Confronted with a drastic downturn in stock value while bitcoin prices have plummeted in recent months, the board approved a $100 million buyback plan earlier this month.

The company’s bitcoin assets are currently valued at around $497 million, based on data from CoinGecko. This figure has declined over time, with GD Culture reporting an unrealized loss of $344 million, which is nearly a 41% drop from its total acquisition expenditure of $841.5 million.

The company acquired its substantial bitcoin holdings through the purchase of Pallas Capital Holding. This acquisition was initially financed by issuing 39.18 million shares.

Other firms have also started to divest their bitcoin assets. Earlier this week, Bitdeer liquidated its entire holdings to transition into AI data centers, while Riot Platforms reduced its BTC inventory late last year.

GDC shares rose by 7% on Wednesday along with a slight recovery in bitcoin prices, surpassing $67,000. Nevertheless, they remain down nearly 70% from their peak in September 2025.
