Nasdaq-listed real estate firm Caliber boosts Chainlink treasury holdings with $2 million purchase
Quick Take Caliber’s stock has swung sharply since adopting its Chainlink-focused treasury strategy, soaring in August before falling back under $4. The firm now holds about 562,500 LINK tokens worth over $10 million.
Nasdaq-listed Caliber (ticker CWD) said Thursday it purchased an additional $2 million worth of Chainlink’s LINK tokens as part of its digital asset treasury strategy.
The Scottsdale-based real estate and asset management firm acquired 94,903 LINK at an average price of $21.07, bringing its total holdings to 562,535 tokens valued at roughly $10.2 million.
Caliber first launched the strategy in August and claims to be the first Nasdaq-listed company to publicly anchor a corporate treasury in LINK .
The company said it plans to gradually build its LINK position over time "for long-term appreciation and generating yield through staking." Caliber manages about $2.9 billion in real assets across hospitality, multifamily, and industrial properties.
Shares of Caliber briefly surged above $9 in the weeks following its August announcement — their highest level since April — as investors bet on the company’s pivot toward digital assets. But the stock has since fallen back below $4, down roughly 73% year to date, giving Caliber a market capitalization of nearly $20 million.
Meanwhile, LINK is trading around $18.30 on Thursday, down about 24% from its August high near $24.40, according to The Block price data .

Interest in Chainlink exposure has also been building among ETF issuers. Bitwise and Grayscale both filed proposals with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this year to launch spot Chainlink ETFs, seeking to expand single-token offerings beyond bitcoin and ether.
