Tim Draper Urges Firms to Hold 5-15% Bitcoin Treasuries, 6 Months for Families
Venture capitalist Tim Draper escalated his Bitcoin advocacy at the Bitcoin 2026 keynote on April 27, urging companies to allocate 5-15% of treasuries to Bitcoin for payroll protection against bank failures like SVB, and families to hold six months of living expenses in BTC as a fiat hedge. This builds on his April 27 Nakamoto Stage warning that not owning Bitcoin is risky, pushing mainstream shifts from dollars to stablecoins to BTC as a store of value. With BTC at $77,368 (down 1.6% over 24 hours, range $76,595-$79,400), Draper's calls reinforce institutional demand narratives and could catalyze positive sentiment and price-supporting flows.
