Tokyo Firm Liquidates Part of Ethereum Treasury to Fund AI Data Centers

Quantum Solutions more than doubled its authorized Ethereum (ETH) sale cap to 4,375 ETH on July 30, as subsidiary GPT Pals Studio sold another 1,000 ETH at $1,903 per token.

The sale generated $1.9 million in proceeds and is expected to result in an accounting loss of approximately JPY 17 million ($100,970). The proceeds will fund the group’s AI Infrastructure Data Center (AIDC) business.

Why Quantum Solutions Is Selling Its ETH Holdings

The Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed firm first approved sales of up to 1,875 ETH on June 4. It cited funding needs for data center usage agreements, GPU equipment, and business launch preparations.

GPT Pals Studio sold 904 ETH on June 16, leaving just 971 ETH available under the original policy. The board therefore added 2,500 ETH to the cap through a written resolution on July 30.

The group has now sold 1,904 ETH since June, cutting its holdings to 4,764.80 ETH. However, 3,050 of those tokens have remained pledged to a Singapore-based lender as collateral since April. That leaves only 1,714.80 ETH in GPT’s trading account.

The July sale resulted in an expected accounting loss because the sale price of $1,903 per ETH was below the carrying value of $2,003.97,

“As a result of the sale, the Company expects to recognize a loss on sale of approximately JPY 17 million during the second quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2027, calculated based on the carrying value following the mark-to-market valuation conducted at the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2027,” the firm said.

Crypto Treasuries Feed the AI Trade

Quantum Solutions joins a widening group of public companies chasing the AI trade. Bitcoin (BTC) miners show the trend most clearly.

IREN, TeraWulf, and Core Scientific have redirected their energy-heavy facilities from mining rigs to high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads. 

In fact, public miners offloaded 32,000 BTC in the first quarter of 2026, exceeding their disposals for all of 2025. Squeezed margins, heavy debt loads, and AI infrastructure shift drive the exodus.
