Nasdaq-listed firm Caliber completes first LINK purchase under new Digital Asset Treasury strategy, signaling rising institutional adoption of Chainlink.
Caliber (CWD), a diversified real estate and digital asset management firm, announced, that it has completed its first purchase of Chainlink (LINK) tokens as part of its newly launched Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy.
The diversified alternative asset manager with over $2.9 billion in AUM is the first Nasdaq-listed company to publicly announce a treasury reserve policy centered on Chainlink, which provides critical infrastructure for both DeFi and institutional applications.
The company said the acquisition was funded through its existing equity line of credit, cash reserves, and potential equity-based securities. The transaction serves as a system test to ensure Caliber is prepared to handle custody, tax, accounting, and governance requirements associated with digital asset management.
The company plans to make incremental, consistent purchases of LINK over time, with the stated goal of generating long-term appreciation and staking yield.
According to Chris Loeffler, CEO of Caliber, each acquisition reinforces the firm’s conviction in Chainlink as a key infrastructure connecting blockchain networks with real-world data.
Institutional Appetite for Chainlink Grows
Institutional interest in Chainlink (LINK) has been rising. Earlier this crypto asset manager Grayscale filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to convert its Chainlink Trust into a Chainlink ETF. If approved, the ETF could be the first-ever U.S. exchange-traded fund focused on Chainlink (LINK).
The filing also outlines a potential staking feature, where the fund could stake LINK tokens through third-party providers while keeping the assets in secure custodian wallets.
LINK Price Reacts
Despite positive institutional developments, the $16 billion market cap Chainlink (LINK) has experienced price volatility, falling nearly 4% from $23.7 to $22.8 before returning to around $23.4 over the past 24 hours.
Why This Matters
The move signals growing institutional adoption of Chainlink (LINK), particularly for corporate treasury diversification, and may encourage other firms to consider similar strategies.
