- DDC Enterprise
Led · Series A · Oct 2025
DDC Enterprise specializes in building and operating corporate Bitcoin treasuries, positioning itself as a conduit for institutional exposure to BTC. The firm has pledged to accumulate 10,000 BTC for its own balance sheet, which would place it among the world’s ten largest public holders of the asset. Complementing this goal, DDC inked a strategic agreement with Animoca Brands to oversee up to $100 million of the Web3 investor’s Bitcoin holdings and generate yield. Founder, Chairwoman, and CEO Norma Chu describes Bitcoin as both a store of value and macro hedge, and she has assembled a dedicated treasury team and crypto-native advisory board to pursue a “disciplined and risk-aware” acquisition strategy. Operationally, the company reported 2024 revenue of $37.4 million, a 33% year-over-year increase, with gross margins expanding from 25% to 28.4% thanks to U.S. acquisitions and cost controls. DDC’s aggressive BTC strategy mirrors moves by peers such as MicroStrategy and Metaplanet, aiming to capitalize on growing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as a balance-sheet asset.
