Bitcoin Treasury Firm GD Culture Authorizes Sale of 7,500 BTC as Expert Warns Of More ‘Pain’

Bitcoin Treasury company GD Culture Group has approved a plan allowing management to sell digital assets to fund a previously announced stock repurchase program. The decision comes as the company faces sustained market pressure and a prolonged decline in crypto prices in recent months.

GD Culture Advances Bitcoin Treasury Sale Plan

According to a recent press release, GD Culture Group has approved the sale of a part of its 7,500 BTC reserve. The board members have given the executives permission to make a sale at a specific time and for a specific amount. There is no specified amount that must be sold. The program can be changed or stopped at any time, as the firm stated.

GD Culture’s Bitcoin Treasury is currently valued at $513.5 million. The total acquisition cost is $841.5 million. The firm is reporting an unrealized loss of $328.01 million. This is a 39% decrease from the initial purchase price.

GD Culture is a publicly listed firm and is ranked 15th among public Bitcoin treasury firms, just ahead of Galaxy Digital and Trump-backed American Bitcoin. It is worth noting that the directors recently approved a $100 million share repurchase program.

This move aims to boost GDC’s stock price, which is down over 12% year-to-date (YTD) amid Bitcoin’s decline. The crypto stock is notably up over 11%, rallying alongside BTC, which has broken above $68,000.

More Pain To Come For BTC

In an X post, analyst Alex Thorn suggested that the worst Bitcoin pain may already be behind the market, while cautioning that further downside remains possible. According to the analyst, this was based on the proximity of Bitcoin to its 200-week moving average and realized price.

In addition, there was a reference to data indicating that more than half of the coins were underwater. The relative strength index was said to be in line with capitulation levels.

Thorn also indicated that the recovery phase still needs time. The possibility of extended periods of sideways action was indicated. According to the analyst, weakness in equities was highlighted as a factor that would put further pressure on the market. The lack of catalysts and quantum risks were identified as concerns.

Meanwhile, it is worth noting that GD Culture won’t be the first Bitcoin treasury firm to offload its holdings amid this downtrend. As earlier reported by CoinGape, Bitcoin miner Bitdeer stated that it had sold off its entire BTC holdings after mining 189.8 BTC and selling an equivalent amount. The remaining reserves, 943.1 BTC, were also sold off.

At the end of 2025, Bitdeer held approximately 2,000 BTC in reserves. The reserves then fell to 1,530 BTC at the end of January 2026. Later, the reserves fell to 943.1 BTC by February 13th. In another announcement, Bitdeer stated that they had produced 183.4 BTC but sold an equivalent amount of 179.9 BTC. In the last part of last year, Riot Platforms also sold off some of their BTC reserves.
