European Cryptocurrency investment firm CoinShares has forecast a significant increase in solutions focused on Bitcoin performance by 2025, highlighting a positive change in the way companies use cryptoassets.
It should be noted that Bitcoin is traditionally seen as a store of value, but in recent years it has been increasingly used as an asset that generates returns.
That is why the European firm CoinShares pointed out in an analysis published on Wednesday that more and more companies are interested in strategies that allow them to generate income from their Bitcoin holdings.
According to the report, three main approaches to Bitcoin returns were identified. The first involves measuring Bitcoin growth relative to a company’s shares, allowing companies to evaluate how Bitcoin holdings contribute to shareholder value.
For reference, MicroStrategy has introduced a metric called BTC Yield, which reflects how its Bitcoin acquisitions improve returns for shareholders. Additionally, from January to November 2024, MicroStrategy reported profits of over $16 billion from its holdings of 279,420 BTC.

Additionally, the second approach, “Yield Farming,” is a DeFi investment strategy that generates returns through Bitcoin loans. On the other hand, the third solution highlighted by CoinShares uses derivatives to create income streams from Bitcoin reserves.
According to the firm, these strategies “highlight” efforts to integrate Bitcoin into active financial operations, rather than letting holdings “remain dormant.”
Bitcoin, beyond a store of value, is a tool to generate wealth
On the other hand, the growing acceptance of cryptocurrency payments is also considered a key factor for more companies to incorporate Bitcoin into their treasury reserves during 2025, according to CoinShares.
As a reference, throughout this year 2024, important companies such as “Ferrari”, “AT&T” and “Home Depot” began to accept payments with cryptocurrencies. This, mainly driven by Platforms such as “BitPay” and “Flexa”, which have facilitated this change, allowing a smoother transition for companies exploring the adoption of cryptoassets.
Notably, the CoinShares report suggested that this trend could encourage major players, such as “Amazon,” “Nike,” and “PayPal,” to add Bitcoin to their reserves.
Likewise, technological advances are also contributing to the growing role of Bitcoin in the finances of large corporations. For reference, “Core DAO”’s recent collaboration with cryptocurrency custody company, “BitGo,” introduced important “dual staking” solutions.
It is important to note that the CoinShares forecast also considered recent political events in the United States as a “factor that will positively influence” the cryptocurrency market during 2025.
According to the report, Solana, XRP and Bitcoin stand out as “key growth areas.” In addition, the report also noted that regulatory changes and the changing dynamics of the crypto industry “are shaping Bitcoin’s role in global finance.”
“Governments are also moving to establish Bitcoin reserves, led by US initiatives under Senator Cynthia Lummis and President-elect Trump.” Said in the report, “Jean-Marie Mognetti”, the CEO of CoinShares.
Finally, by 2025, CoinShares anticipates that Bitcoin will not only be a store of value, but also a tool for generating wealth, further consolidating its position in traditional corporate and financial ecosystems.
