#数字资产市场洞察 British listed companies stepping on the landmine of Bitcoin investment - this hot topic at the beginning of 2025 is worth sorting out.

At the beginning of the year, Bitcoin prices soared, and some digital asset management giants in the United States became highly sought after. This excitement quickly spread to the British Isles. By the peak of the summer market, the valuations of these companies even surged to $127 billion. Seeing such a strong profit effect, local enterprises in the UK could no longer sit idle.

So what are the results? According to relevant media estimates, 13 publicly listed companies in the UK have invested a total of £364 million in this wave of enthusiasm, acquiring nearly 4,300 Bitcoins. The average cost comes down to $113,105 per coin (approximately £85,076).

But the problem arises - the timing of these companies' interventions happens to be when the market is close to its peak. Last Friday, the Bitcoin price was $87,950, down 22% from the average purchase price of these companies. In addition to the extra losses caused by asset liquidations from certain participants in the crypto ecosystem (approximately £40 million), these 13 companies currently have an accumulated unrealized loss of nearly £79.1 million on their Bitcoin-related investments.

This case may provide some inspiration for future entrants: market enthusiasm and investment timing are often two different things.
