NAPLES, FL – August 28, 2025 – 9:30 AM Eastern Time –As the summer winds down, one market segment is starting to grab serious attention: digital asset treasuries. Public companies are increasingly adding cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana to their balance sheets as part of long-term strategies. What was once seen as a fringe experiment is now scaling, with corporate treasuries already holding more than 30 billion dollars in digital assets, including over 791,000 Bitcoin and 1.3 million Ethereum. A recent EY survey found that 83 percent of institutional investors plan to increase their crypto exposure in 2025, signaling growing appetite for this strategy.
The broader outlook supports this trend. Analysts project global digital asset revenues could surpass 100 billion dollars by 2027, with nearly one billion users expected worldwide. The sector carries risk, but momentum is undeniable.
Let’s look at five stocks turning crypto strategies into shareholder opportunities.
VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ: VVPR) is in the middle of a bold transformation that has the potential to reshape its future and create a new model for digital asset exposure on the Nasdaq. The company, historically known for its sustainable energy solutions through subsidiaries Tembo and Caret Digital, is now repositioning itself as the first listed enterprise focused on XRP digital assets. This pivot combines the long-term holding of XRP tokens with the direct acquisition of Ripple Labs equity, making VivoPower the only publicly traded U.S. company offering investors exposure to both Ripple and XRP.
The latest development adds further momentum to this transition. On August 27, VivoPower announced an expanded partnership with Crypto.com, unveiling a shareholder benefits program that offers eligible shareholders a $100 XRP bonus when registering as new users on the platform. With Crypto.com already serving more than 150 million users worldwide, this initiative not only incentivizes investor engagement but also signals a deepening of VivoPower’s role in the growing XRP ecosystem.
This builds on earlier news from August 8, when VivoPower disclosed plans to acquire an initial $100 million of Ripple shares. Ripple remains the largest holder of XRP tokens, with 41 billion valued at approximately $135 billion. VivoPower’s purchase price implies an average XRP acquisition cost of about $0.47 per token, representing what management has described as up to an 86 percent discount compared with acquiring tokens directly on the market. Kevin Chin, Executive Chairman and CEO, explained, “The opportunity to acquire Ripple shares and materially average down the acquisition price per XRP is in line with our objective of building a sustainable long-term treasury model that translates into substantial potential upside for shareholders.”
In parallel, VivoPower continues to advance the value of its traditional businesses. Its Tembo subsidiary, focused on ruggedized electric vehicles, has secured a $200 million enterprise value investment from Energi Holdings through a SPAC transaction with Cactus Acquisition Corp 1. Energi will take a 51 percent stake, while VivoPower retains significant ownership in Tembo. This deal could position Tembo as a publicly traded entity in its own right and highlights the underlying asset value within the company beyond its digital treasury strategy.
Financially, VivoPower is also making progress. In July, the company reduced debt obligations by $7.5 million through share-based settlements with lenders, suppliers, and directors. These measures strengthen the balance sheet and demonstrate management’s commitment to preparing the company for its next phase of growth.
Altogether, VivoPower now combines a unique digital asset treasury anchored in Ripple exposure with tangible progress in its electric vehicle business. The shareholder partnership with Crypto.com highlights the immediacy of its XRP strategy, while the Tembo SPAC transaction underscores its capacity to create value in parallel markets. For investors seeking both differentiated blockchain exposure and real-world electrification assets, VVPR represents a rare and potentially compelling opportunity.
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ: DJT) has been drawing attention once again as it shifts toward a new strategic direction that blends its media identity with an ambitious digital asset treasury plan. The company, best known for its Truth Social platform, is now positioning itself to hold significant reserves of cryptocurrency in partnership with Crypto.com, a global exchange that serves more than 150 million users.
On August 26, Trump Media announced plans to purchase approximately $105 million worth of Cronos (CRO) tokens, the native asset of the Crypto.com ecosystem. In return, Crypto.com will commit $50 million toward DJT stock, cementing an alignment of interests between the two companies. Beyond this exchange of capital, the collaboration also includes the formation of a dedicated treasury vehicle that would be taken public through a SPAC listing under the ticker MCGA. This new entity is designed to deploy a mix of CRO tokens, cash, and financial instruments in order to build long-term digital asset reserves.
The strategy resembles the treasury-style plays adopted by certain other public companies that have chosen to hold digital assets as a core part of their balance sheets. While the move introduces exposure to the highly volatile world of crypto, it also gives DJT a chance to differentiate itself in a crowded media landscape and potentially attract a new investor base focused on blockchain adoption.
It is worth noting that Trump Media has historically generated minimal revenues and continues to operate at a loss, which places additional pressure on the success of this pivot. Still, for investors comfortable with volatility, DJT offers a speculative avenue into the intersection of digital assets and social media platforms.
Upexi, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPXI) is positioning itself as a pioneering force in the digital asset space, focusing on Solana (SOL) as a core component of its treasury strategy. The company recently released a comprehensive investor presentation detailing its approach to building a Solana-based treasury portfolio, aiming to enhance shareholder value through strategic digital asset management.
In April 2025, Upexi secured a $100 million private placement, priced at $2.28 per share, to fund its cryptocurrency initiatives. The majority of these funds are earmarked for accumulating Solana tokens, with a portion allocated to working capital and debt reduction.
The company’s strategy involves acquiring Solana at a discount to its market price, with plans to stake these holdings to generate yield. As of May 2025, Upexi had accumulated approximately 597,000 SOL, valued at over $102 million, and began receiving staking rewards.
To support its digital asset operations, Upexi has partnered with BitGo, a leading digital asset custodian, ensuring secure storage and management of its crypto holdings. Additionally, the company has appointed Brian Rudick, CFA, as Chief Strategy Officer to oversee its cryptocurrency strategy and enhance investor relations.
Allan Marshall, CEO of Upexi, commented, “This is the most in-depth overview that we’ve provided to our shareholders on our Solana treasury roadmap to date. With a comprehensive strategy that resonates with crypto and traditional investors alike and a detailed execution plan, we are confident in our ability to execute and bring value to our shareholders.”
Brian Rudick, Chief Strategy Officer, stated, “We believe strongly that digital asset treasury companies create tremendous value for shareholders and offer additional value accrual mechanisms not available via other means such as native tokens or ETFs. As one of the first Solana treasury companies and with a $100 million raise from leading digital asset venture capital firms, Upexi is exceptionally well positioned to win. We are excited to tell our story.”
Upexi’s entry into the digital asset space reflects a strategic diversification from its core business of developing and distributing consumer products. By integrating cryptocurrency into its financial operations, Upexi aims to leverage the potential of blockchain technology and digital assets to drive long-term growth and shareholder value.
BitMine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR) has quickly become a leading institutional player in the digital asset sector, with a strategic focus on Ethereum (ETH). The company holds over 1.7 million ETH, making it the largest corporate Ethereum treasury and the second-largest cryptocurrency treasury globally after MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings.
In June 2025, BitMine executed a $250 million private placement to fund its Ethereum acquisition strategy, demonstrating a disciplined approach to building a large-scale crypto treasury. Alongside ETH, the company also holds 192 BTC and $562 million in unencumbered cash, providing liquidity and flexibility to capitalize on market opportunities.
Institutional support has been strong, with investors including Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest, Pantera Capital, and Galaxy Digital participating. The company has also strengthened its governance by appointing Thomas Lee, founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, to the board.
Despite its impressive asset base, BitMine remains a high-risk, high-reward investment. Its market capitalization is approximately $6.3 billion, and the company reports negative earnings per share of -$2.89. BitMine’s performance is closely tied to Ethereum market dynamics, making it a targeted play for investors seeking exposure to institutional cryptocurrency holdings.
SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBET) is a performance-based marketing company serving the U.S. sports betting and global iGaming industries. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, SharpLink operates PAS.net, its iGaming affiliate marketing network, and a portfolio of state-specific websites that drive qualified traffic and player acquisitions to licensed operator partners.
In May 2025, SharpLink announced a private investment in public equity (PIPE) for 69,100,313 shares of common stock at $6.15 per share ($6.72 per share for certain management), expected to raise approximately $425 million before fees and expenses. The offering was led by Consensys Software Inc. and included participation from leading crypto venture capital firms and infrastructure providers such as ParaFi Capital, Electric Capital, Pantera Capital, Arrington Capital, Galaxy Digital, and others, alongside SharpLink’s CEO Rob Phythian and CFO Robert DeLucia.
Proceeds will fund the acquisition of Ethereum (ETH), which will serve as SharpLink’s primary treasury reserve asset, as well as working capital and general corporate purposes. This represents a strategic expansion beyond SharpLink’s core marketing business, integrating cryptocurrency into its financial operations.
Rob Phythian, Founder and CEO of SharpLink, stated, “This is a significant milestone in SharpLink’s journey and marks an expansion beyond our core business. On closing, we look forward to working with Consensys and welcoming Joseph to the Board.”
Joseph Lubin, Founder and CEO of Consensys and Co-Founder of Ethereum, added, “On close, Consensys looks forward to partnering with SharpLink to explore and develop an Ethereum Treasury Strategy and to work with them in their core business as a strategic advisor. This is an exciting time for the Ethereum community, and I am delighted to work with Rob and the team to bring the Ethereum opportunity to public markets.”
With strong backing from leading crypto investors and the strategic guidance of Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, SharpLink is positioned to integrate cryptocurrency into its operations while continuing to drive growth in its core iGaming marketing business.
