History

Historical Context

In 2013, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) classified Bitcoin as property, paving the way for its legal use in transactions. This recognition spurred institutional investments, exemplified by ZOOZ Power Ltd.'s $180 million Bitcoin acquisition. As firms increasingly view cryptocurrencies as hedges against inflation, this shift could significantly influence regulatory compliance and partnerships in the fintech sector.
