Solidion Technology, a U.S.-based firm specializing in battery materials, has announced a new corporate treasury strategy. The company has pledged to dedicate over half of its excess cash reserves to purchasing Bitcoin (BTC).
Bitcoin as a Strategic Asset
As per a press release issued on November 14, Solidion will channel 60% of any surplus cash from operations into acquiring Bitcoin. Additionally, it will convert interest earnings from money market accounts into the digital currency. The company also intends to allocate a portion of future capital raises to Bitcoin purchases. Solidion views this strategy as a testament to its “long-term belief in Bitcoin’s role as a store of value and a strategic asset.”
Vlad Prantsevich, the Chief Financial Officer of Solidion Technology, underlined the company’s long-term faith in Bitcoin’s potential. He stated that the Dallas-based firm firmly believes in Bitcoin’s “transformative potential for the financial system.” The company sees its Bitcoin allocation as both a secure store of value and an attractive investment.
Bitcoin’s Future Role
Prantsevich anticipates that the next phase for Bitcoin will be its widespread acceptance as a reserve asset by both sovereign nations and corporations. This, he believes, will create substantial value and long-term upside potential for Bitcoin as it gains further global acceptance.

It caters to the automotive and energy storage sectors and holds over 550 patents.
