Tokyo-listed Quantum Solutions (2338) has sold 1,000 ETH for approximately $1.9 million and more than doubled its authorized disposal ceiling to help finance a push into the AI data center business, joining a small but growing group of publicly listed companies redirecting crypto treasuries toward GPU infrastructure amid surging global demand for AI compute capacity.
The company disclosed that it sold the ETH on July 30 at $1,903 per token, generating $1.903 million after fees, according to a company filing. Quantum expects to recognize a $100,970 loss against the position's May 31 carrying value of $2,003.97 per ETH. The sale price was 47% below the $3,595.02 average acquisition cost the firm reported in June.
Quantum had previously sold 904 ETH for $1.61 million on June 16 at an average price of $1,777 per token. The two disposals together raised roughly $3.51 million and reduced the company's holdings by 29%, from 6,668.8 ETH to 4,764.8 ETH.
Quantum's board raised the cumulative sale limit to 4,375 ETH from 1,875 ETH through Oct. 30, leaving the firm authorized to sell an additional 2,471 ETH. Utilizing the full limit would mean disposing of nearly 66% of the holdings reported in June. Of the remaining ETH, 3,050 tokens are pledged as collateral to an unnamed Singapore-based financial-services firm, while 1,714.8 ETH remain in a trading account.
Based on the latest company disclosures, the sale also cost Quantum its standing as Japan's largest publicly listed ETH holder. Def Consulting reported holding 4,976 ETH as of June 30, surpassing Quantum's current balance.
Quantum intends to use the proceeds for data center deposits, GPU servers, networking equipment, and working capital. In June, the firm signed a nonbinding agreement with Hong Kong-based Integrated Capital to explore developing a Japanese data center, though no investment amount, financing terms, or timetable has been established. The company's treasury holdings can be tracked on CoinGecko.
Separately, NYSE American-listed Hyperscale Data (GPUS) said it monetized approximately 100 BTC and established a bitcoin-backed credit facility carrying an expected variable interest rate of 4.5% to 5%. The proceeds are intended to fund development of the company's Michigan AI data center campus, according to a press release. Bitcoin-backed lending has emerged as a treasury management tool that lets companies raise capital against holdings without fully liquidating positions, though Hyperscale also sold a portion outright.
