Cointelegraph spoke with Riot Platforms’ Pierre Rochard and Metaplanet’s Dylan LeClaire at the Bitcoin Amsterdam 2024 conference.

Cathedra Bitcoin cools off mining to tap MicroStrategy playbook

September 17, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin investment

Cathedra Bitcoin said Bitcoin mining simply hasn’t provided enough shareholder value on a Bitcoin basis over the last three years, which prompted a change in strategy.

Canadian Bitcoin miner Cathedra Bitcoin is taking the gas pedal off its seven-year mining operation in favor of a new strategy: Buying as much Bitcoin as possible in the open market à la MicroStrategy.

In a Sept. 16 “Bitcoin Treasury Strategy Memo,” Cathedra explained its new plan will see “all capital allocation decisions” now geared toward maximizing the firm’s Bitcoin reserves on a per share basis — the “most important” metric for many of its largest shareholders.

“This represents the formalization of a policy we have always held loosely in our minds but have not always allowed to guide our decisions in a disciplined way.”
