Arizona-based real estate firm adopts LINK token treasury strategy, stock jumps 60%
Quick Take Caliber, a real estate asset manager based in Arizona, is establishing a digital asset treasury (DAT) strategy focused on accumulating LINK, the native token to Chainlink’s decentralized network.
Real estate management company Caliber said on Thursday it's adopting a digital asset treasury (DAT) strategy focused on accumulating LINK tokens.
The Scottsdale, Arizona-based firm, which trades on the Nasdaq, said its board of directors approved a plan to use funds to buy cryptocurrency — "specifically LINK tokens" — with equity. Caliber intends to hold LINK "for long-term appreciation and generating yield through staking," according to a statement .
DAT strategies continue to be popular, particularly among smaller-cap Nasdaq stocks like Caliber. The company, with ticker symbol CWD, saw its shares rise over 60% on Thursday, changing hands at $2.90 as of 10:38 a.m. ET, according to Yahoo Finance. Caliber's market cap is about $6.8 million.
In recent weeks, several companies have adopted altcoin DAT strategies with the aim of raising billions of dollars from investors with the hopes of turning a profit. Although the DATs are creating buy-side demand for crypto, some in the digital assets industry have voiced concerns about the trend.
"The Board believes that the adoption of the DAT strategy and DAT Policy can enhance shareholder value while strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and improving liquidity," Caliber said Thursday.
Caliber plans to use an existing ELOC, cash reserves, and an "issuance of equity-based securities" to help fund the new strategy.
Chainlink also made headlines earlier this week when Bitwise Asset Management submitted a preliminary S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a LINK exchange-traded fund.

60% of stocks have fallen into a bear market, the seven tech giants are holding up the S&P alone! BTIG: US stocks may be just a "gentle push" away from collapsing
The S&P 500 is just one step away from its all-time high, but under the surface, turbulence is brewing: 60% of its components have already entered a technical bear market, and only 30% have outperformed the index, the lowest since 1991. All of this is being supported solely by the seven major tech giants—which is, in fact, the biggest risk. With crowded positions and the semiconductor sector mirroring the path of the 2000 bubble burst, an accelerated decline could be triggered during the upcoming earnings season at the end of the month. When the market is standing on just one final leg, it doesn't take much force to topple it.
