As of November 15, 2025,

ZEC

surged by 9.28% over the past day, reaching a value of $674.47. Over the previous week, ZEC climbed 27.39%, saw a 64.4% increase in the last month, and soared 1082.19% over the past year.

Cypherpunk Technologies, formerly known as Leap Therapeutics, has made a significant move to reshape its corporate direction by creating a $50 million

Zcash

(ZEC) reserve. The company purchased 203,775 ZEC at an average cost of $245.37 per coin, which accounts for about 1.25% of the entire ZEC supply. This effort is supported by a $58.88 million private funding round led by Winklevoss Capital. Cypherpunk Technologies intends to keep acquiring ZEC until it holds at least 5% of the total supply, demonstrating a strong, long-term belief in the privacy-centric cryptocurrency.

Douglas E. Onsi, who serves as CEO of

Cypherpunk Technologies

, stated that building this treasury is a deliberate strategy to enhance long-term value for shareholders by fostering Zcash’s advancement. The company will soon be listed on Nasdaq with the ticker

CYPH

, while its biotechnology segment will continue under the Leap Therapeutics brand. This transition reflects a larger industry

movement

toward digital assets, particularly as interest in privacy-focused blockchain technologies grows.

Tyler Winklevoss, Gemini’s co-founder, referred to Zcash as “encrypted

bitcoin

,” pointing out that its privacy capabilities complement Bitcoin’s open ledger. He suggested that Zcash could play a much bigger role in the future, especially as digital payments and AI technologies become increasingly widespread.
