Empery Digital has sold a large portion of its Bitcoin holdings as it moves away from a treasury-led strategy and redirects capital toward AI computing and energy infrastructure. The company said it sold 1,400 BTC at an average price of about $62,200, generating roughly $87.1 million in cash.

Bitcoin Sale Reshapes Treasury Position

The transaction reduces, but does not eliminate, Empery Digital’s Bitcoin exposure. After the sale, the company still holds 1,514 BTC, according to the source report. That places it 36th in the global Bitcoin treasury ranking cited in the report.

Alongside its remaining Bitcoin reserves, Empery Digital is reported to hold $73.9 million in cash. Total debt stands at $45 million.

How the Proceeds Will Be Used

The company has outlined several uses for the capital raised from the Bitcoin sale. Of the $87.1 million, $10 million is earmarked for near-term debt repayment. Additional funds are expected to cover legal expenses tied to litigation involving minority shareholders.

Empery Digital also plans to use part of the proceeds to purchase real estate connected to a previously announced property acquisition. According to the source article, that acquisition is tied to data centers intended to support AI computing operations.

Strategic Shift Away From Bitcoin NAV

Management has also signaled a broader change in how it evaluates the business. Empery Digital said it will no longer treat the net asset value of its Bitcoin holdings as its main measure of success.

Instead, the company is shifting its primary focus to AI computing and energy infrastructure. The move suggests Empery Digital is repositioning itself from a business centered on Bitcoin treasury performance toward one built around physical infrastructure and compute-related assets.

Part of a Wider Corporate Reassessment

The sale comes amid a broader pattern described in the source report, which said some public companies are reconsidering crypto-heavy strategies in favor of what it characterized as real-world infrastructure. In Empery Digital’s case, the transition is being financed directly through the reduction of its Bitcoin holdings.

Even after the sale, the company retains a sizable BTC position while also holding substantial cash. That leaves Empery Digital with exposure to Bitcoin, but with management now explicitly prioritizing AI and energy-related infrastructure over Bitcoin NAV as the company’s central performance benchmark.
