Crypto Goes Corporate: Why a Fortune 500 Giant May Add Bitcoin to Treasury

Fortune 500 May Soon Bet Big on Bitcoin, Says Ledger Executive

Ledger’s VP Predicts Major Shift in Corporate Bitcoin Adoption

The future of corporate finance may be on the brink of a crypto revolution. According to Sébastien Badault, VP of Enterprise at Ledger, one of the world’s most trusted crypto security firms, a major Fortune 500 company could soon allocate 5% to 10% of its treasury to Bitcoin.

And if that happens, it could spark a new wave of institutional Bitcoin adoption unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Why Corporate Bitcoin Investment Is Gaining Steam

Traditional Finance Is Shifting

Bitcoin has evolved beyond its early image as a risky, speculative asset. Today, it’s being increasingly viewed by major companies and financial institutions as a viable store of value and hedge against inflation.

Ledger’s Badault believes 2025 could mark a major turning point.

“In 2025, there will be a big Fortune 500 company that will put five or ten percent of their treasury in Bitcoin,” he predicts.

If he’s right, this move could legitimize Bitcoin in the eyes of traditional finance and open the floodgates for widespread corporate adoption.

But With Big Bitcoin Bets Comes Big Responsibility

The Problem: One Person Can’t Hold the Keys

According to Badault, large organizations can’t rely on a single person holding the keys to digital assets. That’s where Ledger Enterprise steps in.

To meet the security needs of companies, Ledger developed multi-signature workflows and sharded master key systems.

What Does That Mean

• Multi-signature (multi-sig): Requires multiple authorized parties to approve a transaction. Think of it like needing several managers to sign off on a high-value bank transfer.

• Sharded master keys: These keys are split across multiple secure devices. No single person has full access, making it virtually impossible for one insider to steal or lose the funds.

Together, these features help companies meet both security and compliance requirements.

Ledger Enterprise: The Complete Solution for Institutions

Hardware, Software, and Governance in One

Ledger Enterprise combines secure hardware (the company’s world-renowned Ledger devices), custom software, and a smart governance layer. This setup lets organizations assign roles, permissions, and transaction thresholds in a way that fits their internal controls.

“Our DNA is security,” says Badault. “But enterprises also demand compliance and operational flexibility.”

Ledger gives them both.

More Than Just Security: Services That Enterprises Need

Staking Integration for Passive Rewards

Ledger Enterprise started with staking — allowing businesses to earn passive income from crypto holdings. It integrates with trusted staking providers like Figment and Kiln, so companies can stake safely without handing over custody.

Tradelink: Safe Off-Exchange Trading

One of Ledger’s most innovative tools is Tradelink — a service that allows companies to trade crypto without using centralized exchanges. This removes counterparty risk, which became a major concern after events like the FTX collapse.

“There’s no compromise on security to achieve fluidity,” Badault explained. Tradelink was built based on direct customer feedback.

New Features: Stablecoins, Real-World Assets, and More

Crypto Use Cases Keep Growing

As interest in stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and on/off ramps increases, Ledger is building new features to help institutions tap into these evolving markets — all while staying secure and compliant.

Self-Custody is Key

Unlike custodial solutions where a third party holds your crypto, Ledger remains the only self-custody solution at enterprise scale, where clients hold and shard their own keys.

This means no exchange hacks, no middlemen, and full control.

Onboarding That’s Built for Corporates

Hands-On Support From Start to Finish

Ledger doesn’t just offer software — they provide a full-service onboarding process. Technical and account management teams guide each client through:

• Key generation

• Sharding

• Governance setup

This ensures that security is strong from day one, even as companies scale.

Global Reach and Regulatory Dialogue

Ledger maintains teams in the U.S., Europe, and the Asia-Pacific (APAC), and actively participates in global regulatory discussions, working to protect self-custody rights in an increasingly complex legal landscape.

Big Bets, Big Branding: Ledger Goes Mainstream

NBA Sponsorship Adds Visibility

In a sign of its growing ambition, Ledger recently announced a partnership with the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs, putting its logo directly on player jerseys next season.

This move puts crypto security on the global stage, helping educate the public and increase visibility for its enterprise offerings.

 Ledger Is Building for the Next Wave of Bitcoin Adoption

Ledger’s predictions may seem bold — but they’re grounded in real trends. As Bitcoin becomes more attractive to corporations looking for alternative assets, security and compliance become critical.

With tools like Tradelink, multi-signature governance, and enterprise-grade staking, Ledger is positioning itself as the go-to partner for companies planning to enter the crypto space in a big way.

And if even one major Fortune 500 company moves 10% of its treasury into Bitcoin, it could mark a financial turning point for the entire crypto industry.
