Publicly traded company Enlightify Inc. (NYSE: ENFY) will acquire up to $20 million worth of CYBER tokens over the next 12 months through staged open-market purchases, overseen by its blockchain subsidiary Antaeus Tech. This marks the first time a publicly traded firm has allocated treasury funds directly to CYBER, breaking from traditional corporate crypto strategies focused solely on Bitcoin or Ethereum.
The acquisition employs dollar-cost averaging to mitigate volatility risks while positioning Enlightify within the decentralized AI infrastructure sector. CYBER serves as the native token for Cyber's protocol, which powers decentralized social graphs and AI networks – recently gaining credibility through its inclusion in the Crypto AI Benchmark Alliance alongside EigenLayer and Alchemy. This investment follows Enlightify's strategic restructuring of Antaeus Tech in June to prioritize blockchain initiatives.
The move signals growing institutional confidence in specialized blockchain utilities beyond store-of-value assets, highlighting corporate treasury strategies evolving to include tokens with specific technological applications like AI model validation and on-chain data frameworks.
