SOS Ltd., a blockchain and commodity trading company, announced its board approved a $50 million Bitcoin purchase plan.
The announcement, coupled with Bitcoin’s resilience, ignited a 100% surge in SOS stock.
Bitcoin had approached $100,000 last week, but a drop of almost 9% left the market fearing further declines.
Even though Bitcoin fell below $92,000 earlier this week, it is up 3% today, trading at $95,000.
SOS recognized Bitcoin’s potential despite the recent decline, which bolstered investor confidence in its strategy.
The company plans to implement various quantitative trading strategies, including investing, trading, and arbitrage approaches to manage market volatility.
“Bitcoin market performance is robust and supported by positive developments such as the launch of several Bitcoin-related ETF options and ongoing improvements in the US regulatory environment for digital assets,” said Yandai Wang, Chairman and CEO of SOS.
The investment decision reflects SOS’s view of Bitcoin as both a store of value and a strategic asset.
The company’s strategy aligns with increased institutional support for digital assets and an improving US regulatory landscape for crypto assets.
SOS operates across multiple sectors, including blockchain operations and commodity trading through its subsidiary SOS International Trading Co., Ltd.
The company also maintains a cloud-based platform for emergency rescue services, leveraging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and 5G networks.
