$24 million BTC transaction and custody behind: How Matrixport helps Hong Kong listed company IBS build a "computing power + assets" dual-drive model

Recently, Matrixport, a global leading one-stop crypto financial services platform, has provided fiat trading and custody services for Hong Kong-listed company International Business Settlement Holdings Limited (IBS, HKEX code 0147). This collaboration has assisted IBS in completing the purchase of over $24 million in Bitcoin (BTC), with all assets fully custodied at Matrixport. Previously, IBS had completed approximately $12 million in BTC purchases and custody through Matrixport, and in the latest transaction, IBS further increased its purchase by about HKD 100 million (approximately $12.8 million) in BTC, further expanding its allocation in the digital asset space.

In addition, IBS has invested over $10 million to expand its digital infrastructure, demonstrating a comprehensive layout in the digital asset field. This series of actions not only marks the accelerated entry of traditional listed companies into the digital asset sector but also highlights Matrixport's comprehensive strength in compliance, professionalism, and one-stop services.

In its latest announcement, IBS stated that the company will conduct digital asset-related businesses through its joint venture, including computing power construction and cryptocurrency asset investment. Meanwhile, IBS has chosen to allocate $24 million in BTC through Matrixport's OTC trading and custody services, establishing a "computing power + assets" dual-drive model, showcasing IBS's long-term confidence in digital assets and recognition of Matrixport's compliance capabilities and professional services.

As a Hong Kong-listed company, IBS is particularly cautious in selecting partners. When it comes to large BTC transactions, compliance, fund security, and execution efficiency are the most important considerations. Matrixport, as a leading crypto financial services platform in Asia, has maintained a competitive edge in compliant operations and institutional-level services for a long time. After completing large BTC transactions through OTC services, clients can directly enter Matrixport's custody system, achieving a seamless connection between trading and asset management, thereby effectively reducing operational complexity and enhancing fund security and efficiency.

IBS's actions also send a signal: traditional listed companies are gradually entering the crypto market. In this trend, one-stop crypto financial service platforms with fiat trading and asset custody capabilities, like Matrixport, will gain more attention from the market. In the future, IBS and Matrixport will continue to maintain long-term cooperation in OTC trading and asset custody, working together to promote more institutions to participate in the digital asset ecosystem in a compliant and secure environment.
