DigitalX taps global crypto leaders in A$20M Bitcoin Treasury push

Australian digital asset manager DigitalX has raised A$20.7 million (US$13.5 million) in a fresh round of strategic funding, deepening its commitment to a “Bitcoin-first” approach.

The ASX-listed firm plans to use the funds to grow its Bitcoin treasury, with backing from heavyweight crypto investors like Animoca Brands, UTXO Management, and ParaFi Capital.

DigitalX says it plans to allocate about AU$19.7 million (US$12.8 million) from its recent raise toward boosting its Bitcoin holdings, with the rest going toward offer expenses and general operations.

In addition to the capital raise, DigitalX has bolstered its strategic advisory board with the appointments of Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands, and Hervé Larren, CEO of Airvey.io.

Both bring deep experience in crypto and digital assets, and their involvement is expected to offer valuable insight into Bitcoin strategy and investor relations.

The move further cements DigitalX’s position as a key player in driving institutional crypto adoption in Australia.

Bitcoin-first Treasury approach

DigitalX’s latest move aligns with the playbooks of global Bitcoin champions like MicroStrategy and Japan’s Metaplanet, both known for aggressively stacking Bitcoin.

Since debuting on the ASX in 2014 as a Bitcoin miner, DigitalX has kept Bitcoin as a core asset on its balance sheet.

Right now, it holds 65 BTC directly, along with 881,000 units of its own Bitcoin ETF (BTXX), which translates to roughly 193 BTC.

Altogether, that adds up to a Bitcoin position worth around US$43.3 million.

The placement, priced at A$0.074 (US$0.048) per share and bundled with attached warrants, drew strong interest from both institutional and strategic investors.

Notably, Simon Gerovich, the CEO of Tokyo-listed Metaplanet took part in the round personally.

The support from prominent global crypto players highlights rising institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and points to a broader shift toward regulated, transparent ways to gain exposure to digital assets.

Credibility boost

Interim CEO Demetrios Christou called the investment a “significant milestone,” noting that both the capital and the backing from globally respected Bitcoin advocates will help DigitalX stay focused on its strategy and create long-term value for shareholders.

Meanwhile, Yat Siu described Bitcoin as “the reserve asset of Web3 digital gold,” and pointed to DigitalX as one of the best ways for Australian investors to gain exposure to it.

With this latest funding round, DigitalX isn’t just adding to its Bitcoin holdings, it’s also reinforcing its role as a regulated, ASX-listed bridge for both institutional and retail investors looking to tap into the Bitcoin space.
