Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

• Caliber completed its first LINK purchase as part of a Digital Asset Treasury Strategy.
• The firm plans measured LINK acquisitions and staking to generate yield.
• Institutional adoption grows with Grayscale and Bitwise filing Chainlink ETFs.

Caliber, the Nasdaq-listed real estate and digital asset manager, has entered the crypto space by making Chainlink (LINK) the centerpiece of its Digital Asset Treasury Strategy. The company confirmed today that it completed its first purchase of LINK tokens, marking both a test transaction and the launch of its treasury plan.

Building a LINK Treasury Position

According to the announcement, Caliber intends to gradually build a significant LINK position through purchases funded by existing cash reserves, an extended line of credit (ELOC), and equity-based securities. The company emphasized that the approach will be measured and consistent over time, with additional plans to stake LINK for yield.

Management described this as an “institutional and disciplined” way to gain long-term exposure to digital assets, while maintaining Caliber’s reputation as a trusted player in the real estate sector.

With this move, Caliber becomes the first Nasdaq-listed company to anchor its treasury strategy around LINK, highlighting the growing importance of Chainlink in bridging blockchain technology with real-world assets.

Chainlink at the Center of Institutional Adoption

Caliber sees Chainlink as key to connecting digital and physical worlds, particularly as the company manages over $2.9 billion in real estate assets. Shareholders will now gain indirect exposure to LINK through Caliber’s stock, adding a crypto layer to its traditional asset base.

The timing aligns with broader institutional momentum for Chainlink. Demand for LINK has been growing in decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenized real estate, and institutional-grade oracles.

Chainlink ETF Filings Gain Momentum

Institutional interest in Chainlink is also reflected in the ETF market. Last week, Grayscale Investments filed for a Chainlink ETF (GLNK) on NYSE Arca, following Bitwise’s filing in August. Both firms aim to give traditional investors regulated exposure to LINK without direct custody of tokens.

These filings are part of a broader wave of altcoin ETF proposals, which also include Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE). According to prediction markets, regulatory approval odds are currently 87% for ADA ETFs and 93% for XRP ETFs, with decisions expected in October.

By adopting Chainlink for its treasury, Caliber not only diversifies its portfolio but also positions itself at the forefront of blockchain and real estate convergence. With ETFs on the horizon and institutional demand rising, LINK’s role in traditional finance could be just beginning.
