Publicly-traded company GD Culture Group, the 15th-largest corporate Bitcoin treasury holder, has authorized the sale of its entire 7,500 BTC position. The firm plans to use the proceeds, valued at over $500 million, to fund a share repurchase program, marking a potential strategic shift as corporate Bitcoin holdings face pressure from the market’s recent downturn.
GD Culture Group has announced its board authorized the sale or disposition of its entire Bitcoin holdings. This move comes amidst a broader market pullback that has pushed many Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) into significant unrealized losses.
The company intends to use the capital raised to fund a share repurchase program. Some analysts flagged the decision as a potential inflection point for the corporate Bitcoin treasury trade. Others view it as a strategic reset to protect shareholders and stabilize its position.
The decision follows a period of intense volatility for major DATs. MicroStrategy, the largest Bitcoin holder, has seen its stock slide roughly 70% after two consecutive quarters of drawdowns.
GD Culture Group’s stock is trading about 33% below its pre-October crash level. The planned buyback could act as a demand floor for its equity during this period of compressed momentum.
The company’s exit signals current stress across corporate Bitcoin balance sheets. In a risk-off environment, the $500 million buyback is framed as a move to reinforce shareholder value.
Market observers are now watching to see if this move restores institutional confidence. The broader question is whether DATs will pivot back to accumulation if macro conditions shift toward risk-on.
