Amid the hacker-driven crypto theft surge, the first company to sell off its crypto holdings has emerged. Some are fleeing AI; others are fleeing Bitcoin—but we all have a bright future ahead. Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market-listed Iole (@eole_JP, ticker: 2334) announced on October 30 that its board resolved to gradually sell all 151.21 BTC through cryptocurrency exchanges from October 30 through the end of November. It’s a clear exit, switching gears—with a reported paper loss of 2.5 billion JPY. What’s puzzling, however, is the explicit statement that the company will continue holding the $HYPE token purchased starting July 2026? What’s the reasoning behind this?
