币界网报道:Bakkt Holdings, the digital asset platform backed by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), has received shareholder approval for a proposal to potentially acquire up to $1 billion in Bitcoin. The plan, disclosed in an SEC filing, allows Bakkt to purchase Bitcoin through open market transactions or private deals over the next 24 months. CEO Gavin Michael stated the move aligns with the company's strategy to expand its crypto offerings and strengthen its position in digital asset markets. The approval comes as Bakkt shifts focus from its original institutional custody business to broader retail crypto services, including a recently launched consumer app. While the company hasn't committed to specific purchase amounts, the authorization provides flexibility to accumulate Bitcoin reserves as market conditions warrant. Bakkt's stock (BKKT) rose slightly following the announcement, though shares remain down over 90% from their 2021 peak. The decision reflects growing corporate interest in Bitcoin holdings despite recent market volatility.
