Wall Street Big Short Warning: Corporate Bitcoin Treasury Fad Replaying SPAC-Style Bubble Risk

BlockBeats News, July 18th, according to DL News, Wall Street's renowned short seller Jim Chanos has now sounded the alarm on the hot trend of corporate Bitcoin treasuries. Chanos likened it to the 2021 SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) frenzy — where $90 billion was raised in just three months, only to end in a brutal collapse.

But this time, the difference is — it is public companies buying Bitcoin through issuing convertible bonds and preferred shares, without engaging in any other substantive business.

「What we are seeing now in the Bitcoin treasury market is very reminiscent of the 2021 SPAC craziness,」 Chanos said this week on a podcast, 「Almost every day, there are quite significant announcements — 'billions and billions every night.'」
