Is this the wrong advice? A friend of mine took over his father's company because he is so old already and he told me about the money thats available doing nothing in the bank.

I told him to think about investing that money if he wants to keep the company growing, I told him about how MicroStrategy is doing so well using Bitcoin as a strong backbone of the company, I believe that even a small company can turn big if they use Bitcoin as their main investment.

Or am I wrong? I need to know if this advice is a good one or a bad one, I gave him this advice because we are very close and also because I will do the same thing if I am in his shoe, this is the best thing i can think of right now.
It's understandable that you want to offer valuable advice to your friend about growing their company's wealth. While investing in assets like Bitcoin can potentially yield significant returns, it's essential to consider factors like risk tolerance, financial goals, and the stability of the investment. Bitcoin's value can be volatile, and investing a large portion of the company's funds in it may expose them to significant fluctuations in value. Encouraging diversification and seeking guidance from financial professionals could help your friend make informed decisions about how to manage and grow their company's wealth effectively.
I really don't like OP's advice even though he has good intentions of wanting to help his friend. In my opinion, using a company's reserves or budget to invest in a highly volatile asset like bitcoin is an unwise idea. Not to mention OP completely does not know the business situation of his friend's company, he should not give such arbitrary advice. Finding a financial advisor is the best solution for both of you and the safest. We are just retail investors, not senior financial advisors and knowledgeable about finance, so we limit giving advice to others.
Of course OP has good intentions, in this economic climate for me is crazy the idea of not buying some bitcoins but at the same time is a difficult suggestion because we don't know how the other person could react when there is a dump. Money is no joke, especially being someone's savings, or even worse, a company's savings.
