The New York-based tonneau cover manufacturer announced Thursday its plans to diversify its treasury holdings, committing up to 10% of future excess cash to cryptocurrency investments. The company will also begin accepting cryptocurrency payments through its website.

Corporate Crypto Treasury Expansion

Worksport CEO Steven Rossi expressed strategic motivations behind the move: “As we expand our product offerings and global reach, cryptocurrency has the potential to be a strong strategic complement.” The company cited inflation hedging and enhanced shareholder returns as primary objectives.

The announcement follows the path established by MicroStrategy, which pioneered corporate Bitcoin adoption in 2020. MicroStrategy currently holds 402,100 Bitcoin valued at $40.5 billion, having transformed from a software company into a “Bitcoin development company.”

Other public companies adopting similar strategies include:

  • Cosmos Health (NASDAQ: COSM): Recently announced plans to acquire Bitcoin and Ethereum
  • Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA): Maintains 9,720 Bitcoin worth approximately $1 billion
  • Various U.S. Bitcoin mining companies including Marathon and Riot

XRP Integration

Notably, Worksport’s strategy includes XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. XRP, developed by Ripple, facilitates cross-border institutional payments through its blockchain technology.

The market responded positively to Worksport’s announcement, with the company’s stock price increasing approximately 9% during Thursday’s trading session.
