This financial movement causes a direct reduction in the circulating supply available on the open market. Because these assets are integrated into a company’s balance sheet as a long-term value reserve, a large portion of the assets are blocked (i.e., immobile for long periods of time), a factor that accelerates the rate of decline in available supply.
