Bit Origin Secures $500M War Chest to Launch Dogecoin Treasury—Corporate Altcoin Gambles Go Mainstream

Another day, another nine-figure crypto bet. Bit Origin just dropped half a billion dollars on Dogecoin—because nothing says 'serious investment strategy' like memecoins hitting corporate balance sheets.

The move signals a dangerous new phase in altcoin adoption. First Tesla, now this? When will CFOs learn that volatility isn't a 'hedge'—it's a rollercoaster with no seatbelts.

Behind the scenes: Treasury teams are scrambling to justify holding speculative assets. 'Diversification' sounds better than 'YOLO' in board meetings, after all.

The real question: Is this visionary asset allocation... or just proof that bull market delirium infects corner offices too?

Treasuries expand to altcoins

Bit Origin’s plan follows a wave of treasury reallocations into non-Bitcoin assets. 

SharpLink Gaming disclosed holdings of 280,706 ethereum (ETH), surpassing the Ethereum Foundation and cementing the sports-betting firm as the largest public ETH holder after a series of treasury purchases this month.

Furthermore, biotech developer Windtree Therapeutics has secured an agreement for up to $200 million to establish a BNB reserve that will support upcoming product launches and tokenized finance initiatives.

On the newer Hyperliquid network, Sonnet BioTherapeutics combined with a partner to form Hyperliquid Strategies Inc., earmarking $583 million in HYPE tokens for balance-sheet deployment.

Bit Origin expects the planned reserve to position it among the largest publicly traded holders of dogecoin once fully deployed. The share sale portion is priced at $10, and the notes convert at undisclosed terms.

The Form 6-K stated that management views Dogecoin’s low fee structure and community-led development model as durable features suited for retail payments at scale.

Bit Origin will disclose Dogecoin purchase details in subsequent SEC filings as funds are deployed.
