Today, it seems that the world of cryptocurrencies has taken that path, with companies now holding Bitcoin in their balance sheets as part of a completely unrelated strategy relative to core operations.

(NYSE: MA), and American Express Company (NYSE: AXP) may be some of the best opportunities today.
