- BTCT establishes $1 million Ethereum reserve.
- Shares surged 13.33% right after news.
- Aims to grow reserves over $10 million by 2025.
According to CEO Siguang Peng, this strategic move highlights Ethereum as foundational for stablecoin and DeFi operations. BTC Digital plans to expand crypto reserves to over $10 million by 2025, indicating a shift towards blockchain engagements.
Following the establishment of the reserve, BTCT shares soared 20% intraday, before closing with a gain of 13.33%. The company plans to use Ethereum’s potential for yield generation and anticipate network upgrades to enhance valuation.
“As the stablecoin market continues its explosive growth, Ethereum has emerged as the foundation of on–chain USD settlement and value transfer… By securing an initial $1 million ETH reserve today—and with plans to scale that position—we are proactively positioning ourselves for decentralized finance, stablecoin issuance, and asset tokenization.” — Siguang Peng, CEO, BTC Digital Ltd.
The establishment of the reserve aligns with a trend where public firms like MicroStrategy and Tesla integrate crypto assets into treasuries. These strategies often bolster market confidence and momentarily elevate token prices and market caps.
BTC Digital has also announced matching its Ethereum holdings with Bitcoin in July 2025. This move could potentially reduce Ethereum’s circulating supply and reinforce its position as the primary blockchain for DeFi operations.
As Ethereum undergoes upgrades like “Pectra,” and regulatory landscapes improve, firms are more likely to leverage Ethereum for cross-chain applications. Industry observers anticipate these trends will further validate Ethereum’s expanding role in institutional finance.
