Goodfood ($FOOD), a publicly listed company on the Toronto stock exchange, announced this morning that we have begun building a strategic Bitcoin reserve to strengthen our balance sheet and build long term shareholder value. This is the first announcement of its kind for a non-mining company in Canada.
We are pleased to join the ranks of forward thinking companies, governments and institutions around the world as one of the first 60+ public companies globally to have implemented a Bitcoin treasury strategy.
Iโve been personally active in the Bitcoin ecosystem since 2015, and have witnessed the power of the networkโs growing adoption and resilience over the first 16 years of its history.
Food cost in Canada is at all time highs due to the devaluation of the Canadian dollar which has lost 20%+ purchasing power in the past 5 years and 80%+ in the last 50 years through inflation, fiscal deficits and global economic & political challenges.
Bitcoin is a superior savings technology, and the cost of food in Canada can get exponentially more affordable on a Bitcoin standard.
Thank you to the entire community for your generous advice to help successfully implement our Bitcoin Treasury strategy.
