Bitcoin Well (TSXV:BTCW,OTCQB:BCNWF) is a two-business-unit organization providing an ecosystem of products and services to make it easy for everyday people to use bitcoin. The company was established in Canada in 2013, has reached significant revenue growth year-over-year since, and has recently expanded the Online Bitcoin Portal to the US market.
Bitcoin Well earns revenue through its two core business lines, which include:
Bitcoin Well earns consistent cash flow through its existing fleet of Bitcoin ATMs. The company reinvests this cash flow into the Online Bitcoin Portal, which is a scalable growth product the company believes will see exponential adoption during the bitcoin bull run – which appears to be underway.
The Bitcoin market often makes headlines when it reaches new heights or lows, but it’s shown consistent growth over the long term. The price of Bitcoin surpassed the US$72,000 mark in March 2024 and is expected to continuously captivate investors’ interest as it follows the typical halving price cycle.
Bitcoin Well has passed significant milestones since its establishment in 2013:
Every product or service offered by the company is wrapped in the security of its non-custodial ecosystem. This is a hot topic right now as multiple custodial exchanges have collapsed in the last few years. The non-custodial ecosystem is widely seen by knowledgeable investors as the safest way to buy bitcoin.
In 2024, Bitcoin Well launched Cash Vouchers, which allow Canadian customers to make cash payments when buying bitcoin from the Bitcoin Portal. Cash Vouchers eliminate the barriers when using digital payments to use the Bitcoin Portal. Bitcoin Well is the only company able to offer this service.
The company intends to utilize its unique positioning of a large network of Bitcoin ATMs and a growing online Bitcoin Portal to begin combining the benefits and set itself out as a true differentiator. These unique differences allow for Bitcoin Well to offer their customer a stickier product with more offerings than other competitors which could open the door for a subscription model or other alternative customer revenue models.
The Bitcoin Well business strategy is embodied in two core product lines, designed to make it easier for everyday people to use bitcoin as part of their financial plans. Both offerings cater to different types of customers.
With more than 190 Bitcoin ATMs across Canada, the Bitcoin Well ATM network provides users a way to buy bitcoin quickly and safely with cash. This well-established, cash-flowing Bitcoin ATM business provides revenue to support the company’s accretive future growth.
This is the most scalable and future-oriented product. It offers the fastest and safest way for North Americans to buy, sell and use bitcoin. Launched in Q4 2022, this offering currently generates monthly revenues exceeding $4.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA of negative $0.35 million for the 3-months ended March 31, 2025 (Q1 2024: negative $0.43 million).

Total revenue in the first quarter of 2025 showed a significant 97% increase, reaching $31.8 million compared to $16.2 million in the same period of 2024. This growth was driven by a substantial increase in transaction volumes on both the Online Bitcoin Portal and Bitcoin Well Infinite.
Specifically, the Online segment experienced 111% revenue growth, reaching $15.2 million in Q1 2025, compared to $7.2 million in Q1 2024. Bitcoin Well Infinite also demonstrated strong growth, with a 374% increase in revenue, reaching $11.7 million, compared to $2.5 million in the previous year. This overall growth was partially offset by a decline in ATM sales, which decreased to $4.9 million in Q1 2025 from $6.5 million last year.
Bitcoin Well Founder and CEO Adam O'Brien announced the division of online sales into two separate business units starting in 2025: the Online Bitcoin Portal and the newly established Bitcoin Well Infinite business unit. Bitcoin Well Infinite facilitates large bitcoin transactions ($50,000 and above) for high-net-worth individuals and businesses in Canada, the USA, and internationally.
"We expect the strong revenue growth from both business units to continue throughout 2025," stated Adam O'Brien. "The Bitcoin Well Infinite high touch segment will offer a secure and personalized private banking-style solution with a self custody first approach for clients seeking long-term wealth preservation. With our strategic partnerships we are able to service regions broader than just Canada and the United States and have already facilitated transactions world-wide."
Gross profit for Q1 2025 saw a 35% increase to $1.1 million, compared to $0.8 million in Q1 of the previous year, attributed to higher revenue with the gross margin decreasing to 3.4% from 5.0% last year. This decrease was due to a shift in sales mix, with lower margin online and Bitcoin Well Infinite transactions now making up a larger share than high margin Bitcoin ATM sales.
Despite having a lower gross profit margin than Bitcoin ATMs, both the Bitcoin Portal and Bitcoin Well Infinite are more scalable and have lower expansion costs, making them the preferred business units for growth. Q1 2025 saw a gross margin of 1.5% in the Online Bitcoin Portal segment (compared to 0.7% in Q1 2024) and 1.8% in the Bitcoin Well Infinite segment (compared to 1.7% in Q1 2024).
Net income improved from a loss of $9.8 million in Q4 2024 to a positive $3.3 million in Q1 2025, primarily due to favourable fair value changes related to cryptocurrency loans and realized gains on the disposal of digital assets. Loss before other items saw a slight improvement, decreasing to $1.2 million from $1.3 million in Q1 2024.
This news release should be read in concert with the full disclosure documents. The Bitcoin W ell unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and Management Discussion & Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 will be available on the Bitcoin Well website ( www.bitcoinwell.com ), via SEDAR+ ( www.sedarplus.ca ) or can be requested from the Company.
The Company uses certain terms in this news release, such as ‘Adjusted EBITDA', which does not have a standardized or prescribed meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and accordingly, these measurements may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measurements used by other companies.
Please refer to the "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section in the Company's MD&A for applicable definitions, calculations, and rationale for use. Non-IFRS measures are provided as supplementary information by which readers may wish to consider the Company's performance, but should not be relied upon for comparative or investment purposes.

Edmonton, Alberta TheNewswire - April 10, 2025 Bitcoin Well Inc. (" Bitcoin Well " or the " Company ") ( TSXV: BTCW; OTCQB: BCNWF ), the non-custodial bitcoin business on a mission to enable independence announces the addition of the Lightning Network for selling bitcoin on the Bitcoin Portal in the USA and a shares for debt settlement.
Customers can now go directly from bitcoin in their personal Lightning wallets directly to dollars in their bank using the Lightning Network. This will enable smaller transactions with fewer fees for customers of the Bitcoin Portal at bitcoinwell.com, increasing their independence.
Now, when a customer wants to sell bitcoin, they will enter the amount of dollars they want to receive, select their connected bank account, and choose between the Bitcoin and Lightning Network.
Previously, when the customer would sell bitcoin over the Bitcoin Network they had to pay mining fees and wait 4 confirmations before the transfer to their bank was initiated. Now it will happen instantly, with no fees thanks to the addition of the Lightning Network into the Bitcoin Portal at bitcoinwell.com.
Further, due to the non-custodial nature of the Bitcoin Portal, Bitcoin Well customers can hold bitcoin in their wallets longer and benefit from a smoother customer experience. With other platforms the customer would need to fund their bitcoin account balance (which puts their funds at risk), sell the bitcoin and then request the withdrawal to their bank.
From their Bitcoin Well account this happens in one single action. Directly from bitcoin in their personal wallets, to cash in their bank.
The Company is indebted to certain creditors in the total amount of $139,817 as of March 31, 2025 (the "Outstanding Debt"), pursuant to certain use of bitcoin agreements and a convertible debenture agreement (collectively, the "Agreements"). The Outstanding Debt is interest accrued under the Agreements. Bitcoin Well has elected to settle $104,155 of the Outstanding Debt by issuing 801,190 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") at a deemed price of $0.13 per Share and will settle $35,662 of the Outstanding Debt by issuing 342,903 Shares at a deemed price of $0.104 per Share (the "Debt Settlement"). The Debt Settlement remains subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. All Shares issued in satisfaction of the Outstanding Debt will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day.
It is anticipated that a director of the Company will participate in the Debt Settlement through a wholly owned subsidiary. Such participation will be considered to be a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the related party participation in the Debt Settlement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61- 101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it will involve interested parties, is expected to exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

Bitcoin Well Inc. (TSXV: BTCW) (OTCQB: BCNWF) ("Bitcoin Well" or the "Company"), the non-custodial bitcoin business on a mission to enable independence, announced today that it has established an at-the-market equity program (the "ATM Program") that allows the Company to issue and sell, at its discretion, up to $5,000,000 of common shares ("Shares") to the public from time to time.
Distributions of the Shares under the ATM Program will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") dated March 28, 2025 between Bitcoin Well and Haywood Securities Inc. (the "Agent"). All Shares sold under the ATM Program will be sold through the TSX Venture Exchange or other recognized Canadian marketplace at prevailing market prices at the time of sale.

The ATM Program is intended to provide the Company with additional financing flexibility should it be required in the future. The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined in the Company's sole discretion. As Shares distributed under the ATM program will be sold at the prevailing market price at the time of sale, prices may vary among purchasers during the term of the ATM Program.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program, if any, together with the Company's current cash resources, to fund general corporate purposes, including ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements; to repay indebtedness outstanding from time to time; to complete future acquisitions; to fund research and development, intellectual property development; or for other corporate purposes.
The offering of Shares under the ATM Program is qualified by a prospectus supplement dated March 28, 2025 (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the short form base shelf prospectus dated March 6, 2025 (the "Shelf Prospectus").

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$103,243 as markets closed, down 1 percent in 24 hours. The day's range for the cryptocurrency has seen a low of US$102,964 and a high of US$104,836.

Ethereum's (ETH) price has stabilized since surging after the May 7 Pectra upgrade. ETH has increased by over 44 percent since last week and is up 57.2 percent month-on-month. It finished Wednesday at US$2,586.72, a 1 percent decrease over 24 hours. The day's range saw a low of US$2,571.87 and a high of US$2,708.81.
A new Financial Times documentary has reignited scrutiny over Strategy’s (NASDAQ:MSTR) high-risk Bitcoin accumulation strategy, which has transformed the software firm into a de facto Bitcoin investment vehicle.
The company has acquired over 568,000 BTC since 2020, funding the purchases through repeated stock sales and convertible bond issuances totaling over US$12 billion.
Insider Jeff Walton, a former reinsurance broker turned Strategy advocate, has called the firm’s capital-raising feat “insane,” highlighting how it raised the equivalent of US$100 million 120 times in just 50 days.
Critics also warn that the model’s success is contingent on sustained Bitcoin price growth; any prolonged downturn could unravel investor confidence and the firm's market cap. Meanwhile, supporters argue the move is a master stroke in capital deployment, leveraging valuation premiums to secure more digital assets without diluting core equity value.
Strategy Chair Michael Saylor claims the firm’s balance sheet is “bulletproof,” stating that even a 90 percent Bitcoin drop held for half a decade would not destabilize the company.
Artificial intelligence search startup Perplexity has entered into a partnership with payments giant PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) to enable seamless purchases directly within its chat interface.
Starting this summer in the US, users of Perplexity Pro will be able to book travel, buy tickets or purchase goods through a single query — without manually inputting payment information. Transactions will be processed behind the scenes using PayPal or Venmo, streamlining everything from checkout to invoicing while eliminating the need for passwords.
The companies are calling the deal a major leap for “agentic commerce.” The partnership is expected to integrate Perplexity’s tools into PayPal’s 430 million active accounts, dramatically expanding the reach of both platforms.
Backed by tech titans like Jeff Bezos, Nvidia, and SoftBank, Perplexity is also reportedly in talks to raise US$500 million in fresh capital at a US$14 billion valuation, showing investor confidence in the model.
Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) will officially join the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) on May 19, replacing Discover Financial Services following its acquisition by Capital One Financial (NYSE:COF).
Shares of Coinbase surged 24 percent on the news, marking its largest single-day rally since November 2016. Analysts say inclusion in the S&P 500 not only legitimizes Coinbase’s role in the financial system, but could also drive as much as US$16 billion in fresh inflows from passive index funds, according to Bernstein.
The stock has also drawn new bullish forecasts, with Oppenheimer raising its target price to US$293 while maintaining an "outperform" rating. This development comes on the heels of Coinbase’s strong first quarter earnings report, which beat earnings per share expectations, but slightly missed on revenue.
Coinbase recently announced plans to acquire crypto derivatives exchange Deribit for US$2.9 billion, a deal that represents the largest acquisition in the industry to date.
Thailand’s finance ministry announced it will issue 5 billion baht (US$150 million) worth of blockchain-based “G-Tokens” within the next two months as part of the government’s borrowing strategy. The issuance follows cabinet approval, and will function as a market test to gauge public appetite for blockchain-based debt instruments.
Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said the tokens will offer higher returns than traditional bank deposits, which currently yield between 1.25 and 1.5 percent — below the central bank’s 1.75 percent policy rate.
Retail investors will be able to participate with relatively small capital as the government aims to democratize access to high-yield investment tools. The initiative reflects growing enthusiasm within Thailand for blockchain innovation; last year, the country exempted crypto earnings from taxation and expanded stablecoin trading on local exchanges.
Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD)has agreed to acquire Canadian crypto firm WonderFi (TSX:WNDR,OTCQB:WONDF) in an all-cash deal worth C$250 million (US$179 million).
WonderFi operates Bitbuy and Coinsquare — two of Canada’s largest registered crypto exchanges — with more than C$2.1 billion (US$1.5 billion) in assets under custody. The deal, expected to close in the second half of the year, marks Robinhood’s third major crypto acquisition following its purchases of Bitstamp and TradePMR in the past year.
WonderFi’s recent history has been tumultuous: its CEO Dean Skurka was kidnapped last year in a US$1 million ransom plot that ultimately cost the company US$3.6 billion in damages and security upgrades.
Monday (May 12) to Friday (May 16) is Canada Crypto Week, and the Investing News Network will be reporting on key developments from both the Blockchain Futurist and Consensus conferences, highlighting exclusive insights from industry leaders. Stay tuned for coverage of major themes, expert presentations and one-on-one interviews.

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$103,116 as markets closed for the week, up 2 percent in 24 hours.
The day's range has seen a low of US$102,526 and a high of US$103,636. After breaking through the US$100,000 threshold on Thursday (May 8), the digital asset has found support.

The crypto market’s surge is attributed to positive geopolitical developments, particularly surrounding a US-UK trade agreement and optimism over upcoming trade talks with China.
A better-than-expected jobs report also reignited institutional interest. Meanwhile, the MOVE index has cooled from its late March-early April spike, encouraging broader risk-taking across financial markets.
On the technical side, Bitcoin’s realized cap has hit an all-time high above US$893 million. Cointelegraph’s Marcel Pechman notes that strong options activity suggests that prices above US$105,000 could fuel further gains. Analyst Egrag Crypto is forecasting a rally to US$170,000, contingent on Bitcoin breaking past its previous all-time high of US$109,000.
However, with Bitcoin’s relative strength index approaching 70, overbought conditions are emerging, and investors are urged to be cautious of short-term volatility.
Ethereum's (ETH) price surge has outperformed that of Bitcoin and can be attributed to an increase in transactions following Wednesday's (May 7) Pectra upgrade. ETH’s price has increased by over 25 percent from last week and 42 percent month-on-month. It finished the week at US$2,325.35, a 10 percent increase over 24 hours.
The day's range saw a low of US$2,288.24 and a high of US$2,372.09.
Coinbase has announced plans to acquire Deribit, a leading crypto derivatives exchange, for $2.9 billion — the largest deal in the crypto industry to date. This strategic move positions Coinbase to expand its offerings in the crypto options market, catering to the growing demand for advanced trading products.
The acquisition includes US$700 million in cash and 11 million shares of Coinbase Class A common stock.
Deribit, which processed US$1.2 trillion in trading volume last year, controls approximately 85 percent of the global crypto options market. This deal is expected to enhance Coinbase's presence in the international derivatives market and diversify its revenue streams. Analysts view the acquisition as a significant step for Coinbase to compete with other major exchanges like Binance and Kraken in the derivatives space. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is anticipated to close later this year. Until then, Deribit will continue its operations as usual.
Rumble’s (NASDAQ:RUM) CEO confirmed the firm will launch a Bitcoin and stablecoin wallet to compete with the Coinbase Wallet in Q3. The Rumble Wallet will launch in partnership with Tether.
“Our goal is to become the most prominent non-custodial Bitcoin and stablecoin wallet, powering the creator economy,” according to a May 9 (Friday) X post by Chris Pavlovski.
On the earnings front, Rumble reported a net loss of US$2.7 million for Q1 on Thursday, a significant improvement over the US$43 million loss reported in Q1 2024. The company’s revenue of US$23.7 million exceeded analysts’ estimates; however, the firm reported a decrease in monthly active users to 59 million, down from 68 million in Q4 2024.
Rumble opened 2.44 percent higher on Friday (May 9) and closed the week with a gain of over 17 percent.
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) is reportedly in discussions with cryptocurrency enterprises regarding the potential implementation of stablecoins for select, smaller-scale creator disbursements.
Five informed sources told Fortune that the corporation has engaged in consultative deliberations with multiple cryptocurrency infrastructure providers, albeit without having yet settled upon a definitive strategic approach.
An insider suggests that the entity may adopt a multi-token framework, encompassing the integration of established stablecoins such as Tether's USDt and Circle's USD Coin, amongst other alternatives.
This news comes the day after Democratic lawmakers withdrew support for the GENIUS Act after concerns arose over the lucrative crypto dealings of companies tied to US President Donald Trump. The bill stalled on the floor of the Senate, prompting a public statement from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:
“This bill represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to expand dollar dominance and US influence in financial innovation. Without it, stablecoins will be subject to a patchwork of state regulations instead of a streamlined federal framework."
Alex Mashinsky, founder and former CEO of Celsius Network, has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for defrauding customers and manipulating the price of the company's CEL token.
Between 2018 and 2022, Mashinsky misled investors about the safety of their funds, using customer deposits to inflate CEL's value and personally profiting over US$48 million. Celsius, which once managed over US$25 billion in assets, collapsed in 2022 amid a broader crypto market downturn, leaving thousands of users unable to access their funds.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is “considering a potential exemptive order” to let crypto firms bypass requirements to register as a broker-dealer, clearing agency exchange to issue, trade and settle securities. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce made the announcement in a speech published on Thursday.
Companies would still be expected to comply with rules to prevent fraud and market manipulation and may also need to meet certain disclosure and recordkeeping requirements.

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$96,171.23 as markets closed, up 1.3 percent in 24 hours. The day's range has seen a low of US$95,967.46 and a high of US$97,387.02.
Bitcoin performance, May 7, 2025.

Bitcoin showed signs of a bullish reversal leading up to the US Federal Reserve’s Wednesday interest rate decision. Roughly US$83.6 million in short Bitcoin positions were liquidated on Wednesday, significantly more than the US$15 million in long liquidations, indicating strong upward momentum. Bitcoin open interest has also increased by a notable percentage over the last 24 hours, adding to a nearly 30 percent increase over the last 30 days.
Analysts have noted that holding above US$95,000 will be crucial for a potential climb towards Bitcoin’s all-time high, while dropping below risked a significant fall. The next target is near US$98,000, with a longer-term target around US$100,200 if that resistance breaks. However, analysts for CryptoQuant have also pointed to significant profit-taking as a potential headwind that could interrupt this upward trend.
Ethereum (ETH) finished the trading day at US$1,797.11, a 0.6 percent increase over the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency reached an intraday low of US$1,792.06 and saw a daily high of US$1,831.84.
New Hampshire has officially become the first US state to greenlight a cryptocurrency reserve after Governor Kelly Ayotte signed House Bill 302 into law.
The measure authorizes the state treasurer to invest up to 5 percent of public funds in digital assets with a market cap above US$500 billion — effectively limiting the scope to Bitcoin for now.
The assets, along with precious metals, will be held either via a secure custodian or an exchange-traded product. The law goes into effect in 60 days and marks a significant milestone in state-level crypto adoption.
Unlike the federal government’s stagnant plans for a bitcoin reserve, New Hampshire is moving ahead with direct investment. Advocates hope the move will inspire similar initiatives in other states and potentially drive further institutional interest in Bitcoin.
President Donald Trump’s growing involvement in the crypto sector is intensifying partisan divisions in Congress and jeopardizing progress on digital asset legislation.
A hearing that was set to lay groundwork for crypto market regulation was abruptly cancelled after Rep. Maxine Waters voiced strong objections, citing Trump’s self-promotional crypto ventures as a conflict of interest.
Trump’s $TRUMP meme coin and his partial ownership of World Liberty Financial have drawn criticism from ethics experts and lawmakers alike. Democrats argue that advancing regulation while the former president promotes personal crypto investments creates a perception of impropriety.
Meanwhile, the administration defends the projects, stating Trump’s assets are held in a trust and pose no conflict. Nonetheless, legislative momentum on crypto has clearly slowed, with bipartisan collaboration now under strain.
Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls in New Jersey are leaning into crypto policy as a key plank of their campaigns, signaling a broader political shift.
A Bloomberg exclusive reports that leading candidates like Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop have publicly endorsed integrating digital assets into state governance.
Fulop even proposes allocating part of the state’s pension fund to Bitcoin ETFs, a move he previously advanced at the city level. Rep. Josh Gottheimer, another contender, has framed crypto as a driver of economic growth and has backed federal legislation aimed at regulating the industry.
With Donald Trump having successfully capitalized on crypto enthusiasm in his reelection campaign, Democrats are recalibrating their stance to stay competitive.
The growing acceptance of digital assets among candidates suggests crypto will remain a prominent topic in the 2025 election cycle.
Ethereum's Pectra upgrade, featuring the Prague execution layer hard fork and the Electra consensus layer upgrade, went live on the Ethereum mainnet at about 10:00 am UTC on Wednesday at the start of epoch 364032.
The three main Ethereum improvement proposals (EIPs) included are EIP-7702, EIP-7251 and EIP-7691, which aim to improve user-friendliness and efficiency.
EIP-7702 will enable externally owned accounts to function like smart contracts, handling gas fees and payments in various tokens. EIP-7251 will raise the validator staking limit to 2,048 ETH, streamlining operations for large stakers. Lastly, EIP-7691 will increase data blobs per block, enhancing layer-2 scalability and potentially lowering transaction costs.
The change comes as the growth of Ethereum's total value locked has lagged behind that of Solana and BNB Chain this year. Artemis data reveals a net outflow of US$50.7 billion for Ethereum year-over-year, contrasting with US$8.3 billion for Base and US$5.8 billion for Solana. However, in the month leading up to the upgrade, Ethereum experienced higher inflows than both Base and Solana.
Despite gold outperforming bitcoin in price appreciation this year, BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has outshined traditional gold funds in net inflows.
Since January, IBIT has drawn nearly US$7 billion, surpassing the SPDR Gold Trust, which brought in US$6.5 billion over the same period.
The ETF’s success comes even as Bitcoin prices have lagged behind gold’s recent surge, reflecting institutional faith in digital assets’ long-term value.
Analysts say this trend underscores a shift in investor behavior, with many viewing Bitcoin as a digital complement — or even replacement — for gold.
Analysts now believe bitcoin ETFs could triple gold’s assets under management within the next five years.
Strive Asset Management, an enterprise founded by former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, revealed plans to transition into a Bitcoin treasury company on Wednesday.
According to the announcement, the transition will be accomplished by a reverse merger with publicly traded Asset Entities (NASDAQ:ASST). The company will operate under the Strive brand, and will likely continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ASST for the foreseeable future. The merged entity will leverage its combined stock value and access to public equity markets to fund further Bitcoin acquisitions.
“Strive Asset Management intends to use all available mechanisms to build a Bitcoin war chest in a minimally dilutive manner to common shareholders and build a long-term investment approach designed to outperform Bitcoin, by using Bitcoin itself as the hurdle rate for capital deployment," Strike said in its release.
Metaplanet (OTCQX:MTPLF,TSE:3350) purchased an additional 555 Bitcoin on Wednesday for US$53.4 million at an average price of US$96,134. The purchase is valued at over US$536 million at current prices.
The company now holds 5,555 BTC, purchased for US$481.5 million at an average price of US$86,672 per Bitcoin, according to CEO Simon Gerovich. The company also announced the issuance of another US$25 million in zero-coupon ordinary bonds to fund additional BTC buys.
