Another BTC Mining Firm Moves Into Ethereum Reserve, Hailing ETH as ‘Digital Gold'
Bitcoin mining firm, BTC Digital (BTCT), has moved $1 million of company cash into ether (ETH), which it called its new 'digital gold.' BTCT Moved $1M Into Ethereum Reserve, chief executive officer Siguang Peng said in a press release, adding that 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,' Peng said. BTCT plans to grow the reserve as upgrades lift capacity and U.S. rules solidify. BTC Digital was previously a bitcoin mining company. The firm recently said that "its 20 MW large–scale cryptocurrency mining project in Georgia has reached a significant milestone." The company doesn't state if it still plans to mine bitcoin, but said it is "building on its origins in large–scale crypto mining, BTCT is undergoing a strategic evolution from "hash–rate provider" to "on–chain financial infrastructure participant," in the press release. BTC Digital is the second publicly traded bitcoin miner turning to an ether treasury. Earlier this month Bit Digital (BTBT) shifted its entire treasury from BTC to ETH as it moved to a staking strategy. The move saw its stock jump up to 30%. It has since corrected in a nearly 20% drop. Meanwhile, BTCT's stock closed Friday's trading session 13% higher. Publicly-known ether treasuries, which include the treasuries of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), Layer-2 networks, and publicly-traded firms, currently hold more than 1.34 million ETH, according to a public tracker.

Bitcoin Treasury Corporation Acquires 292 BTC, Prepares for Toronto Trading Debut
Bitcoin Treasury Corp. (BTCT), a provider of institutional lending and liquidity services, said it bought 292.80 bitcoin BTC for C$43 million ($31.6 million), launching an accumulation strategy aimed at building a robust digital asset treasury. The Toronto-based company said it viewed bitcoin as both a long-term reserve asset and a crucial part of its revenue model, planning to use the holdings to support its institutional loans business. With the $125 million raised from a recently completed brokered share offering and any income resulting from the BTC purchase, Bitcoin Treasury aims to deliver institutional-grade services tied to the digital asset economy. It said it will focus on disciplined risk management and creating shareholder value as it positions itself as a leader in bitcoin-backed financial solutions. The company's shares are set to begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on June 30, following its reverse takeover of 2680083 Alberta Ltd. Shares of the merged entity were first listed at C$10 on Thursday with an immediate halt applied by the exchange. Although neither BTCT nor 268 shares were listed previously, the merger is a corporate shortcut that lets BTCT become a public company without a traditional IPO, using 268 as a private shell vehicle set up specifically for this purpose. The offering involved multiple financial institutions including Canaccord Genuity, Stifel, National Bank Financial Markets, BMO Capital Markets, and CIBC Capital Markets.
