About Us
Empery Digital initiated a treasury strategy committed to efficiently and cost effectively raising capital to acquire BTC, the company’s primary treasury asset. We believe BTC will become the primary store of value for the future and our goal is to become the leading, low cost, transparent, global aggregator.
Empery Digital was founded as the first all-electric power sports company sourcing high-quality and sustainable electric vehicles for the outdoor community. The power sports brand now operates under the name Empery Mobility. Empery Mobility’s electric vehicles are the future of off-roading, not only because of their environmental benefits but also because of their near-silent operation, which allows for a more immersive and enjoyable outdoor experience.
