CEO Highlights Dogecoin’s Evolving Utility and Community Strength
The Nasdaq-listed diversified digital asset company, Bit Origin announced on July 17 plans to launch a $500 million Dogecoin ( DOGE) treasury strategy. The company has entered into agreements with accredited investors for the sale of up to $400 million in Class A ordinary shares and up to $100 million in convertible debt to fund this initiative.
According to a news release, Bit Origin aims to become one of the largest publicly traded holders of DOGE, a move intended to deliver long-term value through increasing Doge-per-share. The strategy underscores the company’s strong belief in Dogecoin’s potential for widespread integration into payment layers, including platforms like X Money.
“Bit Origin is evolving beyond mining infrastructure to engage directly in the value and utility of digital assets,” stated Jinghai Jiang, CEO and Chairman of Bit Origin. “What started as a joke has evolved into a globally liquid asset with payments utility. Few digital assets rival Doge’s settlement speed and scale of community, which continues to drive adoption across peer-to-peer payments and online commerce.”
Jiang further elaborated on the company’s vision, adding, “We hope Doge’s performance and community make it a natural fit for X Money, as Elon Musk advances his vision for X as a global super-app. In an age of broken institutions, Doge embodies a shared culture of optimism and resilience that transcends existing political and financial systems.”
Bit Origin’s accumulation of DOGE reflects its conviction in the network’s grassroots strength and payments utility, bolstered by its low fees and growing merchant acceptance. Building on its foundational infrastructure, the company plans to explore new avenues within the DOGE ecosystem, including miner-facing services, payment applications, and other value-generating operations.
The company has already completed an initial closing of $15 million under the convertible debt facility and intends to deploy a significant portion of these proceeds towards its initial DOGE acquisition. Chardan served as the placement agent for the funded facility from ATW Partners.
