Bitcoin News Today: DDC Turns Profit, Aims for 10,000 BTC in 2025

DDC Enterprise Limited (NASDAQ: DDC), a prominent Asian consumer-first company, has made significant strides in Bitcoin treasury management, positioning itself as a key player in the emerging corporate Bitcoin sector. As of August 31, 2025, DDC reported holding 1,008 BTC, achieving a BTC Yield of 1,798% since its first purchase on May 23, 2025. This strategic accumulation is a cornerstone of the company’s broader financial strategy, leveraging Bitcoin as a reserve asset to diversify its portfolio and hedge against macroeconomic uncertainties [2].

The company’s financial performance in the first half of 2025 further underscores its strategic shift. DDC reported a net income of $5.2 million for the six months ending June 30, 2025, a significant turnaround from a net loss of $5.2 million in the same period in 2024. The improvement was driven by cost optimization and a 16.9% year-over-year increase in gross profit, which reached $5.2 million. Additionally, the company recorded a $3.8 million unrealized gain from its digital assets, reflecting the appreciation in Bitcoin’s value [2].

DDC’s Bitcoin treasury strategy has been supported by substantial financing efforts. The company secured $528 million in strategic funding, including a $26 million strategic PIPE investment and a $25 million convertible note with Anson Funds. These resources have enabled DDC to execute nine separate BTC purchases, expanding its holdings to over 1,000 BTC within a few months. Notably, the company has not yet utilized the $500 million universal shelf registration filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), indicating further capacity for capital deployment [2].

The growing trend of corporate Bitcoin acquisitions is not unique to DDC. Similar moves by companies like Metaplanet in Japan and BitMine, led by Tom Lee, have demonstrated the increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Metaplanet, for instance, holds 20,000 BTC, making it the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury in Japan. These developments reflect a broader shift in how corporations view Bitcoin—not just as an investment but as a hedge against inflation and a tool for long-term financial planning [4].

However, the regulatory landscape for corporate Bitcoin holdings remains complex and evolving. In Japan, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) and the Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association (JVCEA) have adopted a disclosure-based regulatory approach, which allows companies to integrate Bitcoin into their treasuries with board approval. This contrasts with the more stringent and fragmented regulatory environment in the United States, where companies face greater compliance challenges. DDC’s strategic moves are therefore not only financially motivated but also aligned with regulatory flexibility that supports corporate innovation [4].

Market reactions to corporate Bitcoin acquisitions highlight the dual nature of investor sentiment. While some companies, like Metaplanet, experienced a 2.62% drop in share price following their Bitcoin announcement, the broader market has shown a growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. Institutional investors, in particular, are showing confidence in Bitcoin’s potential for diversification and returns. As more companies follow DDC’s example, the normalization of Bitcoin in corporate treasuries may continue to gain momentum, reshaping the landscape of institutional finance [4].

DDC’s vision is ambitious: to become one of the world’s top three corporate Bitcoin treasury companies within three years and to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. The company’s strong core business, which includes a growing portfolio of ready-to-eat consumer brands, provides a stable foundation for its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. This combination of a profitable core business and strategic digital asset allocation positions DDC to compete with other leading firms in the corporate Bitcoin space, such as MicroStrategy and BitMine [2].
