Caliber Adds Chainlink to $2.9B Portfolio, Pioneering Digital Asset Expansion
Caliber, a Nasdaq-listed real estate and digital asset manager, has made a bold entry into the world of blockchain by adopting Chainlink (LINK) as a cornerstone of its digital asset strategy.
In a statement today, the firm revealed it has successfully completed its first purchase of LINK tokens, marking the launch of its Digital Asset Treasury Strategy. This initial acquisition was described as a system test, with future LINK purchases set to be funded through cash reserves, an ELOC, and equity-based securities. Caliber emphasized that these acquisitions will take place on a consistent, ongoing basis.
Chainlink Positioned at the Heart of Expansion
With this move, Caliber becomes the first Nasdaq-listed company to center its treasury strategy around LINK. The firm highlighted Chainlink’s critical role in bridging blockchains with real-world assets, aligning with its vision of blending real estate with digital innovation.
By holding LINK, Caliber’s shareholders now gain indirect exposure to the cryptocurrency through company stock. This marks a significant addition to the firm’s traditional real estate portfolio valued at over $2.9 billion, underscoring its commitment to digital expansion.
Growing Institutional Interest in LINK
Caliber’s adoption comes at a time when institutional interest in Chainlink is accelerating, particularly in the exchange-traded fund (ETF) space.
Just last week, Grayscale Investments filed for a Chainlink ETF, seeking to list the product under the ticker GLNK on NYSE Arca. This follows a similar filing by Bitwise in August, as both firms look to expand their altcoin ETF offerings.
Other major players—including WisdomTree, 21Shares, and Canary Capital—are also pursuing altcoin ETFs. With regulatory decisions expected in October, prediction markets are showing strong optimism, giving approval odds of 87% for Cardano (ADA) and 93% for XRP.
