Empery Digital is lowering its Bitcoin [BTC] stack at a rapid pace. The business sold 1,635 Bitcoin for roughly $102.2 million between 1st July and 6th August.
And yet, despite those sales, Empery still had 1,279 BTC as of 6th August. Worth noting, however, that there is one loophole of 954 BTC pledged as collateral for a $35 million loan.
This means that unless the debt and collateral arrangements permit it, the business won’t be able to freely sell or use those 954 BTC.
The business held 1,375 BTC worth of unrestricted Bitcoin as of 30th June. However, by 6th August, that had dropped to just 325 BTC. This implied that in just over a month, about 1,050 BTC in unrestricted holdings vanished.
How is Empery Digital using its Bitcoin?
For its part, Bitcoin is being used increasingly by Empery Digital to pay for its business commitments. With the sale of 1,167 Bitcoin for $80.1 million in H1 2026, it contributed to the repayment of $10 million in loans, $50 million for the Repo Facility, and $54 million for share buybacks.
Following collateral calls, it moved 576 Bitcoin in February and 186 Bitcoin in June. The lender returned 585 Bitcoin after a $20 million debt repayment, lowering the debt from $55 million to $35 million.
