NAPLES, FL – August 28, 2025 – As summer nears its end, a specific market sector is gaining considerable traction: digital currency holdings within corporate financial structures. An increasing number of publicly traded businesses are incorporating cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana into their overall financial strategies. This evolving trend sees what was once considered an innovative experiment becoming increasingly mainstream, with companies now holding over $30 billion in various digital assets, including excess of 791,000 Bitcoin and 1.3 million Ethereum. An in-depth survey by EY recently showed that 83% of institutional investors intend to allocate more capital to digital assets in 2025, revealing a growing interest in this particular strategic method.
Supporting this movement are broader market forecasts. Industry experts predict that worldwide digital asset revenue might exceed $100 billion by 2027, with almost one billion people globally using digital currencies. Although this field involves risk, its rise cannot be denied.
Let’s examine five company stocks leveraging cryptocurrency strategies to potentially boost shareholder returns.
VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ: VVPR) is undergoing a significant transformation that could dramatically change its operations and establish a new approach to digital asset integration on the Nasdaq. Previously recognized for its sustainable energy offerings via Tembo and Caret Digital, the company is now pivoting to become the first publicly traded company with a key focus on XRP digital assets. The business will hold XRP tokens and directly acquire equity in Ripple Labs. This makes VivoPower the only publicly listed U.S.-based company providing investors exposure to both Ripple and XRP.
Recent news is adding to this transition’s momentum. VivoPower revealed an expanded collaboration with Crypto.com on August 27, launching a shareholder rewards program that offers qualified shareholders a $100 XRP bonus when they register on the platform as new users. Given that Crypto.com has over 150 million users around the world, the initiative not only encourages investor participation but also highlights VivoPower’s escalating participation in the broader XRP environment.
This development expands on an announcement made August 8 when VivoPower announced intent to acquire an initial $100 million of Ripple shares. Ripple is the primary holder of XRP, possessing 41 billion tokens with an approximate valuation of $135 billion. The purchase price set by VivoPower suggests an average XRP acquisition cost of about $0.47 per token, representing what management has said is an 86 percent savings compared to buying tokens directly in the market. Kevin Chin, Executive Chairman and CEO, stated, “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.”
At the same time, VivoPower is continuing to improve the value of its core businesses. Tembo, its subsidiary concentrating on ruggedized electric vehicles, has secured a $200 million corporate valuation investment from Energi Holdings through a SPAC transaction with Cactus Acquisition Corp 1. Energi will acquire a 51 percent stake, and VivoPower will retain considerable ownership in Tembo. This agreement could position Tembo as a publicly listed entity and demonstrates the inherent asset value within the company in addition to its digital holdings strategy.
VivoPower is also demonstrating financial progress. In July, the company cut debt by $7.5 million via share-based settlements with lenders, vendors, and directors. These actions bolster the financial health and demonstrate management’s dedication to preparing the company for its future stages of expansion.
Overall, VivoPower blends a singular digital currency reserve concentrated on Ripple holdings with real advancements in its electric vehicle sector. The shareholder partnership with Crypto.com accentuates the immediacy of its XRP strategy, while the Tembo SPAC deal underscores its capacity to create value in parallel markets. VVPR presents a rare and potentially worthwhile opportunity for investors looking for both distinctive blockchain exposure and genuine electric vehicle assets.
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ: DJT) is garnering interest again as it moves toward a revised strategic path that merges its media footprint with an ambitious cryptocurrency reserve plan. The organization, recognized for its Truth Social platform, is strategically positioning itself to possess considerable cryptocurrency reserves in collaboration with Crypto.com, a global exchange platform that serves over 150 million users.
Trump Media disclosed plans on August 26 to acquire about $105 million worth of Cronos (CRO) tokens, the native asset of the Crypto.com environment. Crypto.com will, in exchange, commit $50 million to DJT shares, solidifying a shared interest among the two businesses. Further than the financial exchange, the joint venture includes the establishment of a dedicated treasury instrument intended to go public via a SPAC listing with the ticker MCGA. The purpose of this entity is to allocate CRO tokens, cash, and financial instruments to develop long-term digital holdings.
The strategy is aligned with treasury approaches used by certain other publicly traded companies that have decided to retain cryptocurrency assets as a fundamental aspect of their balance sheets. While this movement incorporates volatility from the crypto realm, it also provides DJT with a chance to distinguish itself in a competitive media marketplace and possibly draw in a new investor group with a focus on blockchain adoption.
Historically, Trump Media has generated negligible revenues and continues to suffer losses, which puts additional stress on the success of this shift. However, DJT offers a speculative entrance point into the fusion of digital assets and social media platforms for investors at ease with volatility.
Upexi, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPXI) is establishing itself as a leader in digital assets, focusing primarily on Solana (SOL) as a key element of its treasury strategy. Upexi recently released a thorough investor presentation outlining its approach to building a Solana-based treasury, in order to boost shareholder worth via careful management of digital assets.
Upexi secured a $100 million private placement in April 2025, at $2.28 per share, to financially support its digital currency ventures. A significant fraction of these funds is earmarked for buying Solana tokens, with a portion allocated for operating capital and debt reduction.
The business’s plan includes buying Solana at a discounted price, with intentions of staking these assets to produce revenue. Upexi has gathered approximately 597,000 SOL, with a value of over $102 million, as of May 2025, and has commenced receiving staking earnings.
Upexi has worked with BitGo, a renowned custodian of digital assets, to enhance its digital currency operations, assuring safe storage and handling of its cryptocurrency holdings. In addition, Brian Rudick, CFA, has been appointed Chief Strategy Officer to oversee its cryptocurrency plan and enhance investor relations.
Allan Marshall, CEO of Upexi, remarked, “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 sector reflects a planned move away from its core business of developing and distributing consumer goods. Upexi intends to benefit from the potential of blockchain technology and digital assets to fuel long-term growth and shareholder value by incorporating digital currency into its financial activities.
BitMine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR) has rapidly become a prominent player in the digital asset industry, strategically concentrating on Ethereum (ETH). The business is the largest corporate Ethereum treasury and the second-largest cryptocurrency treasury globally, holding over 1.7 million ETH, trailing MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings.
BitMine performed a $250 million private placement in June 2025 to financially support its Ethereum purchase strategy, displaying a precise strategy for building a large cryptocurrency treasury. Along with ETH, the firm owns 192 BTC and $562 million in available cash, providing flexibility to leverage market opportunities.
Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest, Pantera Capital, and Galaxy Digital were among the institutional investors who participated. Thomas Lee, the founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, has also been appointed to the board, strengthening the company’s governance.
Despite its remarkable asset base, BitMine is still a high-risk, high-reward investment. The company’s market worth is roughly $6.3 billion, and it reports negative earnings per share of -$2.89. BitMine’s performance is closely related to Ethereum market trends, making it a target for investors seeking exposure to institutional cryptocurrency assets.
SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBET) is a marketing company, operating on a performance basis, serving the U.S. sports betting sector and the global iGaming sector. SharpLink is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and runs PAS.net, its iGaming affiliate marketing network, and a selection of websites customized for each state that funnel qualified traffic and player acquisitions to licensed operator partners.
In May 2025, SharpLink declared a private investment in public equity (PIPE) deal for 69,100,313 shares of common stock at $6.15 per share ($6.72 per share for certain management), to potentially raise around $425 million before costs. Consensys Software Inc. led the offering, which included participation from prominent cryptocurrency venture capital firms and infrastructure providers such as ParaFi Capital, Electric Capital, Pantera Capital, Arrington Capital, Galaxy Digital, and others, along with SharpLink’s CEO Rob Phythian and CFO Robert DeLucia.
The money will go toward buying Ethereum (ETH), which will serve as SharpLink’s primary reserve asset, as well as operating capital and common corporate purposes. This signals a strategic expansion for SharpLink beyond its core marketing business by incorporating cryptocurrency into its financial activities.
Rob Phythian, Founder and CEO of SharpLink, said, “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.”
SharpLink is well-positioned to integrate cryptocurrency into its operations while continuing to drive growth in its iGaming marketing business, thanks to substantial support from leading cryptocurrency investors and strategic guidance from Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin.
