Canada’s NextGen Digital Joins Bitcoin Treasury Trend With $1M Acquisition

     

Firm allocates up to 80% of treasury to crypto, citing Bitcoin’s resilience and global economic shifts

NextGen Digital Platforms Inc. has entered the corporate crypto treasury space with a $1 million purchase of Bitcoin, marking its first foray into decentralized assets. The move underscores the company’s broader strategy to incorporate cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana into its long-term financial planning.

In a statement on Monday, NextGen confirmed its board approved a policy allowing up to 80% of its treasury reserves to be allocated to crypto assets. These holdings will be custodied by a regulated, institutional-grade provider to ensure compliance with legal and security standards.

CEO Matthew Priebe called the move a forward-thinking decision grounded in financial resilience. “We believe Bitcoin is a unique monetary asset that offers long-term resilience and upside as a treasury reserve,” he said. The company emphasized that its ongoing operations and development initiatives would remain unaffected.

NextGen joins a growing list of publicly traded companies shifting part of their reserves into digital assets amid rising inflation and systemic financial risks. The firm sees this initiative as a means to diversify its treasury and hedge against traditional market volatility.

With businesses like PCSections.com and Cloud AI Hosting under its wing, NextGen operates across both emerging technology sectors and decentralized finance. The Bitcoin acquisition aligns the firm with global trends while reinforcing its commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance.

Saylor-style crypto strategies gain global traction

NextGen’s announcement follows a wave of similar moves by corporations adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies inspired by Michael Saylor’s Strategy. Since 2020, Saylor has transformed how companies approach digital assets—treating Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation rather than a speculative investment.

Earlier today, Strategy disclosed its latest acquisition of 6,220 BTC for $739.8 million at an average price of $118,940 per coin, bringing its total holdings to 607,770 BTC.

Saylor’s bold approach has encouraged both fintech startups and traditional companies to rethink cash-heavy balance sheets in favor of decentralized, value-preserving assets like Bitcoin.
