The $100 million buyback was announced on February 18. The Bitcoin sales are intended to cover repurchase costs, including brokerage fees and taxes.

Management has been given discretion to carry out the sales across multiple transactions. No specific volume or timeline has been set.

GD Culture Group Limited, GDC

The company can modify or halt the plan at any point. There is no obligation to sell any fixed amount of Bitcoin.

GD Culture got its Bitcoin through a share exchange deal in December 2025, when it acquired 100% of Pallas Capital’s outstanding assets — including the 7,500 BTC — through the issuance of 39.18 million new stock units.

The acquisition was pitched as a move to build out a long-term crypto treasury strategy. It hasn’t played out that way so far.

Sitting on a Deep Loss

GD Culture’s total Bitcoin acquisition cost came in at $841.5 million. At current prices near $67,000 per coin, the holdings are worth roughly $497 million.

That puts the company’s unrealized loss at approximately $344 million — a drop of nearly 41% from what it paid.

GDC ranks as the 15th largest public holder of Bitcoin among listed companies, according to available data.

Stock Down Sharply From Peak

GDC stock is up about 7% on Wednesday, catching a lift from Bitcoin’s modest bounce back above $67,000.

Despite that move, the stock is still down nearly 70% from its September 2025 peak — tracking Bitcoin’s sharp slide from its record high above $126,000.

GD Culture is not alone in rethinking its Bitcoin position. Earlier this week, Bitdeer sold its entire BTC holdings to redirect capital toward AI data centers.

Riot Platforms also reduced its BTC balance late last year.

GD Culture operates through two subsidiaries — AI Catalysis Corp. in the US and Shanghai Xianzhui Technology Co., Ltd. in China. The Nevada-based company rebranded from Code Chain New Continent Limited in January 2023.

The company focuses on AI-driven digital human technology and livestreaming e-commerce.

GDC is listed on the Nasdaq. Its Bitcoin reserve, valued at roughly $497 million, makes it the 15th largest public Bitcoin holder among listed companies.
