The wind of listed companies buying coins has blown on AI altcoins

question micro-strategy, understand micro-strategy, and become micro-strategy.
Since MicroStrategy took the lead in adding Bitcoin (BTC) to its asset reserves in 2020, more and more U.S.-listed companies and even global companies have followed suit, and coin holding has become an obvious trend of stock currency circle.
As of 2025, the number of companies holding crypto assets has surged from the initial single digits to dozens.
However, this trend of corporate coin ownership has diverged into a number of different currents:
Bitcoin is still a safe choice with its strongest consensus; Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) have also attracted a lot of followers due to their widely recognised foundations;
Now, the wind is blowing even into the lesser altcoin space, such as Fetch.ai's $FET and Bittensor's $TAO in the AI sector.
Historically, ETH fell by about 26.7% in a single day in June 2022, SOL fell by 43% due to the bankruptcy of FTX in November 2022, and the vulnerability of AI coins is even more obvious - for example, the advent of the DeepSeek open-source AI model has triggered a collective retreat of AI Agent tokens on the market chain. FET and TAO, which have a larger market cap, have volatility of about 15% and 18% respectively over the past 30 days.
Is it feasible for listed companies to allocate these more volatile altcoins?
Who's laying out AI coins?
To answer this question, let's look at which companies are already deploying these AI tokens, as well as the strategies and risks behind them.
