CaliberCos Inc. has committed 75,000 Chainlink (LINK) tokens from its treasury to a leading Chainlink node operator, marking a key milestone in the company’s Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy. The stake, announced on December 11, 2025, is intended to support the node’s validation of data and transactions across the Chainlink Network and to generate a token‑denominated yield for the company’s shareholders.
The move positions CaliberCos as the first Nasdaq‑listed company to adopt a treasury reserve policy centered on LINK. As of October 16, 2025, the company held 562,535 LINK tokens valued at approximately $10.1 million. By staking 75,000 tokens—roughly 13% of its total holdings—CaliberCos is deepening its exposure to the infrastructure that underpins the “internet of value.” Chainlink’s staking rewards for community stakers average around 5% per year, while node operators can earn up to 7%, providing a predictable income stream that complements the company’s real‑estate investment business.
CaliberCos’s decision to stake LINK comes amid a broader effort to diversify its asset base and generate yield in a low‑interest‑rate environment. CEO Chris Loeffler emphasized that the company is “committing capital to support the infrastructure that’s going to make the future of money work better.” The stake is part of a broader strategy that includes incremental LINK acquisitions since September 2025 and aims to provide public‑equity investors with transparent, mark‑to‑market exposure to digital‑finance infrastructure.
Despite the strategic upside, CaliberCos’s financial performance remains challenging. In Q3 2025, the company reported an earnings per share of –$1.65, missing analyst expectations of –$0.32 by 415.62%. Total revenue for the quarter was $3.64 million, falling short of the $4.52 million consensus. Net losses for the first nine months of 2025 reached $14.97 million, a 41.51% increase from the prior year, and the company has expressed doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to operating losses and upcoming debt maturities. These headwinds underscore the risk profile of the company’s digital‑asset initiatives.
The LINK staking initiative is therefore a double‑edged sword: it offers a potential yield and long‑term appreciation for investors, but it also represents a significant allocation of capital in a company that is still working to achieve profitability. Management’s focus on the digital‑asset strategy signals confidence in the long‑term value of blockchain infrastructure, while the financial data highlights the need for continued cost discipline and revenue growth in the core real‑estate business. Investors will likely weigh the potential upside of the staking rewards against the ongoing financial challenges when assessing CaliberCos’s future prospects.
The company’s announcement was well received by investors, reflecting enthusiasm for its first‑of‑its‑kind treasury policy and the broader shift toward blockchain‑based asset management. However, the financial context suggests that the stake is part of a broader strategy to stabilize cash flows rather than a standalone profit‑generating event.
The stake also aligns with Chainlink’s historical transaction value enabled (TVE) of $27 trillion, underscoring the scale of the network that CaliberCos is supporting. By tying its treasury to a network of this magnitude, the company is positioning itself to benefit from the continued growth of decentralized finance and the increasing demand for reliable oracle services.
