BTC Digital Plans $6 Million Ethereum Purchase

BTC Digital Ltd. Plans $6 Million Ethereum Acquisition

BTC Digital Ltd.’s move to allocate funds for Ethereum suggests strategic shifts towards crypto treasury allocations, impacting market sentiments and possibly Ethereum liquidity.

BTC Digital Ltd., headquartered in Singapore, announced plans to raise $6 million through a direct registered offering. The announcement has triggered market attention due to its focus on Ethereum acquisition, marking it as among the few public companies diversifying with ETH assets.

The offering involves 2,000,000 ordinary shares priced at $3.00 each, representing a ~40% discount. Aegis Capital Corp. acts as the exclusive agent with no commentary from company leadership. Existing shareholders face significant dilution post-announcement.

The market reacted with a 14% decline in BTCT shares, reflecting investor unease over dilution and asset selection. This acquisition marks a significant move as companies rarely declare ETH purchases publicly.

BTC Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ: BTCT) … announced that it has entered into definitive agreements in a registered direct offering with institutional investors for the purchase and sale of approximately $6.0 million of the Company’s Ordinary Shares … The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with its existing cash, for the purchase of Ethereum.” – Official company press release, July 15, 2025

This purchase positions BTC Digital within a niche group influencing crypto trends. Historical examples, such as MicroStrategy’s BTC acquisitions, highlight potentially transformative impacts on market dynamics.

The acquisition could lead to broader attention on DeFi protocols tied to Ethereum. No statements from noted crypto figures or the Ethereum Foundation have been released yet regarding this event.

Potential outcomes include financial growth if Ethereum appreciates, with corporate crypto strategies under examination. Historical trends suggest long-term gains for firms that integrate crypto assets into their treasuries.
