Crypto Concerns Force Beckham-Backed Health Company To Stop Buying Bitcoin
Nasdaq-listed Prenetics, a health sciences company backed by David Beckham, has halted its daily Bitcoin purchases as of December 4, 2025, citing concerns over crypto market conditions. The company will retain its existing holdings of approximately 510 BTC but will not allocate further capital to Bitcoin accumulation. This decision follows a period of market weakness and comes after Prenetics raised $48 million in equity to support its rapidly growing consumer health brand, IM8. The brand has achieved over $100 million in annualized recurring revenue and is projected to generate $180–200 million in fiscal 2026. Management aims to prioritize business expansion and protect shareholder value while maintaining exposure to potential crypto gains through its current Bitcoin reserve.
