Hong Kong-based investment company QMMM Holdings’ shares erupted on Tuesday following the announcement of a large-scale digital assets strategy. The firm revealed it would launch a US$100 million (AU$153.2 million) treasury featuring Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, a move that sent shares up more than 2,300% during intraday trading.

The Nasdaq-listed stock ended the session at US$207 (AU$317.1), representing a 1,736% surge from the day’s open. After its remarkable rally, QMMM stock slipped nearly 25% in after-hours trade to US$156.31 (AU$239.4).

Bun Kwai, QMMM CEO, said the rapid global embrace of blockchain and digital assets is pushing the firm to embrace innovation. He explained that QMMM’s strategy demonstrates its ambition to merge the digital economy with real-world applications.

Despite the headline announcement, questions remain over financing. The company’s latest SEC filing, dated January, revealed it had just US$497,993 (AU$762,910) in cash at the end of September 2024 and posted a loss of US$1.58 million (AU$2.42 million) for the fiscal year. No details have been provided on how the US$100 million (AU$153.2 million) initiative will be supported.
