Treasury policy note: when teams “buy crypto” for operations
Practical guidance for finance and operations teams. This content is informational and not investment advice.
Some organizations buy crypto to pay vendors or settle international invoices faster. If that is part of your operating model, treat it like any other treasury instrument: approvals, limits, and documentation.
Separate three questions: (1) why you need crypto, (2) which rail is allowed (exchange, custody, wallet), and (3) what controls prevent misuse.
When people ask “crypto what to buy”, convert it into a policy decision: allowed assets, exposure caps, and a clear process for exceptions.
This is also how you avoid ad-hoc decisions driven by phrases like best coin to invest: operational treasury should prioritize stability and governance.
