Cardano Foundation shifts away from ADA as Bitcoin and cash take larger share of reserves

The Cardano Foundation’s latest report reveals a significant shift in its reserve allocation, with Bitcoin and cash now comprising a larger share than ADA. Total assets decreased by 45% to $361 million, largely due to ADA’s 63% price drop over the past year. While the Foundation reduced its Bitcoin holdings by 37%, Bitcoin’s relative resilience compared to ADA resulted in it claiming a larger portion of the treasury. The Foundation is also diversifying into loans, collective investment schemes, and increased financial assets. Spending priorities have been restructured to focus on technology, adoption, and governance, with a particular emphasis on protocol enablement, developer tooling, and Web3 adoption initiatives like Veridian, a privacy-preserving identity platform. The Foundation aims to strengthen Cardano’s role in real-world asset infrastructure, stablecoin markets, and DeFi liquidity in 2026.
