The board of directors at GD Culture Group (GDC), a company specializing in digital marketing and artificial intelligence, has approved the sale of Bitcoin (BTC) from its corporate treasury. This decision, announced on Wednesday, aims to fund a share buyback initiative. The company had initially decided to build a cryptocurrency reserve in May 2025, acquiring Bitcoin and Official Trump Coin (TRUMP) during that period. However, the latest board approval marks a shift in strategy, allowing the company to sell its BTC holdings in multiple transactions, though there is no obligation for any specific amount to be sold. Earlier this year, GDC introduced a stock buyback program valued at up to $100 million, set to run over a six-month period. Following the board’s announcement, GDC’s stock surged over 24%, closing at $4.13, as reported by Yahoo Finance. This decision comes amidst a broader decline in the cryptocurrency market, which has seen Bitcoin's price fall to around $60,000, a drop of more than 50% from its peak of over $126,000. The downturn has adversely affected companies holding Bitcoin in their treasuries. Back in September 2025, GDC acquired 7,500 BTC through an $875 million purchase of Pallas Capital Holding, with Bitcoin trading between $109,000 and $117,000 at the time. This acquisition led to a 28% drop in GDC's share price. According to BitcoinTreasuries, GDC ranks as the 15th-largest holder of Bitcoin among treasury companies. Despite this, the company has seen a 41% decrease in its BTC investment value. GDC's market standing is measured by its multiple on net asset value (mNAV), which is currently at 0.42. This metric is crucial for Bitcoin treasury companies and is calculated by dividing the company's market capitalization by the dollar value of its Bitcoin holdings. Despite the market's challenges, GDC’s Bitcoin treasury, consisting of 7,500 BTC, is valued at approximately $517.5 million, based on current market prices. This is more than double the company's market capitalization, which is about $236.7 million after the recent rise in stock value.
