Nasdaq-listed firm to integrate BTC into blockchain-native reserve strategy
Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc., a Nasdaq-listed blockchain-focused fintech company, has announced plans to raise $800 million to establish a long-term Bitcoin (BTC) treasury reserve, marking one of the largest corporate BTC acquisitions to date.
“We’re building this Bitcoin treasury reserve based on our belief that Bitcoin will become an essential component of the future financial infrastructure,” said Shi Qiu, CEO of Mercurity Fintech.
Blockchain-Aligned Reserve Strategy
The treasury will be integrated into Mercurity’s blockchain-native framework, including:
- Custody solutions
- BTC staking integrations
- Tokenized treasury management tools
The firm intends to transition a portion of its treasury into a yield-generating, digital reserve structure, reinforcing both long-duration asset exposure and balance sheet resilience.
At current BTC prices (approx. $107,000), the raise would enable Mercurity to purchase around 7,433 BTC, firmly establishing its position as a key institutional player in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Corporate Bitcoin Adoption Accelerates
Mercurity’s move comes amid a growing wave of institutional interest in Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Recent data reveals:
- 223 public companies now hold Bitcoin in their treasuries, up from 124 as of June 5.
- Collectively, these firms hold over 819,000 BTC—about 3.9% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
“Corporate BTC adoption is driven by long-term balance sheet strategy, treasury diversification, and capital-raising activity,” a Binance Research spokesperson told Cointelegraph.
Altcoin Treasuries Also Emerging
While Bitcoin remains the primary institutional focus, altcoins are also gaining traction. For instance, Interactive Strength, another Nasdaq-listed firm, announced plans this week to raise $500 million to establish a treasury of Fetch.ai (FET) tokens.
Conclusion: BTC as a Strategic Asset Class
Mercurity’s aggressive BTC acquisition plan underscores a broader institutional trend: Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset—it is becoming a core treasury holding for companies seeking long-term, blockchain-aligned financial resilience.
With this $800 million raise, Mercurity is betting big on Bitcoin’s role in the future of finance—and could soon rank among the top corporate BTC holders globally.
