Struggling real estate asset manager CaliberCos has pivoted to become the first publicly listed corporate treasury to adopt Chainlink (LINK) tokens, as approved by its Board of Directors on August 28, 2025.
The company will accumulate LINK for its treasury funds, stake the tokens to enhance investor returns, and integrate Chainlink's blockchain into key business processes like asset valuation and automation.
This move comes amid significant financial woes for Caliber, which received a Nasdaq delisting notice due to failing to meet the minimum stockholder equity requirement of $160 million, with only $17.6 million reported on June 30, 2025. Since listing on Nasdaq in July 2023, Caliber's shares have plummeted by over 98%, but the announcement triggered a 60% surge in its stock price.
CEO Chris Loeffler emphasized, "Caliber has always sought to become a diversified alternative asset manager, and this decision allows us to present shareholders with a platform investing in real and digital asset infrastructure." The company has also established a crypto advisory board to oversee its treasury policy, signaling a strategic shift towards digital assets.
