Company will Leverage Expertise of K25.ai’s Andy Cheung to Develop Digital Asset Treasury Strategy
BANGKOK, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewGenIVF Group Limited (Nasdaq: NIVF) ("NewGen" or the "Company"), a technology-driven, diversified growth company, today announced it has exercised its top-up option to acquire an additional
With the additional investment, NewGen is formally adopting a Digital Asset Treasury strategy designed to strengthen its reserve base, diversify strategic assets, and support long-term allocation into high-conviction growth themes, including AI, digital assets and information markets. The Digital Asset Treasury strategy marks a further step in positioning NewGen as a premier listed vehicle for the digital asset economy. The strategy is built on three core pillars:
- Long-Term Reserve Accumulation – NewGen intends to selectively acquire and hold high-quality digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL), as part of a disciplined long-term reserve strategy focused on balance sheet resilience and strategic asset growth.
- Disciplined Strategic Allocation – Reserve growth is expected to be funded through operating cash flow and, where value-accretive, prudent use of capital markets. The Company intends to evaluate performance through long-term reserve growth, asset quality, and digital assets held per share, rather than short-term market price movements.
- Institutional Custody and Risk-Controlled Yield – Digital asset holdings are expected to be safeguarded through institutional-grade custody, governance, and risk controls. Where appropriate, the Company may evaluate conservative yield opportunities, including staking, provided such activities are consistent with its long-term reserve strategy, risk framework, and applicable regulatory requirements.
Andy Cheung to Lead NewGen’s Digital Asset Treasury Strategy and AI and Prediction Market Allocation
To deepen strategic alignment with K25.ai and support NewGen’s next phase of growth, NewGen plans to invite K25.ai Founder and CEO Andy Cheung, together with two other K25.ai co-founders, to join the Company’s Board of Directors.
Mr. Cheung brings extensive public-company, digital asset, and technology leadership experience, including prior experience in digital asset treasury strategy and listed-company value creation. His involvement is expected to strengthen NewGen’s strategic execution as the Company advances its Digital Asset Treasury strategy and expands exposure to next-generation growth sectors.
NewGen intends to use its Digital Asset Treasury strategy as a disciplined strategic allocation framework, focusing on reserve diversification, long-term asset accumulation, and selective exposure to high-conviction growth themes, including AI, digital assets, and information markets. Through this strategy, the Company aims to enhance its balance sheet flexibility, support long-term shareholder value creation, and position itself as a listed platform with differentiated exposure to AI-powered information market infrastructure.
