As regulatory clarity emerges and traditional cash yields underwhelm, corporate treasuries are pivoting toward digital assets—and institutional investors are securing $73 billion[1] in capital commitments to fund this transformation.
What if the biggest profit opportunity in corporate finance wasn't hiding in quarterly earnings, but sitting in plain sight on balance sheets? A new breed of publicly traded companies is rewriting the treasury playbook, abandoning cash-heavy strategies for digital asset accumulation that's generating returns traditional finance can't match.
Coinbase research reveals that more than three-quarters of surveyed investors expect to increase their allocations to digital assets in 2025, with 59% planning to allocate over 5% of assets under management to digital assets or related products[2]. The exchange's institutional survey shows 84% of institutions are either already utilizing or expressing interest in utilizing stablecoins for yield and transactional convenience.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Technavio projects the digital asset management market will grow by US$22.51 billion from 2025-2029 at a whopping 26.3% CAGR [3].

(NASDAQ: ATON) — AlphaTON Capital completed a strategic transformation from biotech to digital assets, securing approximately $100 million in TON token acquisitions through private placement financing and BitGo credit facilities. The rebranded entity, formerly Portage Biotech, appointed Brittany Kaiser as CEO and raised $38.2 million in private placement plus a $35 million loan facility.

The $11.94 Billion Digital Asset Treasury Opportunity
The transformation from traditional cash management to digital asset treasuries represents one of the fastest-growing segments in corporate finance.
According to Mordor Intelligence, the Digital Asset Management market is valued at $6.59 billion in 2025 and forecast to reach $12.80 billion by 2030, advancing at a 14.18% CAGR as enterprises reposition digital asset management from cost centers to core strategic pillars.[4]
This growth reflects fundamental shifts in how corporations approach treasury optimization. Bernstein Private Wealth Management analysts project public companies globally could allocate as much as $330 billion to Bitcoin over the next five years[5], compared to about $80 billion today. The acceleration stems from cryptocurrencies offering long-term appreciation potential while acting as hedges against inflation and fiat currency devaluation.
The Bottom Line
The digital asset treasury transformation is accelerating as regulatory frameworks mature and institutional infrastructure strengthens. Corporate adoption has moved beyond speculative investment to strategic necessity, with companies recognizing cryptocurrencies' role in portfolio diversification and yield generation.
Institutional investors are already positioning for this shift, with 59% of portfolios now including digital assets as mainstream acceptance grows[6]. The capital markets are responding accordingly, with transaction structures ranging from equity offerings to convertible notes demonstrating unprecedented flexibility in supporting long-term digital asset accumulation strategies.
While the companies mentioned are attracting significant attention from major investors, one BNB-focused treasury firm has quietly secured $500 million in institutional backing to build what could become the purest public market proxy for the world's third-largest cryptocurrency ecosystem.
