Bitcoin rally could revive treasury buying, but easy-money days over
βA return to last yearβs indiscriminate capital raising looks unlikely,β said Bitfinex head of derivatives Jag Kooner. Corporate Bitcoin purchases could accelerate toward the end of 2026 and into 2027 if the cryptocurrency rallies, but investors are likely to be more selective about which treasury companies they finance, according to analysts. Speaking to Cointelegraph, Bitwise head of research Ryan Rasmussen said there was a broad slowdown in Bitcoin treasury buying in Q3.

βKids donβt need to memorize their multiplication tables,β Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argued in a podcast conversation with Ezra Klein, framing Generation Alphaβs AI dependence as a feature, not a bug.
