$100B in Crypto? How Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Stocks Became the Hottest Trend in Finance

What Are Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATs)? Digital Asset Treasury companies (often called DATs or DATCOs) are publicly traded firms whose core strategy is to hold crypto as a corporate treasury, instead of—or alongside—cash or traditional assets coindesk.com marketswiki.com. In practice, a DAT will raise capital (via stock or bond offerings) and immediately use the proceeds to buy digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) or other tokens.

Monster Strike x Haruhi Suzumiya Collaboration Leaked: Characters, Dates, and Gameplay Details
