GD Culture Group (GDC), a Nasdaq-listed micro-cap firm with a $34 million market cap, announced plans to raise up to $300 million to build a cryptocurrency treasury reserve.
Revealed on May 12, GDC and its subsidiary AI Catalysis entered a stock purchase agreement with a British Virgin Islands-based company to sell up to $300M in common stock.

The funds will be used to acquire and hold digital assets, specifically Bitcoin and the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin, aiming to integrate crypto into its core treasury operations.
This move reflects GDC’s broader alignment with decentralization and blockchain innovation.
CEO Xiaojian Wang stated this strategy complements GDC’s expertise in AI, digital human technology, and livestreaming e-commerce.
However, the announcement follows a Nasdaq compliance warning—GDC reported just $2,643 in stockholders’ equity, well below the $2.5 million minimum.
The company has until May 4 to submit a compliance plan and up to 180 days to meet listing standards if approved.
This step places GDC among a small but growing number of publicly traded companies integrating crypto assets into their financial strategies, signaling a calculated shift toward blockchain-based financial management.
