Nasdaq-listed real estate firm Caliber boosts Chainlink treasury holdings with $2 million purchase
Quick Take Caliber’s stock has swung sharply since adopting its Chainlink-focused treasury strategy, soaring in August before falling back under $4. The firm now holds about 562,500 LINK tokens worth over $10 million.
Nasdaq-listed Caliber (ticker CWD) said Thursday it purchased an additional $2 million worth of Chainlink’s LINK tokens as part of its digital asset treasury strategy.
The Scottsdale-based real estate and asset management firm acquired 94,903 LINK at an average price of $21.07, bringing its total holdings to 562,535 tokens valued at roughly $10.2 million.
Caliber first launched the strategy in August and claims to be the first Nasdaq-listed company to publicly anchor a corporate treasury in LINK .
The company said it plans to gradually build its LINK position over time "for long-term appreciation and generating yield through staking." Caliber manages about $2.9 billion in real assets across hospitality, multifamily, and industrial properties.
Shares of Caliber briefly surged above $9 in the weeks following its August announcement — their highest level since April — as investors bet on the company’s pivot toward digital assets. But the stock has since fallen back below $4, down roughly 73% year to date, giving Caliber a market capitalization of nearly $20 million.
Meanwhile, LINK is trading around $18.30 on Thursday, down about 24% from its August high near $24.40, according to The Block price data .

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
