Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.
Unless IBM wants to get into the finance industry they will be using bitcoins for their ethereum smart contracts.

IBM has always been ahead of the curve.. in the 80's they came up with mainframes that were self diagnosing... if diagnostics identified a potential problem (not a failure) it would contact a technician to perform preventive maintenance.
They recognized the flood of new hardware manufacturers and made a corporate decision to become more focused on software solutions.
It hasn't always led to profits but they hire top minds for researching growth trends.

The underlying question is... will their proprietary systems help improve bitcoin awareness.
