The AI and digital marketing company acquired its 7,500 Bitcoin in September 2025, amid a market-wide collapse in Bitcoin treasury company mNAVs. The board of directors for GD Culture Group (GDC), a publicly listed holding company focused on digital marketing and AI, on Wednesday authorized the company to sell Bitcoin (BTC) from its corporate treasury to pay for a share buyback program. The move appears to be a reversal of a May 2025 decision to build a cryptocurrency reserve of Bitcoin and Official Trump Coin (TRUMP).

Bitcoin rallied above $69,500 after US stocks turned green on US policy clarity and strong earnings results. Will bulls target $70,000 next? Bitcoin (BTC) rallied to a weekly high of $69,500 on Wednesday, surging from lows near $62,400 in less than 24 hours.
