Prenetics Ends Bitcoin Buying, Redirects Capital to IM8 Growth

The company targets IM8 expansion with FY2026 revenue guidance of $180–$200 million.

Overview

  • Prenetics stopped daily bitcoin purchases on December 4 and will make no further acquisitions, retaining 510 BTC as a treasury reserve.
  • Capital will be allocated exclusively to IM8’s growth initiatives, including product development, brand building, talent, working capital, and international expansion.
  • IM8 surpassed $100 million in annualized recurring revenue within 11 months and leverages high-profile backing from David Beckham and Aryna Sabalenka.
  • The company reports a strong balance sheet with over $70 million in cash and cash equivalents and zero debt.
  • The pivot follows an October $48 million raise that had included plans to build a bitcoin treasury and comes as more firms reassess crypto-heavy treasury strategies.
