Metalpha adopts profit‑linked Bitcoin policy and makes first purchase
Metalpha Technology Holding Limited (Nasdaq: MATH) announces a formal Bitcoin allocation plan and executes an initial purchase as part of a broader strategic shift toward greater exposure to digital assets. The Board adopts a policy to allocate up to 20% of the company’s annual net profit to BTC purchases, authorizing an allocation quota of about US$3.2 million for the current period — equal to 20% of Metalpha’s reported net profit of US$15.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Management says the move treats Bitcoin as a foundational asset for the blockchain industry and as a complement to the firm’s client‑facing infrastructure offerings.
On the same day the policy is adopted, Metalpha executes its initial tranche purchase, deploying approximately US$1.0 million via its proprietary Accumulator trading structure at an average price near US$54,000 per Bitcoin. CEO Adrian Wang frames the initial buy as attractive at current price levels and potentially accretive to long‑term shareholder value, while stressing that capital deployment is conservative and structured. The company notes purchases occur in tranches and through bespoke instruments designed to manage execution risk and fit within its institutional trading capabilities.
Company spokespeople say the allocation will be reviewed periodically and remain capped at the 20% limit, with any changes disclosed in regulatory filings consistent with U.S. securities rules. Metalpha underscores that the plan reflects strategic intent rather than a shift in core business model, and that projected plans and expectations are subject to the customary risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may materially affect actual results.
Company positioning and product suite
Metalpha continues to position itself as a one‑stop, highly customized gateway to digital assets in Asia, highlighting expertise across digital asset management systems, hedging infrastructures, liquidity solutions and institutional‑grade architectures. The firm presents the BTC allocation as complementary to its services for institutional clients, leveraging in‑house trading and risk‑management systems.
Compliance and risk disclosure
The press release includes a standard forward‑looking statement disclaimer, warning that terms such as “expects,” “intends” and “believes” reflect current views and may change. Management emphasizes regulatory disclosure and periodic reporting as part of its governance around the new allocation policy.
