Caliber Makes Major $6.5 Million Chainlink Token Acquisition

Caliber drops $6.5 million on Chainlink—betting big on oracle dominance as crypto winter thaws.

Strategic Accumulation

This isn't pocket change—it's a calculated move into decentralized data feeds. Chainlink's oracles bridge blockchains with real-world information, and Caliber just bought a serious stake in that infrastructure.

Market Implications

Institutional money keeps flowing into blue-chip altcoins. While traditional finance debates yield curves, crypto players stack links—because someone's gotta price those real-world assets on-chain.

Timing the Bottom—Or Chasing Momentum?

Smart money moves while Wall Street naps. Another day, another fund realizing that maybe—just maybe—crypto's plumbing matters more than another earnings report.

Caliber Becomes a Major LINK Holder

In a press release, the company explained that it bought 278,011 LINK tokens at an average price of $23.38 per token, including all fees and costs. This is the largest purchase Caliber has ever done under this strategy and its second overall. With this, the company now holds LINKs tokens valued at $6.7 million, making it one of the largest publicly traded holders of the token. 

Caliber explained that the funding came from its shelf registration, cash reserves, and equity-based securities.

Meanwhile, the news came just as Chainlink introduced its Chainlink Reserve on August 7, 2025. The Reserve is an on-chain pool of LINK designed to support the project’s growth in the long-term. It is funded through Payment Abstraction, which converts both enterprise and on-chain revenues into LINK before adding them to the pool. According to the public dashboard, Caliber’s LINK balance is now roughly equal to the amount currently held in the Chainlink Reserve.

A Strategy Built on Steady Growth

Chris Loeffler, Chief Executive Officer of Caliber, said the purchase was meant to reflect support for Chainlink’s vision. 

“We intentionally structured this purchase to symbolically align our treasury with the Chainlink Reserve. Our goal is to honor the infrastructure-first vision that Sergey Nazarov and the Chainlink team have consistently executed, and to reinforce our conviction that Chainlink’s oracle platform is foundational to the future of onchain finance. Importantly, this is only the beginning—we intend to continually grow our LINK reserve through disciplined, incremental acquisitions over time, building a material position in a way that is responsible, transparent, and sustainable.” Loeffler said in the press release. 

The DAT Strategy was first announced in August. It is designed around slow and steady purchases of LINK over time. This method WOULD allow the firm to average the price of its token while holding for long term and earning rewards through staking. Over time, Caliber said it wants to hold one of the largest LINK treasuries among public companies.

Caliber is also the first Nasdaq-listed firm to adopt a treasury strategy built on LINK, which offers shareholders direct exposure to the token’s value.
