OranjeBTC has become the largest holder of Bitcoin treasury in Latin America, currently owning 3,722 bitcoins. This figure makes it the leading company in the region in this field, surpassing other companies adopting a similar strategy.
This move comes amid ongoing instability in local currencies across Latin America, where many countries are suffering from high inflation and declining purchasing power. This situation creates a strong institutional need to turn to assets like Bitcoin as a means of preserving value and protecting investors from fluctuations in traditional currencies.
OrangeBTCS follows a different approach than most Bitcoin vault companies primarily based in North America and Europe. The company focuses on long-term Bitcoin accumulation rather than short-term speculation, committed to balanced budget management.
Sam Cahalan, the company's market research director, noted in a recent statement that the company's large treasury size provides a significant competitive advantage. Large treasuries open doors to new opportunities, such as structuring financial products and derivatives linked to Bitcoin—tools that are not efficiently accessible to smaller companies. Additionally, scale helps provide the liquidity needed to issue Bitcoin-backed securities, enabling the generation of additional revenue through derivative strategies.
Cahalan emphasized that the region suffers from a lack of available options for institutional investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin in a regulatory-compliant manner. He explained that the number of publicly listed vehicles meeting institutional investment requirements is extremely limited in Latin America, which is why OrangeBTCS fills this gap.
The company, headquartered in Brazil and listed on B3 exchange, also focuses on financial education and expanding access to Bitcoin, taking into account the region's unique economic realities. Its geographic choice gives it a competitive edge, addressing real needs arising from chronic currency instability.
In this way, OrangeBTCS represents a significant step toward the next phase of Bitcoin adoption on a geographic level, focusing on institutional capital flows and disciplined budget management rather than speculation alone.
