Bitcoin (BTC) is better buy right now: Billionaire Mark Cuban
In a recent exchange on X platform, billionaire Mark Cuban expressed a cautious endorsement of Bitcoin as a good investment while the stock market is experiencing a crash. In his X post from Saturday, April 5, Cuban wrote that in a time of stock market decline, companies may start buying back their own stock at lower prices. One of the commentators responded to this suggestion with "Bullish." Cuban, in turn, replied that while these buybacks will likely take place, Bitcoin is currently the best asset to invest in: "You will eventually be right. But btc is probably a better buy right now." This comment could be a hint that companies should be following Strategy's suit of accumulating Bitcoin with spare cash; this tactic is already being adopted by Metaplanet in Japan.
