A growing number of publicly listed companies that adopted Bitcoin and crypto treasury strategies are now reducing exposure, selling holdings, or shifting toward active treasury management. The change reflects pressure from crypto volatility, debt obligations, liquidity needs, and changing business priorities.
Companies Fully Exiting Crypto Treasury Strategies
Several companies have completely abandoned their digital asset accumulation plans, including:
- Satsuma Technology
- Bitdeer
- Sequans Communications
- Genius Group
- Prenetics
- Vaultz Capital
- Alpha Compute
- AEG
- MAIA Biotechnology
These companies have either liquidated their holdings, stopped future crypto purchases, or redirected capital toward other business priorities.
- Satsuma Technology shareholders approved the liquidation of approximately 668 BTC, worth around $43.5 million, with the company planning to return capital to investors and delist from the London Stock Exchange.
- Bitdeer fully liquidated its remaining 943 BTC in February 2026 to help fund its pivot toward AI data centers. Sequans Communications also sold most of its Bitcoin holdings to repay convertible debt and conduct an ADS buyback. The company has said it does not plan to acquire more Bitcoin and is refocusing on its semiconductor business.
- Genius Group liquidated its entire Bitcoin treasury to repay approximately $8.5 million in debt, while Prenetics sold its 510 BTC holdings for $41.3 million and adopted a policy prohibiting future digital asset purchases.
Major Companies Selling Bitcoin Holdings
Some larger Bitcoin treasury firms are not fully exiting crypto but have started selling portions of their holdings, including:
- MARA Holdings
- Empery Digital
- Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy)
MARA Holdings sold around 15,133 BTC worth approximately $1.1 billion to repay convertible debt and reduce financial obligations. Empery Digital reportedly sold nearly half of its Bitcoin holdings to support share buybacks and debt repayment.
Whereas, Strategy also sold around 3,620 BTC worth nearly $138 million and introduced a Bitcoin monetization program to strengthen its dollar reserves and fund preferred stock distributions.
Michael Saylor previously stated, “I never said the company wouldn’t sell its Bitcoin.”
Companies Changing Treasury Strategies
Other firms are moving away from pure accumulation and adopting more flexible approaches, including:
- Nakamoto Inc.
- Smarter Web Company
- Cango
- Exodus
- DigitalX
These companies are using crypto holdings more actively, selling assets when needed for operations, acquisitions, debt repayment, or broader business strategies.
- Nakamoto Inc. sold Bitcoin to fund operations and acquisitions, while Smarter Web Company sold 178 BTC to repay a convertible instrument. Cango also sold Bitcoin as it advanced an AI transformation strategy.
- Exodus has steadily reduced its Ethereum holdings, while DigitalX shifted from pure accumulation toward actively managing its Bitcoin position.
A New Phase for Crypto Treasuries
The trend shows that corporate crypto treasury strategies are becoming more flexible. Companies are no longer treating Bitcoin and digital assets as assets to accumulate forever. Instead, liquidity, debt management, acquisitions, and capital allocation decisions are playing a bigger role in treasury choices.
