Shortly after this move, on-chain data revealed the company transferred 2,650 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $205 million, to the Crypto.com exchange. [5, 9, 10] The transfer fueled speculation of a potential sale of its digital assets. [5, 10] The strategic pivot follows the company's Q1 2026 report of a $405.9 million net loss, largely attributed to unrealized losses on its substantial Bitcoin holdings. [4, 5, 10]
