Bitcoin Treasury Firm Empery Digital Cuts Its BTC Holdings in Half
Empery Digital, a bitcoin treasury company, has sold roughly half of its BTC stack in a surprising reversal for a firm built around holding crypto.
If you've been following the bitcoin treasury company trend — where firms load up on BTC and hold it as a core asset — you might raise an eyebrow at what Empery Digital just did.

Due diligence on any treasury firm's actual holding behavior matters just as much as their public messaging. Selling half your stack is a big deal when your whole identity is built around being a bitcoin holder.
