Australian crypto investment firm DigitalX has successfully secured $13.5 million in strategic funding from leading players in the digital asset space, including Animoca Brands, UTXO Management, and key figures such as the CEO of Metaplanet.
The majority of this funding — approximately $12.9 million — will be directly used to expand the company’s Bitcoin reserves, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Bitcoin as the core of its treasury strategy. The remaining capital is earmarked for operational expenses and offering costs.
“This funding round is a major inflection point, reaffirming our belief in Bitcoin as the anchor of DigitalX’s digital asset vision,” the company stated in a press release.
New Strategic Advisors Join the DigitalX Team
As part of this funding round, Yat Siu, Co-founder of Animoca Brands, and Hervé Larren, CEO of Airvey.io, will join the DigitalX advisory board, bringing deep Web3 and crypto expertise to the company.
Investment Terms and Share Structure
The strategic placement offered shares at A$0.074 ($0.048), with investors receiving one warrant per two shares, exercisable at A$0.15 ($0.10) within 18 months of issuance — an attractive deal reflecting confidence in DigitalX’s growth trajectory.
Bitcoin Treasury Trend Gains Global Momentum
This move follows a broader trend in the corporate world, where companies like Metaplanet and Michael Saylor’s Strategy have embraced Bitcoin treasury strategies. In addition, President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance continues to boost confidence among institutional and retail investors alike.
Notably, the round also includes CEOs of publicly traded companies, including Simon Gerovich of Metaplanet, further signaling institutional trust in Bitcoin-focused strategies.
