Nasdaq-listed Ethereum treasury firm BTCS sold ether at a loss to keep its $64 million loan on the Aave lending platform in good standing. The company holds 46,676 ETH as collateral for the borrowing. Without action, the loan could become eligible for liquidation if ether's price falls to around $1,700. The sale was made to bolster the collateral position against that risk. The move highlights the pressure crypto treasury companies face when token prices decline while they carry leveraged debt.
Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto has an outstanding debt to the exchange Kraken of about $165 million. Roughly 70% of the firm's bitcoin holdings are pledged as collateral to Kraken. The coins were acquired at prices near $118,000 each. Bitcoin's current trading price has fallen below $69,000, which has pushed the value of the pledged holdings down. As a result, the amount Nakamoto owes now exceeds the company's entire market capitalization.
