Bahrain’s Al Abraaj Adopts Bitcoin, Boosts Gulf Crypto Adoption

Al Abraaj Restaurants Group’s Bitcoin adoption marks a watershed moment for Middle Eastern corporate crypto acceptance, following the lead of Western firms like MicroStrategy. The Bahraini food sector company’s move reflects both confidence in Bitcoin’s store-of-value proposition and the Gulf region’s accelerating digital asset ambitions. This development comes alongside the Gulf Summit 2025’s discussions on RWA tokenization and follows similar corporate crypto moves globally, including Nasdaq-listed GD Culture Group’s $300 million crypto commitment. The convergence of corporate adoption and regulatory recognition suggests Bitcoin is gaining mainstream traction as an institutional asset class, potentially triggering a regional adoption snowball effect among Gulf corporations reevaluating treasury strategies.
