Private investment of $1.8 million secures for LQWD Technologies to acquire Bitcoin assets
LQWD Technologies, a Canadian firm at the forefront of Bitcoin-centric treasury strategies, has announced significant developments in its Bitcoin holdings and Lightning Network infrastructure.
In a recent private placement, the company raised $1.8 million, earmarking a portion of the funds for Bitcoin purchases. This move reaffirms LQWD's confidence in the role cryptocurrency will play in future finance.
Over the years, LQWD's Bitcoin holdings have grown steadily, reaching 238.5 BTC in 2025. The company has adopted a "satoshis per share" metric to provide a more precise report of its Bitcoin reserves. One satoshi equals one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin, offering a way to show the exact value represented by each share, even as Bitcoin's price continues to rise. At current market prices, LQWD's Bitcoin reserves are worth around $28 million.
By expanding its reserves and advancing Lightning Network infrastructure, LQWD positions itself as both a treasury actor in Bitcoin and a technological developer. The Lightning Network, which enables near-instant, large-scale Bitcoin transactions with minimal fees, is key to LQWD's strategy of driving wider adoption of fast, secure, and low-cost digital payments.
LQWD holds Bitcoin on its balance sheet and uses it to power peer-to-peer transaction infrastructure on the Lightning Network. This approach not only serves as a long-term store of value but also supports real-world applications.
The "satoshis per share" method, which is gaining recognition in financial markets, is seen by LQWD as an educational tool and a step towards greater transparency in reporting digital assets. This method highlights fractional ownership, helping investors understand the real value of the assets behind each stake.
The recent private placement, conducted by institutional investors, marks another step in LQWD's long-term plan to bolster its balance sheet for further Bitcoin purchases. LQWD reports its balance in satoshis to help shareholders understand the true value backing each share.
By combining Bitcoin holdings with Lightning infrastructure, LQWD aims to strengthen its business model and promote widespread adoption of digital payments. This strategy is expected to contribute significantly to the growing recognition and acceptance of Bitcoin and digital payments in the financial world.
