Satsuma faces mounting pressure as Pantera Capital pushes the firm to sell its $50 million Bitcoin holdings and return capital. The request follows a sharp drop in Satsuma’s share price and weaker digital asset markets. Meanwhile, Satsuma reviews its options while balancing shareholder demands and its treasury strategy.

Satsuma Faces Shareholder Pressure Over Bitcoin Holdings

Satsuma confirmed that some shareholders requested a return of capital tied to its Bitcoin reserves. Consequently, Satsuma began evaluating ways to address those demands without harming broader shareholder interests. The company has not reached a final decision on whether to liquidate its holdings.

Pantera Capital holds about a 7% stake in Satsuma and leads calls for the Bitcoin sale. The request targets Satsuma’s remaining 646 BTC, valued near $50 million at current prices. This pressure has intensified after earlier disputes over treasury decisions.

Satsuma previously sold nearly half its Bitcoin to repay note holders who declined equity conversion. As a result, that move triggered disagreements with several backers, including Pantera. Leadership changes followed, and Satsuma replaced key executives after the dispute.

Satsuma Strategy Struggles Under Market Conditions

Satsuma adopted its Bitcoin treasury model in August 2025 after raising about $220 million. The firm positioned itself among companies using Bitcoin as a reserve asset. However, market conditions shifted, and Satsuma now faces reduced asset values and weaker equity performance.

Bitcoin trades significantly below its peak, which has affected treasury-focused companies like Satsuma. The asset currently trades near $77,536, reflecting a steep decline from earlier highs. Satsuma’s valuation dropped below the worth of its Bitcoin holdings.

Satsuma shares have fallen more than 99% from their June 2025 peak. This decline reflects both broader market weakness and internal strategy challenges. As a result, Satsuma now trades at a level that raises questions about its treasury model.

Satsuma Position Remains Limited in Treasury Market

Satsuma ranks 57th among corporate Bitcoin holders based on current data. The company holds 646 BTC, which remains modest compared to larger firms in the sector. This position limits Satsuma’s influence within the broader treasury landscape.

Strategy leads the segment with over 815,000 BTC, creating a wide gap from Satsuma’s holdings. Satsuma operates at a much smaller scale within the corporate Bitcoin space. The difference highlights the uneven distribution of Bitcoin reserves across companies.

Satsuma now faces a clear decision between maintaining its Bitcoin strategy and returning capital. Shareholder demands continue to shape the discussion around its next move. The outcome will determine whether Satsuma continues its treasury model or shifts direction.
