Nasdaq-listed Next Technology Holding says its board approved selling or pledging all 5,833 BTC held by the company. It cited the Binance hack and quantum-computing risk as reasons for the decision.
Why it matters
The approval creates a route for the company to dispose of or use its entire reported Bitcoin holding as collateral. The announcement does not specify whether Next Technology plans to sell, pledge, or take either action immediately.
Market impact
Any sale could add corporate-treasury BTC to the market, while a pledge could use the holdings as collateral without an outright sale. The size and timing of any transaction remain unspecified.
