This Penny Stock Is Betting Big on the Avalanche Crypto. Should You Buy Shares Here?

AgriFORCE (AGRI) shares more than tripled today after the agriculture-technology firm joined a growing list of businesses announcing crypto treasury strategies in 2025.

On Monday, the company based out of Vancouver, Canada revealed plans of raising roughly $550 million to load up on AVAX (AVAXUSD), the native token of the Avalanche network.

While AgriFORCE stock has pared back much of its intraday gains in recent hours, at one point, it was seen trading nearly 310% up versus year-to-date low.www.barchart.com

Why Did AgriFORCE Stock Soar on AVAX News?

AGRI investors are reading the crypto announcement as largely positive, especially since the firm has picked high-profile names like Anthony Scaramucci and Brett Tejpaul to lead its strategic advisory board.

The crypto treasury initiative positions AGRI stock as a publicly traded gateway to institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure.

According to the AgriFORCE’s press release, it will load up on AVAX tokens and onboard fintech businesses onto the Avalanche network to create a “Berkshire Hathaway of the on-chain economy.”

For crypto bulls, this represents a rare chance to gain direct exposure to Avalanche via a Nasdaq-listed vehicle (AGRI stock).

Should You Invest in AGRI Stock Today?

Despite the flashy crypto pivot, investors should tread with caution on AgriFORCE mostly because it remains a micro-cap penny stock with troubling financials.

This often means unusual volatility and increased vulnerability to manipulation. What’s also worth mentioning is that the Nasdaq-listed firm has previously struggled to gain traction with its original agri-tech and Bitcoin (BTCUSD) mining ventures.

Meanwhile, AGRI stock does not currently receive coverage from Wall Street analysts either. Put together with minimal revenue and a lack of sustained profitability, this makes AgriFORCE shares rather overvalued at current levels.

In short, the sudden surge in AGRI shares today feels more like meme stock mania than a reflection of business strength. Without execution, this rally could unravel just as quickly.
