The company pointed to concerns surrounding exchange security and the looming threat of quantum computing when approving these actions.

It is important to note that Next Technology Holding confirmed that none of its Bitcoin assets are currently stored on the Binance platform.

This potential divestment comes amidst broader market anxieties, including the recent Binance hack.

The Nasdaq-listed entity is citing these security and technological risks as the impetus for considering the sales or loans.
