Neptune Digital Assets Sees 40% Surge After Securing a $20 Million Credit Line for Bitcoin Purchases
Neptunes Digital Assets Corporation, the publicly traded Canadian blockchain infrastructure provider whose share price jumped 40 per cent following the company’s recent deal with Swiss crypto-focused lender Sygnum Bank recently. The company secured a US $20 million credit facility provided with a backing of Bitcoin (BTC), which has helped expand the company’s reserve and strategic investments.
On 21 January, Neptune indicated that the loan would help facilitate financial flexibility for improving its portfolio of digital assets by leveraging Bitcoins. No dilution in the ownership would result through equities because it falls within the overall strategic direction aimed at fortifying the company’s foothold in the crypto space.
Neptunes chief executive Cale Moodie seemed bullish about the credit facility, the new credit arrangement described as very crucial for the company’s growth. He said:
- “Structured to maintain the security of Swiss banking with Bitcoin collateral, the loan gives us significant flexibility. At this critical growth stage, $20 million positions us to expand our digital asset portfolio, pursue strategic investments, and strengthen our balance sheet without diluting shareholders through equity issuance”.
Sygnum Bank Believes in Neptune’s Growth
The Swiss lender, Sygnum Bank, believes in Neptune’s plan, with Benedict Koedel, Head of Credit at Sygnum, saying the company has huge potential. He said he was excited about supporting Neptune as it scales its digital asset portfolio.
The market reacted positively to this development, driving Neptune’s shares on OTCMarkets up by over 40%, reaching a record high of $1.15. The company also trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol “NDA.”

Strategic Implications of Bitcoin-Backed Lending
This is at a time when public companies are increasingly tapping crypto-backed credit lines for enhanced market positioning in the space of digital assets. Neptune intends to use the loan to increase its reserves of Bitcoin, buy more crypto assets, and finance long-term investments.
Broader Market Context
Neptune has made the strategic move against the backdrop of increased public company frenzy to buy Bitcoin while pro-crypto administrations remain in power. For example, a publicly traded reinsurance and tokenized asset company, Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited, just announced that it added Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) to its fiscal reserves, adding more evidence of mainstream adoption of digital currencies in corporate treasury management processes.
Such an enormous rise in Neptune’s share price reflects growing confidence in crypto-backed strategies from mainstream institutions embracing digital assets.
