Quantum Solutions sold 1,000 ETH at a 47% loss to fund AI data centers, while Hyperscale Data monetized 100 BTC and opened a bitcoin-backed credit line for its Michigan facility.
Tokyo-listed Quantum Solutions (2338) sold 1,000 ETH for $1.9 million on July 30, taking a realized loss of about $100,970 against the position's May 31 carrying value, according to a company filing. The sale price of $1,903 per token was 47% below the $3,595.02 average acquisition cost Quantum reported in June.
The disposal is the second in six weeks. Quantum sold 904 ETH for $1.61 million on June 16 at $1,777 per token. Combined, the two sales raised roughly $3.51 million and cut the company's holdings by 29% to 4,764.8 ETH from 6,668.8 ETH.
Quantum's board raised the cumulative sale limit to 4,375 ETH from 1,875 ETH through Oct. 30, leaving it authorized to sell another 2,471 ETH. Using the full limit would mean disposing of nearly 66% of the holdings it reported in June. Of the remaining ETH, 3,050 tokens are pledged as collateral to an unnamed Singapore financial-services firm, while 1,714.8 ETH sit in a trading account.
The sales cost Quantum its position as Japan's largest listed ETH holder. Def Consulting reported holding 4,976 ETH as of June 30.
Quantum plans to use the proceeds for data center deposits, GPU servers, networking equipment and working capital. It signed a nonbinding agreement with Hong Kong-based Integrated Capital in June to explore a Japanese data center, though no investment amount, financing terms or timetable has been set.
Separately, NYSE American-listed Hyperscale Data (GPUS) said it monetized about 100 BTC and established a bitcoin-backed credit facility carrying an expected variable interest rate of 4.5% to 5%. The company did not disclose the credit line size or the bitcoin sale price.
The two cases show a shift in crypto treasury strategy as AI infrastructure costs rise. Quantum took a realized loss on its ETH sales, while Hyperscale Data used its bitcoin as collateral rather than selling outright, preserving upside exposure.
