Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 09 | Lightning yield update | Positive | -3.1% | Reported 60-day Lightning Network test with 8.9% annualized yield on 47.1 BTC. |

Positive Bitcoin strategy and financing news often saw mixed price reactions, with some private placement updates aligning positively while crypto yield news saw a divergence.
Over the past few months, LQWD focused on Bitcoin treasury expansion and Lightning Network yield generation. In September 2025, it announced and upsized a non-brokered private placement to raise up to C$2.5 million, mainly for Bitcoin purchases, with generally positive price alignment on placement announcements. The company then expanded its Bitcoin holdings to about 252.5 BTC, maintaining a debt-free balance sheet. An October update highlighted a 60-day Lightning Network test deploying 47.1 BTC and achieving an 8.9% annualized yield, though the stock traded lower after that news. Today’s ATM and AGM update fits into this capital and governance framework.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved -7.3% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite the company stating it has not used and does not intend to use its ATM could fit prior patterns where capital-structure headlines drew cautious responses. The AGM results kept a 5-director board and renewed a stock option plan allowing up to 10% of shares, which some might view as potential future dilution. Past financing news has produced varied outcomes, suggesting sentiment around equity flexibility can shift quickly.
