Empery Digital sold about half of its Bitcoin holdings, roughly 1,400 BTC, for about $87 million, according to the supplied reports. The company said the sales have taken place since May and are being used to help finance an AI data center deal, legal bills and other expenses.[1][2]

Why the company is selling

One report says Empery Digital sold the Bitcoin to help fuel an AI data center deal, along with legal bills and other costs. Another says the company is effectively moving away from its bitcoin treasury strategy and toward AI data centers, describing the change as a sign of the times for the troubled firm.[1][2]

What is known and what remains unclear

The two supplied reports agree on the broad outline: Empery Digital has sold about half of its BTC stack and is using the proceeds for a new set of needs. They differ mainly in emphasis, with one highlighting immediate financing pressures and the other stressing a strategic pivot away from bitcoin accumulation. The available material does not provide additional detail on the terms of the AI data center deal or the full list of expenses.[1][2]
