Benchmark Initiates Coverage of DDC Enterprise With Buy Rating, Targets 5,000 BTC by Year-End 2026

BTC-1.46%

Gate News message, April 27 — Benchmark initiated coverage of DDC Enterprise (NASDAQ: DDC) on Monday, assigning a Buy rating and $3 share price target. The analyst noted a “clear runway” for the Asian food platform company to more than double its bitcoin holdings in 2026.

As of April 21, DDC held 2,383 BTC and is targeting 5,000 BTC by year-end 2026. If achieved, the move would elevate the company from approximately the 30th-largest public bitcoin holder closer to the top 20. Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer highlighted DDC’s distinction among corporate bitcoin treasury firms, citing its established presence as a global Asian food platform with brands including DayDayCook, Nona Lim, and Yai’s Thai. The company’s accumulation strategy has relied on equity-linked deals and other purchases while maintaining balance sheet flexibility.

DDC reported $39.2 million in revenue for fiscal 2025, up 4.6% year-over-year, and achieved its first full year of positive adjusted EBITDA. Palmer identified a valuation disconnect, with DDC trading at a modified net asset value (mNAV) of approximately 0.45, while its net asset value per diluted share stands at $3.61—more than double its current share price of $1.65. Palmer also noted that DDC’s ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook meal business provides operational stability and additional revenue channels compared to pure-play bitcoin treasuries.

DDC has launched an AI-driven operating system for managing its bitcoin treasury accumulation, designed to aggregate data and guide capital allocation decisions within defined governance parameters.
