SEGG Media Establishes $300 Million Bitcoin Treasury

SEGG Meida's 80/20 Strategy

$300M Split—80/20 Bet on Treasury and Tokens. The blueprint, detailed in a GlobeNewswire press release, allocates $240 million (80%) to a diversified crypto treasury, focusing on Bitcoin for its “ value recovery ” amid 2.8% CPI inflation, supplemented by ETH for DeFi yield (4% APY) and several altcoins for growth.

The remaining $60 million is aimed at strategic issuer purchases, notably ZIGChain’s ZIGChain token— a blockchain for sports fan engagement and NFT royalties —to integrate tokenized assets into SEGG’s platform for fan-voted content and metaverse events.

CEO [Removed for Privacy] a former ESPN executive has framed the plan as “connecting the passion for sports to the programmable future of crypto,” with treasury yields funding R&D for AI-driven highlight clips and tokenized memorabilia. Initial deployment: $ 100 million in BTC via OTC exchanges, with custody via Coinbase Prime for regulatory compliance. The $30-50 million ZIG acquisition aims to take a 10% stake in the issuer, leveraging SEGG’s 50 million global users to boost liquidity.

This yield is similar to Metaplanet's 497% yield but extended to entertainment: Tokenized sports rights can generate 5-7% APY through on-chain royalties, far exceeding the 2% yield of traditional media.

Sports Technology into Cryptocurrency Treasury

SEGG Media, which is listed on Nasdaq from 2023 with a capitalization of $150 million, has pivoted from sports streaming (10 million MAU) to Web3 hybrid platforms, raising $100 million through equity for blockchain R&D.

Treasuries launched in line with the 2025 enterprise crypto boom —Bit Digital’s $1.55 billion ETH vault, Metaplanet’s $525 million SOL vault —protect the sports entertainment industry’s $500 billion TAM from fiat erosion.

The acquisition by issuer ZIGChain —a Layer 1 for the fan economy —aims for tokenized tickets and royalties, tapping into $50 billion worth of NFT volume. Dilution from equity growth and BTC volume (implies 25%), but 80% treasury allocation mitigates risk with a 4% yield.

Evaluation and Conclusion

SEGG Media’s Bitcoin Treasury highlights a paradigm shift in corporate risk management. The move is both an inflation hedge and a branding strategy. In an age where digital trust and decentralized networks are increasingly central to global business models, exposure to Bitcoin is not just a financial tool but a statement of corporate identity—positioning the company at the intersection of finance, technology, and media influence.

Analysts note that SEGG’s diversification reflects a larger institutional shift: where corporate treasuries move from passive fiat reserves to active digital capital portfolios that combine liquidity management with network participation. This hybrid model—which combines traditional financial oversight with on-chain transparency—could become the standard for corporate finance 3.0.
