Nasdaq-Listed GD Culture to Liquidate 7,500-Bitcoin Reserve and Refocus on AI and Livestream E-Commerce

Nasdaq-listed GD Culture, or GDC, primarily operates AI digital-human and livestream e-commerce businesses. It added 7,500 bitcoins to its reserves through the acquisition of Pallas Capital in 2025. With a market capitalization of about $210 million—roughly half its net asset value—the company opted to monetize its digital assets to repurchase shares and signal that its stock was undervalued.

On February 25, 2026, GDC’s board authorized the company to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of its 7,500 bitcoins in tranches. The holdings were valued at about $510 million at the time. Proceeds will fund the share-buyback program of up to $100 million announced on February 18, as well as related fees and taxes. The program runs through August 17. The news sent GDC shares up as much as 24%.

GD Culture Group (Nasdaq: GDC), which operates in digital marketing, AI and livestream e-commerce, decided in May 2025 to establish Bitcoin and TRUMP reserves. It acquired 7,500 Bitcoin through its purchase of Pallas Capital that September. With Bitcoin now trading at nearly half its peak value, the company is turning to its crypto assets to support share buybacks, underscoring a shift in corporate treasury strategy from accumulation to monetization.

On February 25, 2026, GD Culture Group’s board authorized management to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of its 7,500-Bitcoin reserve in tranches, using the proceeds for share repurchases and related expenses. The company announced a buyback program of up to $100 million on February 18, running through August 17. Management will determine the actual scale of the Bitcoin sales and share repurchases based on market conditions and working-capital needs.
