Nativo Resources plc (LON:NTVO), a gold-focused mining company, has announced a new Digital Asset Treasury Policy, marking a significant step into the world of crypto. As it prepares to restart operations at the Tesoro Gold Concession in Peru, the company will allocate a portion of its free cash flow and future fundraising proceeds to Bitcoin, positioning it as a long-term treasury reserve asset.

The company believes combining gold and Bitcoin offers a strong hedge against inflation. Bitcoin’s fixed supply, decentralized nature, and low correlation to traditional markets make it a compelling complement to gold. Nativo may also use Bitcoin for transactions with counterparties, boosting financial flexibility, while remaining focused on primary gold mining, ore processing, and recovery from tailings.

To implement this policy securely, Nativo is partnering with Copper dot co for institutional-grade custody and settlement services, and Nemean Services for digital asset security. Executive Chair Christian Yates said the move helps future-proof the company’s treasury, offering long-term value to shareholders in an evolving global economy.
