Why AMP bought crypto (with Shane Oliver)

Our recent show on crypto, which was openly sceptical about Bitcoin, triggered a storm of response from listeners who believe Bitcoin is a very worthy asset.
Today, we hear another point of view: AMP recently invested $27m in Bitcoin and that decision has returned around 40 per cent in profits.

In today’s show, we cover…

  • The bull case for Bitcoin from a mainstream investor
  • Must you understand something to invest in it?
  • The widening ‘use case’ for crypto
  • FY 2025 investment wrap – too good to be true?

Shane Oliver, chief economist at AMP joins Associate Editor- Wealth, James Kirby in this episode
