The enthusiasm for cryptocurrency within the Asian market is experiencing exponential growth. At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) 
$77,196 reclaimed its support at $112,000 and was on the verge of conquering the critical $112,500 region. Optimism surrounding BTC and altcoins is once again on the rise. Recently, there was an official announcement that a Hong Kong-based company intends to sell shares in exchange for BTC. The details of this transaction hold significant interest.
China and Bitcoin
CIMG INC, which owns brands such as Kangduoyuan, Maca-Noni, Qianmao, Huomao, and Coco-mango, declared that it will be selling shares to acquire Bitcoin. This digital health and sales development company has reached agreements with nine investors. These investors, all located outside of the United States, will purchase shares worth $55 million by paying 500 BTC in return.
The nine customers agreed to pay $0.25 per share, choosing not to provide payment in dollars. Instead, the transaction will be completed with a payment of 500 BTC at a unit price of $110,000. Whether the creation of a Bitcoin reserve by a Hong Kong company or the choice to make payments in BTC instead of dollars or yuan is more surprising remains unclear.
The growing demand for cryptocurrency in Asia has sparked significant, pioneering agreements promising an optimistic future.
Companies with Bitcoin Reserves
“The Board believes investing in Bitcoin offers a unique exposure to crypto assets and new technologies beyond traditional business and investment models amid macroeconomic uncertainties. This strategic venture places CIMG at the forefront of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency innovation.” – Official CIMG Statement
At the top of the list is a company now called Strategy, holding 632,457 BTC. All of the top six public crypto reserve companies are based in the United States. However, the seventh company, Metaplanet, with 18,991 BTC, is an investor from Japan. Companies from China such as Next Technology and Cano also hold reserves ranging from 4,000 to 6,000 BTC.
ETFs, DeFi contracts, state-held assets, and public company reserves collectively hold more than 3.68 million BTC. For an asset with a maximum supply of 21 million, these figures indicate an approaching supply scarcity.
