In corporate finance, inflation is often accepted as an inevitable force. All financial models, investment papers, and capital plans ultimately bend around them. However, the way in which inflation is measured is rarely questioned.
Consumer Price Index (CPI)the world's default inflation gauge measures the price change of baskets of goods in Fiat currency. But here is the problem. Fiat currency is designed to lose value. This means measuring price increases on a scale that is shrinking.
now, Samara Asset Groupexecutive members of Bitcoin for Corporations (BFC) are taking on the tournament.
They've started The world's first Bitcoin consumer price index (BTCCPI)– A bold new benchmark that prices the same CPI basket with Bitcoin instead of Fiat. It is a subtle change with deep meaning. Bitcoin may not be just an asset, but a better measure of value.
The standard that does not melt
Think of CPI as a thermometer. Mercury continues to rise due to not only increasing heat but also breaking scale.
Traditional CPI always faces upwards. Not necessarily because the goods are more valuable, but because the purchasing power of Fiat currency is constantly eroding by inflation policies.
Samara's BTCCPI flips framing over.
By representing the same CPI basket in Bitcoin, the index reflects what happens when measured against a sovereign currency standard with no supply limit. And it's impressive what it reveals. In the long run, prices will be downwards.
BTCCPI does not ignore Bitcoin volatility, but it reconfigures it. Prices fluctuate in short-term windows. However, over a longer time frame, Bitcoin holds far better purchasing power than Fiat.
This is not just a reconstruction of inflation. It's a more honest way to assess whether capital holds its value or is quietly diluted.
What does that mean for the Ministry of Finance?
The Corporate Finance Team thinks from a performance, conservation and predictability perspective. However, conservation is the most difficult to measure, especially in Fiat's terminology.
BTCCPI will provide new tools to new class of Bitcoin finance companies. How to benchmark Real world strength of their financial strategies.
Companies that hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets don't just make speculative bets. It aligns its capital with a structurally deflationary financial system.
This changes the story that can be told to shareholders.
It reinforces the idea that your Treasury will resist, not simply surviving inflation. You are global, neutral and fixed corporate values to a fundamental layer that is non-corrupted.
From that point of view, BTCCPI is more than a chart. It's a signal. A tool to convey value conservation in a world where most assets are quietly eroded.
Why is Samara's movement important?
Many companies talk about inflation. Samara has built a new way of measuring it.
The launch of BTCCPI is not a thought experiment or a marketing stunt. That's Live,>Towards a new benchmark for honest capital
CFOs have always relied on reliable benchmarks: CPI, Libor, 10-year yield, S&P. However, each of them reflects a world built on Fiat's assumptions.
Bitcoin offers something different. A currency system with fixed supply, issuance is transparent, and values are not manipulated by policy or politics.
Samara's BTCCPI was one of the first attempts to use that system. lensit's not just a ledger.
What if you are incorrectly measuring inflation? What happens when the signals we've used to manage capital are inherently distorted?
And what if there was a better benchmark, not just for inflation, but for honest capital?
Thanks to Samara, there is a beginning for the answer.
