The post Carpool and Ride Sharing Company Ryde Adopts Crypto Treasury Model appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Ryde Group, a Singapore-based ride-sharing and carpool platform, similar to Uber or Lyft, said on Wednesday that it has adopted a crypto treasury strategy for its corporate reserve. The company said it will invest a portion of its corporate reserves in Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and Solana (SOL), with specific allocations and purchase timing to be determined by Ryde’s governance team, according to its announcement. Ryde cited the “evolving macroeconomic environment” as the reason for adopting a crypto treasury and said that the option to invest portions of its treasury in digital assets gives the company greater flexibility in managing its treasury operations. Ryde’s crypto assets will be held with a third-party custodian, and the company has established an investment committee responsible for portfolio management and a separate risk management committee responsible for investment safety and regulatory compliance. The company’s NYSE American-traded shares were down more than 13% in early afternoon trading on Thursday, trimming their year-to-date increase of more than 122%, according to Yahoo Finance. Ryde’s stock dropped by about 13% on Thursday. Source: Yahoo Finance Cointelegraph reached out to Ryde about its crypto treasury, but did not receive a response by the time of publication.  The company started accepting BTC as an in-app payment method for users in 2020, and later expanded support to include some altcoins. However, it is unclear if Ryde still accepts crypto as an in-app payment method. Users could convert accepted cryptocurrencies into Ryde tokens via the RydePay wallet to pay for services on the platform. Ryde’s decision to adopt a crypto treasury strategy comes amid a challenging business environment for digital asset treasury companies, squeezed by falling crypto and share prices.  Related: XRP treasury Evernorth files with SEC to list shares on Nasdaq Ryde bucks trend by entering treasury space as the industry…
