The year also saw the fourth halving, reducing miner rewards to 3.125 BTC per block, while major companies expanded through mergers and acquisitions.

Heritage Distilling, a Washington-based craft spirits producer, has become the first publicly traded spirits company to accept Bitcoin as payment and hold it as a treasury asset. This decision comes amid financial challenges, with a reported $3.43 million net loss in Q3 2024, raising questions about the company's ability to acquire Bitcoin without a profitability turnaround. The move aligns with a growing trend among US companies adopting Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset, following the lead of MicroStrategy and others.
