This strategic move, approved by the company’s Board of Directors, underscores Heritage’s commitment to innovation and financial diversification. It was led by the firm’s Technology and Cryptocurrency Committee, chaired by digital payments expert Matt Swann, who brings decades of experience at the intersection of fintech and commerce.

Crucially, the policy distinguishes between the roles of each cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is regarded as a long-term store of value, while Dogecoin is seen as a practical, community-backed payment method. With tens of millions of Americans reportedly holding Bitcoin and Dogecoin, Heritage views this adoption as a timely alignment with shifting consumer behaviour and digital payment trends.

Further reinforcing the company’s forward-thinking approach, Swann called the decision a natural evolution.

“A new era of commerce is unfolding. Cryptocurrencies are reducing friction in transactions and empowering consumers. Heritage is stepping confidently into that future,”

he noted.

Building on this, CEO Justin Stiefel emphasized the financial logic behind the move. He explained that Heritage’s existing product margins offer a natural hedge against crypto price volatility, enabling the company to accept digital payments without exposing itself to undue financial risk.

In a separate statement, the company confirmed that its board had formally approved a Bitcoin Treasury Policy Statement to accept Bitcoin as payment for products and services through its direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform and hold the cryptocurrency as a strategic asset. The company highlighted that its ability to produce goods at a lower cost than retail value provides a buffer against Bitcoin’s price volatility.
