Four companies listed on the U.S. stock market announced plans to expand their cryptocurrency investments, totaling $844 million (approximately 1.17 trillion won) on the 18th local time. These companies are making digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) a core means of their asset management strategy, accelerating investments in line with the pro-cryptocurrency stance of the Trump administration.
DDC Enterprise, a Hong Kong-based instant food company, took the largest funding approach, announcing three investment contracts totaling $528 million (approximately 734.9 billion won). These funds are set to be used entirely for Bitcoin purchases. Specifically, the investment comprises a $300 million convertible bond, a $200 million credit loan, and a $26 million equity investment.
The investment involved Anson Fund based in Dallas and a venture subsidiary of Animoca Brands. Notably, DDC has officially stated its goal of becoming the "most valuable Bitcoin-holding company in the world". In May 23rd, DDC had previously purchased 21 Bitcoins worth approximately $2.28 million (about 31.7 billion won) in exchange for about 255,000 of its shares.
The company plans to additionally purchase 5,000 Bitcoins over the next three years and believes this funding will be sufficient to achieve that target.
Meanwhile, Fold Holdings, the first listed Bitcoin financial services company in the U.S., also announced a $250 million equity investment contract. Fold stated it would use most of the raised funds to expand its Bitcoin reserves, suggesting an accelerating inflow of institutional investors.
Corporate demand for Bitcoin is expanding again, further accelerating the cryptocurrency market's integration into the mainstream. Especially after the Trump administration indicated its willingness to accept Bitcoin donations and suggested regulatory relaxation, listed companies' Bitcoin investment moves have become more pronounced. This is expected to have a positive impact not only on short-term price increases but also on long-term market capitalization expansion.
