Tokyo-listed firm Quantum Solutions sold 1,000 ETH on July 30, 2026, raising $1.9 million to fund its AI data center business. This sale followed an earlier disposal of 904 ETH on June 16 for $1.61 million. Combined, Quantum has sold 1,904 ETH since June, which accounts for about 29% of its initial holdings of 6,668.8 ETH. The July 30 sale price of $1,903 per ETH was significantly below the firm’s average acquisition cost of $3,595.02 per token reported in June, resulting in a recognized loss of approximately $101,000 on the position’s May 31 carrying value.
Quantum’s board has increased the total cap on ETH disposals through October 30 to 4,375 tokens, up from the prior limit of 1,875. This adjustment allows the company to sell nearly 66% of the ETH it held in June. However, 3,050 ETH of its remaining tokens are pledged as collateral to an unnamed Singapore financial-services firm, and 1,714.8 ETH remain available in the trading account. By selling its tokens, Quantum has reportedly lost its status as Japan’s largest publicly listed ETH holder, with Def Consulting now holding a larger balance of 4,976 ETH as of June 30.
Separately, NYSE American-listed Hyperscale Data monetized around 100 BTC and established a bitcoin-backed credit facility with an expected interest rate of 4.5% to 5%. The funds are intended to support development of the company’s AI data center campus in Michigan. Both firms are leveraging their crypto treasuries or credit lines secured by digital assets to finance expansion in the emerging AI infrastructure sector.
Quantum Solutions intends to allocate the proceeds from ETH sales toward data center deposits, GPU servers, networking equipment, and general working capital. It has signed a nonbinding agreement with Hong Kong-based Integrated Capital to explore development of a Japanese data center, though specific financing details and timelines remain unsettled. The reported moves illustrate how crypto treasury firms are converting digital asset holdings into capital for real-world technology ventures.
