CZ on Decentralized Autonomous Treasury (DAT) Companies: Model Feasible, but Management Team and Execution Capability Are Key
BlockBeats News, December 4th, CZ responded to the question "Recently, Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies have come under significant pressure, and many people are skeptical about the future of DAT companies in the "KOL and Media Interaction" session. Do you think this model is sustainable?" CZ said: "First of all, I think the basic logic of the DAT model is feasible. Its role is to allow those traditional companies, which do not have the ability to directly purchase Bitcoin or crypto assets, to also gain exposure to crypto assets.
Because MicroStrategy has been very successful, everyone wants to imitate it. But the current situation is that different treasuries have different fee structures, and the lower the management fees of DAT, the better. Overall, there is indeed risk in DAT, and the specific risk level largely depends on the management team, organizational structure, and management philosophy. But fundamentally, it is entirely feasible for a publicly traded company to purchase high-quality crypto assets. Holding these assets, they will appreciate. Simply holding Bitcoin has been one of the best strategies in the past 10-15 years, even ahead of 99% of startups and other investment strategies. Therefore, this model is feasible and can create value.
Of course, this still depends on the management team and their philosophy. Sometimes, when a concept becomes overheated, everyone wants to do DAT, resulting in too many treasury companies, some of which will fail, and some may exit early, but those robust treasury companies will continue to grow. In summary: the DAT model is feasible, but the key lies in the management team, structure, management philosophy, and the ability to choose and execute in an overheated environment."
