Bailey explained that investors are paying closer attention to how each company operates, not just whether it owns Bitcoin. He noted that launching a new treasury business without a distinct strategy is no longer enough to attract interest.
Bailey said the market has matured. He told CNBC:
It’s learning how to evaluate which companies offer something different.
Simply copying what others have done no longer works. He added, “There’s only so much room for businesses doing exactly the same thing”.
He explained that times of market excitement often bring a mix of good and poor-quality companies. To stand out, firms need to take different paths, such as focusing on less-served international regions, targeting specific types of assets, or building businesses that produce steady income.
He also pointed to examples like Michael Saylor’s focus on credit markets as a way companies can offer something new.
