feels like one of those things that most retail holders will ignore, but something that large corporate holders really value.
i wonder if any large companies have decided not to hold bitcoin on their balance sheet in the past for this reason.
My guess as to whether this was a major factor for NOT holding bitcoin on the balance sheet that this isn't a major reason. Now, once bitcoin is more understood by businesses then this would be a barrier but I don't think even 1% of businesses have even considered bitcoin.
