Empery Digital Sells Nearly Half Its Bitcoin Holdings To Fund AI Data Center Push

Empery Digital has offloaded a large chunk of its digital asset holdings as it pivots toward artificial intelligence infrastructure. The firm sold 1,400 bitcoin at roughly $62,200 each, bringing in $87.1 million. The move comes just weeks after the company said it needed $65 million to close a 25% stake in a group acquiring a Midwest facility that will be converted into an AI data center.

Part Of A Broader Trend Among Treasury Firms

The company was one of several hastily assembled SPAC deals that emerged during last year’s digital asset treasury boom. That entire group has struggled since, with most seeing share prices fall by 90% or more from their 2025 peaks. A growing number of these firms are now becoming sellers rather than accumulators of the bitcoin they once rushed to stockpile, a shift some see as part of a broader bottoming process for the crypto market.

What Comes Next

The company still holds 1,514 bitcoin but says it has no plans to buy more, and may sell additional coins to fund future deals. Its co-CEO said the plan going forward is to keep directing capital toward hyperscaler-anchored opportunities.
