Cardano Foundation Assets Drop 45% as ADA Price Slides

The Cardano Foundation's 2025 Activity and Financial Insights Report revealed a 45% drop in total assets, reaching $361 million compared to $659 million at the end of 2024. This decline largely reflects the downturn in ADA’s price. The foundation reduced its ADA holdings from 599 million to 561 million and Bitcoin holdings from 1,054 BTC to 656 BTC, intentionally shifting some Bitcoin into loans and investment schemes to ensure operational continuity. Simultaneously, financial assets tripled to $55 million, now comprising 25.5% of total holdings, providing enough capital to cover over a year of operations without selling crypto. Spending was allocated across technology (40.3%), adoption (39.6%), and governance (20.1%), with the first on-chain audit attestation by Grant Thornton Switzerland and the first Cardano treasury withdrawal for events like the Cardano Summit in Berlin. Looking ahead, the foundation will focus on real-world asset infrastructure, stablecoin expansion, and DeFi liquidity.
