Nasdaq-Listed Company to Buy XRP and Bitcoin

As a seasoned researcher with a penchant for both traditional finance and emerging technologies, I find Worksport’s move to incorporate cryptocurrencies into its corporate treasury quite intriguing. Having closely followed the crypto market’s evolution since its inception, I can’t help but marvel at the audacity of companies like Worksport that are not only embracing this new frontier but also venturing into less trodden paths by including altcoins such as XRP.


In a somewhat unexpected step, publicly-traded WorkSport (NASDAQ: WKSP), known for manufacturing tonneau covers, has decided to incorporate cryptocurrency into its corporate holdings.

Apart from Bitcoin, the company also decided to adopt the Ripple-affiliated XRP cryptocurrency. 

Based on a recent decision made by the company’s board, Worksport now has the option to invest up to $5 million in the two previously mentioned digital currencies.

It plans to finance some of its purchases using surplus operational cash, as well as by raising additional funds through future capital increases.

As a forward-thinking crypto investor, I’m excited to note that not only is the company planning to incorporate cryptocurrencies into its financial reserves, but they’ve also unveiled their intention to accept digital currency payments on their official website. This move underscores their commitment to embracing the future of finance.

For the past month, XRP has been generating a lot of buzz due to its remarkable surge, which placed it among the most significant cryptocurrency events of the current year.

Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin surpassed the $100,000 mark for the first time earlier today, with 

Approximately 60 companies have included Bitcoin in their financial records, with MicroStrategy holding the most significant amount. Notably, Michael Saylor’s company has opted against exploring other cryptocurrencies and instead embraces the philosophy, “there’s no substitute for the best.

It is extremely rare for companies to opt for relatively arcane altcoins such as XRP.    

Steadily, the CEO of Worksport, Steven Rossi, views Bitcoin and XRP as dependable forms of storing wealth because they are resistant to inflation.

Beyond its recent price surge, the numerous ongoing applications for U.S. spot XRP Exchange Traded Funds could potentially enhance the attractiveness of XRP for corporate adoptions as well.
