Nearly everyone is awaiting the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates and the crypto community is monitoring how Bitcoin's price will react to the much-anticipated announcement.

Traders on Polymarket think there is more than a 90% chance of a rate cut by at least 25 basis points on Sep. 17.

Two Prime founder and CEO Alexander Blume thinks that if the Fed indeed slashes rates, Bitcoin treasury firms could witness a hike in funding via private investment in public equity (PIPE) and convertible debt. Two Prime is an SEC-registered investment advisor that manages Bitcoin assets on behalf of institutional investors.

Blume told TheStreet Roundtable that more money will flow into innovative and riskier investment vehicles in case of a rate cut, which would be a positive development for Bitcoin treasury firms.

"The investors funding PIPEs and convertible debt into these vehicles rely on the ability to cycle through the investments, so the prospect of a continued bull market emboldens them to continue participating as well."

To put it simply, a rate cut translates to more liquidity in the market. As per Blume, investors funneling more money via instruments like convertible debt into Bitcoin treasury firms would essentially be betting on a long Bitcoin bull run.

Blume added, "I suspect a 25bp cut over the next several quarters will be largely constructive for risk assets, including bitcoin."

He contends that high inflation, a stalling labor market, and a weakening dollar strengthen the case for Bitcoin as a trusted reserve asset.

"We’ve seen a flight to safety with gold rallying as of late, and I suspect BTC will follow suit."

As per Kraken's price feed, Bitcoin was trading at $115,767.22, down 0.2% in an hour.
