Blockchain adoption results in the achievement of competitive advantage, sustainable and superior performance, and the creation of new value for customers. Future researchers can gain an understanding of the existing trends and knowledge related to blockchain adoption with a strategic perspective. Specific research questions are framed to advance knowledge in this domain by future researchers. Further, a unique conceptual model a from strategic perspective is proposed, that can serve as a foundation for future empirical and theoretical analysis. Managers and practitioners should consider strategic antecedents associated with blockchain technology adoption to gain a competitive advantage.
