Enlightify Becomes First Publicly Listed Company to Invest $20 Million in AI Cryptocurrency CYBER
July 18, 2025 | By Naoki Saito, Crypto Journalist
In a pioneering move for publicly traded companies, Enlightify Inc., listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), announced on July 17 its plan to acquire up to $20 million worth of CYBER tokens, the native cryptocurrency of the decentralized AI infrastructure project Cyber.
Strategic Long-Term Investment via Dollar-Cost Averaging
Enlightify disclosed that it will acquire CYBER tokens through open market purchases over the next 12 months. The company intends to employ a dollar-cost averaging strategy, gradually accumulating CYBER as a long-term reserve asset. Enlightify also noted that it will periodically review the asset’s status based on prevailing market conditions.
A Groundbreaking Allocation Among Public Companies
This allocation marks the first instance of a publicly listed corporation allocating a portion of its reserves into CYBER tokens. The decision reflects a strategic shift beyond passive holdings of major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), signaling growing institutional confidence in AI-driven blockchain infrastructures.
Corporate Restructuring Sets the Stage
This investment follows Enlightify’s June 25 restructuring of its subsidiary, Antaeus Tech, which leads the company’s blockchain business including staking and digital asset management. The restructuring helped establish frameworks for this new capital allocation into CYBER.
The growing synergy between AI technologies and blockchain infrastructure further supports the strategic rationale behind the move, positioning Cyber as an emerging focus for institutional investors.
Compliance and Transparency Assured
Enlightify emphasized that the CYBER token acquisition underscores its long-term commitment to Web3 infrastructure, with no plans for short-term sell-offs. The company’s transparent disclosure through formal filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been noted as an important milestone, reinforcing investor confidence.
The Cyber Foundation also welcomed Enlightify’s announcement, viewing it as a significant endorsement that enhances the ecosystem’s credibility.
