Bitcoin News Today: Empery Digital Bets Big on Bitcoin as Treasury Play Intensifies

Empery Digital, a publicly traded U.S. company listed on Nasdaq, has announced the acquisition of an additional 16.51 Bitcoin (BTC) for a total investment of $1.8 million, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 4,081.39 BTC. The purchase was made at an average cost of $117,517 per BTC, with the company’s total acquisition cost for its Bitcoin reserves now reaching approximately $480 million [2]. This most recent acquisition reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to a treasury strategy focused on accumulating Bitcoin as a core asset, a strategy the firm has been actively pursuing since its rebrand from Volcon, Inc. [1].

In addition to the Bitcoin purchase, Empery Digital has continued its share repurchase program, which was authorized with a $100 million budget. As of the latest report, the company has repurchased a total of 1,009,115 shares of its common stock at an average price of $7.29 per share. This brings remaining repurchase capacity to approximately $93 million [2]. Empery Digital has stated its intention to continue repurchasing shares at prices below its net asset value, utilizing up to $25 million in available liquidity and an additional $75 million through potential borrowing [1]. The company also maintains a dual focus on Bitcoin accumulation and its electric vehicle business under the brand name Empery Mobility, which markets electric off-road vehicles and accessories [1].

The company’s Bitcoin strategy aligns with broader trends in the market, particularly among publicly traded firms in the U.S. and globally, where Bitcoin is increasingly being integrated as part of corporate treasuries. For instance, as of late 2025, the U.S. government was reported to hold the second-largest Bitcoin reserve globally, with 198,022 BTC valued at $23.46 billion [3]. China also maintained a significant holding of 190,000 BTC, worth approximately $22.5 billion, despite its regulatory stance against retail crypto trading [3]. These developments highlight the growing institutional and governmental interest in Bitcoin as a strategic asset class.

Analyst sentiment on Empery Digital remains mixed. Although Wall Street analysts have forecasted that the company’s stock price will fall over the next 12 months, with an average 1-year price target of $7.00 per share, these projections are considered subjective and may not fully reflect the company’s operational performance. Analysts recommend that investors focus on objective fundamentals and management actions, such as the continued buybacks and Bitcoin acquisitions, which may provide more insight into the company’s long-term value [1].

Empery Digital’s dual approach—combining Bitcoin treasury growth with its electric vehicle business—positions the company to potentially benefit from multiple high-growth sectors. The company’s electric mobility segment includes the sale of electric bikes, UTVs, and golf carts, with models such as the HF1, MN1, and Brat catering to a range of consumer and utility needs [1]. The company has not provided specific performance metrics for this segment, but its continued investment in Bitcoin suggests a strategic emphasis on diversification and long-term capital preservation.
