labor, product loss and inefficiencies. By minimizing touch points and preserving valuable terpenes, the system helps growers maintain potency and quality, ensuring profits don't evaporate in postharvest handling.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Problem, The Solution And The Market Need</h2>
Founded by Jane and David Sandelman, Cannatrol is transforming postharvest cannabis processing with its innovative drying and curing technology.
David, an inventor with a background in energy and temperature controls, saw a common problem facing cheesemakers: the difficulty of achieving precise aging conditions without access to traditional cheese caves.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="894" height="1024" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/18190019/Bethany-Farm-New-Logo-1-894x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-555103" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/18190019/Bethany-Farm-New-Logo-1-894x1024.jpg 894w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/18190019/Bethany-Farm-New-Logo-1-262x300.jpg 262w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/18190019/Bethany-Farm-New-Logo-1-768x880.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/18190019/Bethany-Farm-New-Logo-1.jpg 943w" sizes="(max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Cannatrol</figcaption></figure>
Using his experience in temperature control, David developed a method to manage vapor pressure in these environments. When cannabis began its path toward legalization, it became clear that this same technology could be adapted for drying and curing cannabis flowers.
"The physics of drying cheese and cannabis are remarkably similar," David explained. "Both require precise moisture and temperature control to preserve quality, whether you're producing a fine cheese or top-shelf cannabis."&nbsp;
Unlike conventional drying methods that rely on air conditioners and dehumidifiers, Cannatrol ensures there are no fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels are stable throughout the process, drying evenly and consistently. 
"Minimal variations in airflow, temperature and humidity can damage the glands that cover the flower. These glands known as trichomes, host cannabinoids and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/38626097/why-does-tangie-smell-so-fruity-because-non-terpene-compounds-include-guava-papaya-and-passionfru">terpenes</a>, and give the flower its quality and potency. These represent the true value in premium cannabis," David noted.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tech For Top-Line Revenue&nbsp;</h3>
At the core of Cannatrol's success is its patented approach to controlling temperature and dew point independently, which allows for pinpoint control of vapor pressure. "We're not just controlling humidity," David emphasized. "We're controlling the entire environment, down to the molecular level."
This precise control leads to a significantly better product. Research conducted in partnership with the Cannabis Research Coalition found that flowers dried using Cannatrol's technology retained 17% more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/10/35472080/is-there-untapped-business-potential-beyond-terpenes-in-exotic-cannabis-new-study-sheds-light">terpenes</a> than cannabis dried with conventional methods.&nbsp;
Additionally, damage to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/04/31806591/what-are-cannabis-trichomes-and-whats-their-importance">trichome heads</a>—a key factor in cannabis potency—was reduced to just 1–2%, compared to 25–35% with air conditioners and dehumidifiers​.
David explained: "The trichomes are where all the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/12/36394288/cannabis-2024-experts-weigh-in-what-to-expect-from-dc-and-business-outlook-exciting-point-in-tim">valuable cannabinoids</a> and terpenes are stored, so any damage directly affects the product's quality and potency. By preserving more of the trichomes, growers not only improve the overall quality of their cannabis but also protect their top-line revenue."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Modular Features&nbsp;</h3>
The technology itself is adaptable, with options ranging from a consumer-grade unit the size of a dorm fridge to large-scale commercial systems capable of handling up to 720 pounds of wet flowers. "Our units are turnkey," said Jane, who leads Cannatrol's marketing efforts. "They're designed for easy setup, whether it's a home grower or a large commercial operation."
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="525" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/18190046/Old-Growth-Project-Page-Pictures-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-555104" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/18190046/Old-Growth-Project-Page-Pictures-1.png 700w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/18190046/Old-Growth-Project-Page-Pictures-1-300x225.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Cannatrol</figcaption></figure>
What sets Cannatrol apart is the elimination of manual labor and guesswork. Traditional drying rooms require constant monitoring to prevent over-drying or mold growth, which can lead to product loss and reduced shelf life. Cannatrol's systems remove these risks. "Once the flower is in our system, it doesn't need to be moved or checked," Jane noted. "You don't risk over-drying and the flower is ready to be stored or consumed directly from the unit."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Business Advantage: Cutting Costs And Boosting Quality</h3>
David highlighted the financial impact of investing in postharvest processes: "Facilities using conventional methods can lose as much as 5% of their revenue by overdrying their flower and volatilizing terpenes. That's throwing money out the door. We're not just helping growers save money—we're helping them build a brand based on consistent, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40886620/how-this-former-dea-consultant-is-making-craft-cannabis-profitable-in-new-jersey-a-dirt-y-little">high-quality flowers</a>."
Moreover, Cannatrol's systems allow growers to maintain shelf stability for a longer time, which is critical for brands looking to differentiate themselves in a crowded market. "We've had clients tell us that our system has led to longer-lasting products on dispensary shelves, which ultimately translates to better consumer satisfaction," Jane added.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Entrepreneurial Spirit And Innovation</h3>
At the heart of Cannatrol's success is the Sandelmans&#8217; drive to solve problems with technical innovation. Their journey from Vermont restaurateurs to cannabis industry pioneers is a testament to the power of engineering and invention.&nbsp;
"We didn't set out to revolutionize cannabis drying," David reflected. "We saw a problem, and we came up with a solution. The cannabis industry was just the next frontier."
For the Sandelmans, it's not just about profit margins or flashy new technology: it's about crafting solutions that work. "Our focus has always been on creating the best product possible," Jane said. "If you're solving a problem and making something better, the business success will follow."
With thousands of units sold across 16 countries and growing demand from large-scale commercial operations, the Sandelmans' vision is expanding rapidly—and they're showing no signs of slowing down.
