Bitcoin News Today: Nativo Resources Adopts Bitcoin Treasury Policy to Diversify Reserves and Hedge Inflation with Gold

Nativo Resources Plc, a London-listed gold mining company, has announced the establishment of a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury policy effective July 2025, marking a strategic shift to diversify its financial reserves. The initiative, endorsed by the company’s board, will allocate portions of free cash flow from mining operations and future fundraising to Bitcoin purchases. This move aligns with the firm’s plan to restart gold production at the Tesoro Gold Concession in Peru, which is expected to generate additional cash flow for the Bitcoin treasury [1].

The policy aims to pair Bitcoin’s fixed supply model with gold’s inflation-hedging properties, creating a dual-asset approach to future-proof the company’s treasury. Christian Yates, Executive Chair of Nativo Resources, emphasized that the integration of Bitcoin alongside traditional gold operations reflects a proactive strategy to navigate evolving financial markets. “Nativo is, first and foremost, a mining company. However, in today’s evolving financial landscape, exposure to both gold and Bitcoin allows us to future-proof our treasury,” Yates stated [2].

While the company has not disclosed a specific allocation percentage for Bitcoin, analysts highlight the potential for enhanced financial flexibility. By converting cash flow into Bitcoin, Nativo may mitigate currency risks in regions with inflationary pressures, leveraging the digital asset’s decentralized nature as a complementary hedge [3]. However, critics have raised concerns about the volatility of Bitcoin compared to gold’s relative stability, questioning the long-term viability of such a strategy. Nativo’s management defended the decision as a calculated diversification, framing Bitcoin as a “digital hedge” in an inflationary environment [4].

Industry reactions remain cautiously optimistic. The announcement has not yet triggered significant market volatility or regulatory scrutiny from authorities like the FCA or SEC. Historically, similar corporate Bitcoin treasury policies have influenced institutional interest and BTC price movements, though Nativo’s initiative has drawn less public commentary from crypto leaders compared to earlier adoptions [5]. The company’s regulatory filings confirm compliance with UK financial standards, but the extent of investor sentiment shifts and sector-wide adoption remains to be seen.

The timing of the policy aligns with a broader trend of mining and commodity firms exploring Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. For Nativo, the integration of digital assets may enhance liquidity, as Bitcoin can be converted to fiat more swiftly than physical gold during market downturns [6]. However, the absence of detailed allocation figures limits immediate analysis of the strategy’s execution. Upcoming developments, including the timeline for Bitcoin purchases and the initiative’s impact on treasury management, will provide further clarity on its effectiveness.
