Instead of simply buying Ether (ETH) on balance sheets like Saylor does with Bitcoin (BTC), Thiel’s play is to take significant stakes in companies that transform themselves into Ether-treasury vehicles. This method gives him exposure to ETH’s upside while embedding his capital in firms that can rally markets. Read more
