Calibre (CWD), an investment firm managing both real estate and digital assets, has announced a $6.5 million purchase of Chainlink (LINK) as part of its long-term Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy. The move represents the firm’s largest crypto acquisition to date and positions it among the biggest publicly traded holders of LINK.
According to the company, Calibre acquired 278,011 LINK tokens at an average price of $23.38 per token, including fees. The purchase was funded through a mix of shelf registration, cash reserves, and equity-based securities. With the new addition, Calibre’s LINK holdings are valued at roughly $6.7 million.
The announcement follows Chainlink’s recent launch of the Chainlink Reserve, an on-chain pool of LINK designed to support the project’s ecosystem. The reserve is funded via Payment Abstraction, which channels both enterprise and on-chain revenues into LINK before allocating them to the pool. Notably, Calibre’s LINK balance now mirrors the size of the Chainlink Reserve, a symbolic alignment that CEO Chris Loeffler highlighted in the firm’s press release.
“We intentionally structured this purchase to align our treasury with the Chainlink Reserve,” Loeffler said. “Our goal is to reinforce our conviction that Chainlink’s oracle platform is foundational to the future of onchain finance. Importantly, this is just the beginning—we intend to expand our LINK reserve steadily and sustainably over time.”
Launched in August, Calibre’s DAT strategy centres on disciplined, incremental acquisitions aimed at averaging entry costs, staking rewards, and long-term growth. By becoming the first Nasdaq-listed company to pursue a LINK-based treasury, Calibre is offering its shareholders direct exposure to one of the most widely used blockchain oracle networks.
