Bitcoin miners should pay costs in depreciating currency — Ledn exec

Bitcoin mining companies (BTC) should handle their Mines Bitcoin and use it as collateral for Fiat denomination loans to pay operating costs instead of selling BTC and losing the reversal of an asset that miners expect to advance to price, according to John Glover, chief investor investor in Bitcoin Lending Firm.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Glover said pressing BTC brings many benefits including, price appreciation, taxes, and the potential to make excessive income by lending to the BTC held in corporate wealth. The Executive added:

“If you are mine, you are developing all this Bitcoin. You understand the thesis behind Bitcoin and why it is likely to continue to appreciate in the future. You do not want to sell any of your Bitcoin.”

This debt-based approach is similar to companies such as strategy, which releases corporate debt and equity to finance the acquisition of Bitcoin and income from the variations of BTC foundations and the fiat currencies raised by the corporate capital are denominated.
