The strategy of incorporating Bitcoin into reserve assets is gaining popularity worldwide. Recently, SOS Ltd. (SOS) listed on the New York Stock Exchange announced it would purchase $50 million worth of Bitcoin, causing its stock price to surge immediately after the announcement. Meanwhile, as Bitcoin's market recognition continues to rise, several domestic listed companies have begun to include Bitcoin in their reserve assets. This strategy not only optimizes the company's asset structure and brings additional revenue but also significantly drives up stock prices.
Announces $50 million Bitcoin investment plan, has been involved in crypto mining for years
On November 27, SOS announced that its board of directors had approved a plan to invest $50 million in Bitcoin. SOS believes this move emphasizes the company's commitment to advancing its blockchain industry and solidifies its long-term belief in Bitcoin as a store of value and strategic asset, further enhancing the company's overall competitiveness and profitability in the digital asset investment field.
After the announcement, SOS's stock price opened at a high of $15.11 before retreating, still achieving a rise of 42.88%. According to official information, SOS provides digital technology services for industries such as emergency rescue, big data marketing, international trade, and digital assets through core technologies like AI, blockchain, satellite communication, and big data, offering clients a one-stop digital solution. Additionally, SOS is a multi-faceted company engaged in Bitcoin, cryptocurrency business, and commodity trading, including cryptocurrency mining, with potential future expansions into cryptocurrency security and insurance.
In fact, SOS has been laying out its crypto mining business for years. For instance, as early as 2020, SOS announced it spent about $20 million to procure 14,238 Bitcoin mining machines and 1,408 Ethereum mining machines, expecting to generate daily revenue of $206,000 at that time. In 2023, SOS announced the launch of over 5,000 self-owned mining machines at its Texas hosting center and has signed a hosting agreement with Bitmain, with a total of 6,000 hosted machines, set to last until August 20, 2025.
Regarding this Bitcoin investment plan, SOS explained in the announcement that Bitcoin has reached a historic high and continues to attract global investor attention. Bitcoin is not only an important component of the digital asset ecosystem but also has the potential to become one of the global strategic reserve assets. Coupled with the positive dynamics in the current cryptocurrency market, including the U.S. policy environment's more favorable stance towards digital assets and major financial institutions' preference for Bitcoin, SOS is committed to delivering long-term value to shareholders and investors through continuous investment and technological innovation while actively supporting the sustainable development of the global digital economy.
To maximize investment returns and reduce market volatility risks, SOS plans to adopt various quantitative trading strategies, including investment, trading, and arbitrage strategies, to help the company achieve stable returns in the current market environment while further optimizing its investment portfolio over time.
