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 \u201cBitcoin-first\u201d approach.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 Herv\u00e9 Larren, CEO of Airvey.io.<\/p>\n

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

The move further cements DigitalX\u2019s position as a key player in driving institutional crypto adoption in Australia.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin-first Treasury approach<\/h2>\n

DigitalX\u2019s latest move aligns with the playbooks of global Bitcoin champions<\/a> like MicroStrategy and Japan\u2019s Metaplanet, both known for aggressively stacking Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Since debuting on the ASX in 2014 as a Bitcoin miner, DigitalX has kept Bitcoin as a core asset on its balance sheet.<\/p>\n

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

Altogether, that adds up to a Bitcoin position worth around US$43.3 million.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Notably, Simon Gerovich, the CEO of Tokyo-listed Metaplanet took part in the round personally.<\/p>\n

The support from prominent global crypto players<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Credibility boost<\/h2>\n

Interim CEO Demetrios Christou called the investment a \u201csignificant milestone,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Yat Siu described Bitcoin as \u201cthe reserve asset of Web3 digital gold,\u201d and pointed to DigitalX as one of the best ways for Australian investors to gain exposure to it.<\/p>\n

With this latest funding round, DigitalX isn\u2019t just adding to its Bitcoin holdings, it\u2019s also reinforcing its role as a regulated, ASX-listed bridge for both institutional and retail investors looking to tap into the Bitcoin space.<\/p>\n
