Odaily News As Bitcoin prices have experienced a significant correction, publicly listed companies that had accumulated large BTC holdings are facing multiple challenges, including falling stock prices, debt pressures, and a deteriorating financing environment. Some of these companies are now starting to sell Bitcoin, repay debts, and even pivot towards artificial intelligence (AI) data center operations.Strategy pioneered the "Digital Asset Treasury (DAT)" model, continuously purchasing Bitcoin through financing and borrowing, inspiring a wave of other listed companies to follow suit. However, as the BTC price has fallen approximately 50% from its peak of around $126,000 in October 2025, the stock prices of related companies have also shrunk significantly, forcing them to reassess their BTC accumulation strategies.This week, shareholders of London-listed company Satsuma Technology approved the liquidation of all 668 BTC, returning capital to shareholders, while proceeding with delisting. Another London-listed company, The Smarter Web Company, sold 178 BTC to repay its convertible debt.Additionally, Sequans Communications has sold 1,025 BTC and further sold nearly 80% of its remaining holdings to repay convertible bonds. The company stated it will not continue purchasing Bitcoin in the future and plans to sell the remaining approximately 658 BTC.Nakamoto's stock price has fallen approximately 99% since its SPAC listing in May 2025. The company recently sold about 284 BTC, raising approximately $20 million for working capital. Of its remaining approximately 5,342 BTC, nearly 70% has been pledged as collateral for loans from Kraken, which market observers believe poses a potential risk event.Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining companies are also adjusting their strategies. Companies like Bitdeer Technologies and MARA Holdings are selling portions of their BTC to repurchase shares, repay debts, and redirect energy resources and computing infrastructure towards AI data center operations.Other companies selling BTC include Empery Digital. Data shows that Strategy has recently sold approximately 3,620 BTC and has authorized further asset sales to maintain its U.S. dollar reserves.However, Strategy remains the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with holdings exceeding 840,000 BTC. The company's CEO, Michael Saylor, stated that while it may sell some Bitcoin in the future to pay dividends, this does not mean the company is exiting its Bitcoin investment.Beyond asset adjustments, management and capital operations at some Bitcoin treasury companies are also changing. Jack Mallers has stepped down as CEO; and Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), affiliated with Adam Back, failed to complete a proposed merger due to the deteriorating market environment.Analysts believe that with rising financing costs and increased BTC price volatility, the "borrowing to buy Bitcoin" treasury model is undergoing a reshuffle. Some companies are shifting from simply hoard
RBCH, the largest external shareholder of Solana digital asset treasury company Solmate Infrastructure (SLMT), has filed a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against the company's current executives and directors, accusing them of breach of fiduciary duty, misleading statements, and self-dealing.RBCH is associated with Viktor Fischer, founder and CEO of RockawayX, and currently holds approximately 22.74% of the shares in Solmate's parent company, Brera Holdings. The institution led Solmate's $300 million PIPE financing in September 2025 and committed $50 million.The lawsuit alleges that the Solmate board has engaged in multiple actions detrimental to shareholder interests, including selling shares while other investors were still in a lock-up period, signing advisory agreements favoring board-related parties, and directors Ron Sade and Keren Maimon personally purchasing approximately 2.298 million Class B shares at $4.97 per share, resulting in a roughly 20% dilution for shareholders. The plaintiff claims this transaction was illegal.Fischer stated that Solmate's performance has been severely poor, currently trading at approximately a 50% discount to its net asset value, attributing the problem to poor company management and board self-dealing. Solmate currently holds approximately 2 million SOL on its books, and its share price has fallen about 78% year-to-date, making it one of the worst-performing SOL DATs. In comparison, SOL has declined about 50% over the same period.
According to NADA NEWS, ReYuu Japan, a company listed on Japan’s Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, announced that, following mutual consultation, it has terminated the basic agreement with Canadian investment firm Universal Digital Inc. regarding a financing framework of up to USD 100 million (approximately JPY 15 billion). The agreement was originally intended to advance external financing arrangements related to ReYuu Japan’s Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy; however, it was not a formal loan agreement, and neither the financing framework nor any actual borrowing had been finalized prior to termination. ReYuu Japan stated that the capital market environment for publicly listed companies pursuing digital asset treasury strategies has changed, with investors adopting a more cautious stance. The termination does not signify the suspension of its digital asset treasury strategy; rather, the company will continue evaluating the strategy in light of market conditions, financial soundness, and shareholder value.
