Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd, a Singapore-based firm listed on Nasdaq, plans to raise up to $500 million to build a large-scale XRP treasury.
The project is set to commence in the second half of 2025, pending regulatory approval and market conditions, with funding coming from equity sales, strategic investments, and structured deals.
The company intends to purchase XRP tokens and engage in staking activities to maximize returns, with discussions already underway with major players in the cryptocurrency space.
Trident aims to establish a long-term corporate XRP reserve, utilizing blockchain tools to modernize cash management and provide transparent updates to shareholders.
A trend in setting up XRP reserves is emerging with other firms like Webus International, VivoPower International, Wellgistics Health, and Hyperscale Data Inc. also making significant moves in this area.
Challenges lie ahead for Trident as large token purchases can impact market prices and ongoing legal uncertainties surrounding XRP globally have led to investor caution.
Trident's stock experienced a nearly 40% drop following the initial announcement, driven by concerns about share dilution and market volatility.
