NEW YORK - GD Culture Group Limited (NASDAQ:GDC), a micro-cap company with a current market capitalization of $27 million, and its subsidiary, AI Catalysis Corp., have entered into an agreement with an accredited investor for the sale of up to $300 million of its common stock. According to InvestingPro data, the company currently shows concerning financial health metrics, with a weak overall score of 1.02. The proceeds from this sale are earmarked for the company’s crypto asset treasury strategy, which includes the acquisition of Bitcoin and OFFICIAL TRUMP digital tokens.
The initiative, which is subject to certain limitations, aims to integrate crypto assets into GD Culture Group’s core treasury operations. This move comes at a critical time for the company, as InvestingPro analysis reveals significant liquidity challenges with a current ratio of just 0.02, indicating that short-term obligations exceed liquid assets. This strategic pivot towards the growing decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem could provide needed financial flexibility.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GD Culture Group, Mr. Xiaojian Wang, stated that adopting crypto assets as treasury reserve holdings is a strategic decision reflecting industry trends and the company’s strengths in digital technologies and the livestreaming e-commerce ecosystem. He also noted that the partnership with the investor is expected to provide significant momentum for the initiative and reinforce the company’s leadership in embracing blockchain-driven industrial transformation.
GD Culture Group anticipates that this strategy will bolster its financial foundation and contribute to long-term shareholder value as DeFi continues to evolve.
The company, incorporated in Nevada, operates mainly through AI Catalysis Corp. and Shanghai Xianzhui Technology Co, Ltd. While GD Culture Group has announced plans to enter the livestreaming market with a focus on e-commerce via AI Catalysis, incorporated in May 2023, financial metrics from InvestingPro show the company reported a net loss of $13.84 million in the last twelve months.
