Digital Commodities Adds NEAR to Portfolio with Gold-Funded Purchase

Digital Commodities Inc. (DIGI) has expanded its digital asset portfolio with a C$100,000 investment in NEAR Protocol, marking its second growth-focused position following an earlier purchase of SOL. The acquisition was funded by additional sales of physical gold, reflecting a strategic shift in the company's treasury mix toward digital assets.

The move signals DIGI's active deployment into its AI/blockchain thesis, potentially altering its perceived risk profile. While the company's reserves remain anchored by 11 BTC and cash, the addition of NEAR demonstrates ongoing diversification beyond Bitcoin.

Analysts note that this is an early-stage build-out of a disclosed AI/digital-infrastructure allocation. A larger catalyst could emerge from materially bigger allocations, performance updates, or realized gains/losses affecting the company's net asset value (NAV) or liquidity.
