BTCT Completes $1-Million Strategic Ethereum Reserve

BTC Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ: BTCT), a leading blockchain technology company, today announced that it has established a strategic reserve of $1 million in Ethereum. This milestone marks the first phase of BTCT's broader initiative to deepen its exposure to Ethereum's on–chain financial infrastructure and to position the Company for long–term growth in the emerging digital–asset era."As the stablecoin market continues its explosive growth, Ethereum has emerged as the foundation of on–chain USD settlement and value transfer," said Siguang Peng, CEO of BTCT. "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. This strategic move strengthens our technological edge, enhances market confidence, and optimizes capital deployment."Key Drivers of BTCT's Ethereum Reserve Strategy:• Dominant Stablecoin Infrastructure: Over half of all major stablecoins—including USDT and USDC—operate on Ethereum, making it the centerpiece of decentralized USD issuance and settlement.• High–Volume On–Chain Transactions:Stablecoin activity has pushed Ethereum's on–chain transaction volume to levels approaching traditional financial rails, underscoring its growing importance in global payments and liquidity networks.• Collateral and Security Dynamics: As decentralized finance and real–world asset tokenization expand, increased ETH staking and collateralization will further reduce circulating supply, reinforcing network security and value.BTCT shares raced ahead 53 cents, or 14%, to $4.28.
