user45986: I am a French student in a Business School and currently working on a Bitcoin study.
I have 2 questions to you:

Are there means, for companies or states, to limit or at least to curb on the volatility of Bitcoin?
If not, can a company adopt measures to protect itself from a drastic slump of the Bitcoin price? If so, what are those?


user5406: If the respective Nation or company had immensely deep pockets, they could guarantee the Bitcoin price for some time by erecting immense buy / sell walls on all major exchanges. This is suggested for completeness only, as I suspect that this would be an insanely expensive endeavor.
The correct answer is likely that they should hedge their exposition with futures as is common practice in situations where a company has liabilities in a foreign currency.
