Token Cat Limited’s Board Greenlights $1 Billion Crypto Allocation from Cash Reserves
Token Cat Limited just made a billion-dollar bet on digital assets.
Corporate Treasuries Wake Up
The board's decision to shift a cool $1 billion from its cash reserves into selected cryptocurrencies isn't just a headline—it's a seismic signal. Forget dipping a toe; this is a full-scale plunge into the digital asset pool, turning idle balance sheet cash into a strategic portfolio play.
Following the Smart Money
This move mirrors a growing trend among forward-thinking corporates, bypassing traditional asset classes to chase the asymmetric potential of crypto. It's a direct play on blockchain's disruptive thesis, funded straight from the vault. No new capital raised, no debt issued—just a redeployment that speaks louder than any earnings call statement.
The New Reserve Currency?
The allocation targets "selected crypto assets," suggesting a focus on blue-chip protocols and established ecosystems with clear utility. This isn't a gamble on memecoins; it's a calculated endorsement of crypto's infrastructure layer as a legitimate store of value and growth engine. It redefines what 'cash reserve management' can mean in a digital age.
A $1 billion vote of confidence cuts through the regulatory fog and market noise. While traditional finance scrambles to build bridges, some are already moving their treasury across. One cynical take? It's about time corporate finance caught up to where the real yield has been hiding.
Token Cat’s COO is set to lead a major crypto investment
To execute this strategy, the company also appointed Sav Persico, a veteran with three decades of crypto and blockchain experience, as the Chief Operating Officer. Token Cat’s CEO, Guangsheng Liu, said the crypto investment policy is necessary to strengthen the firm’s asset strategy under stable and disciplined leadership.
Deployment of the policy will occur in phases, depending on market conditions, risk evaluation, and capital needs. The initial allocation will target emerging crypto-project tokens with emphasis on sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), “RAW-to-chain” initiatives, and hybrid token-equity models.
Token Cat plans to rely on “highest-tier” external custodians to manage the acquired assets rather than handling them itself. A new Crypto Asset Risk Committee, led by the CFO, will oversee asset allocation, risk management, and update the board regularly.
Token Cat emphasized that these crypto holdings are intended as long-term value reserves in an attempt to improve its financial resilience.
Token Cat installs the crypto reserve playbook
Acquiring crypto as a way to diversify a financial reserve has gained popularity among companies in 2025 due to economic uncertainties and inflation concerns.
Strategy currently holds hundreds of thousands of BTC. VivoPower, an energy-solutions company, recently announced its entrance into digital-asset treasury by raising funds to invest in the cryptocurrency XRP.
SharpLink Gaming changed its strategy in 2025 from focusing on gaming to accumulating ethereum (ETH) as a treasury asset. Rather than just holding the digital assets, SharpLink Gaming stakes much of it for yield.
In November 2025, Token Cat divested loss-making operations and authorized its U.S. subsidiary to explore $500 million in fundraising for investments in next-generation energy infrastructure, particularly nuclear fission intended to power AI computing requirements and high-performance workloads.
Considering Token Cat’s relatively modest market capitalization at $29 million and its declining year-to-date stock, the MOVE to diversify its reserves is bold and can even be considered risky. Investors are so far responding positively, with the announcement sending Token Cat’s share price rising about 4.1%.
