Bitcoin Policy UK believes that U.K. citizens need to speak up if the British government is going to get policy and regulation around Bitcoin right.

Hence, they’ve launched an easy-to-use app that helps Brits send a letter to their MPs to advocate for Bitcoin and Bitcoin-adjacent topics (e.g., CBDCs).

I never expected a jetlagged morning in Las Vegas would change my life, let alone spark hope on the other side of the world. But that’s what happened when I — a consultant, ex-Deloitte, and fundraiser with nine years of experience in the nonprofit sector — landed at the Bitcoin Conference Las Vegas looking for something bigger than “business as usual.” Fundraising had started to feel like… well, just fundraising for the sake of fundraising.

What surprised me most, though, was how quickly I found myself swept up by the conference energy. On my very first day, I ended up volunteering with the Open Source Hub. There, I was able not only to help build bridges between…

Crypto exchange Gemini has achieved a major milestone by receiving a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The approval makes Gemini the fifth exchange to secure such a license in Malta, alongside Bitpanda, Crypto.com, OKX, and ZBX. This step strengthens Gemini’s push to expand across Europe with a clear regulatory framework in place.

The Winklevoss-owned platform highlighted that the license allows it to offer secure and compliant crypto products across more than 30 European jurisdictions. Gemini noted that regulatory clarity is essential for global crypto adoption, praising Europe’s forward-thinking stance under MiCA. The license comes shortly after Gemini filed for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker “GEMI,” further signaling its ambitious growth strategy.

Alongside its MiCA approval, Gemini already holds a MiFID II license, enabling derivatives trading in the EU. The exchange has also introduced tokenized stock offerings on Arbitrum, giving European users 24/7 access to trade tokenized shares, joining competitors like Kraken and Robinhood in the growing tokenized equity space.

Hong Kong-based construction company Ming Shing Group Holdings Limited has announced plans to acquire 4,250 Bitcoin for approximately $483 million, marking another significant entry into the growing roster of corporate Bitcoin treasury holders.

Bitcoin price remained steady at $113,000 as the NASDAQ-listed company (MSW) revealed it has entered into a Bitcoin purchase agreement with Winning Mission Group Limited at an average price of $113,638 per Bitcoin. The transaction, expected to close by December 31, 2025, will be financed through convertible promissory notes and share warrants rather than cash.

The Era of Easy Differentiation Is Over

There was a time when holding Bitcoin was enough. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) proved it in 2020—simply moving idle cash into Bitcoin electrified markets, drove premiums above NAV, and rewrote corporate playbooks. But five years later, the battlefield has changed.

Dozens of public companies across Japan, France, the U.S., the U.K., Sweden, Canada, and Brazil now run Bitcoin treasury strategies. ETFs have captured billions in flows. El Salvador holds it as sovereign reserve. In this environment, “we own Bitcoin” is no longer a differentiator.

If a company cannot compete on size, speed, or scale, it must assemble alternative sources of…

Hong Kong-based Ming Shing Group Holdings has announced a landmark move into digital assets, agreeing to acquire 4,250 bitcoins valued at nearly $483 million. The NASDAQ-listed construction firm signed the deal with Winning Mission Group Limited, marking its first step toward a bitcoin treasury strategy. The purchase is expected to close by December 31, 2025, with payments structured through convertible promissory notes and share warrants.

As part of the deal, half of the transaction was assigned to Rich Plenty Investment Limited, which issued a promissory note equivalent to 2,125 bitcoins. Both the seller and the assignee will receive convertible notes and warrants, enabling them to acquire up to 201.2 million ordinary shares. The notes carry a 3% annual interest rate over ten years, while the warrants allow share purchases for 12 years, both subject to ownership caps.

Ming Shing CEO Wenjin Li said the move strengthens the company’s balance sheet with digital assets. “This acquisition allows us to benefit from bitcoin’s liquidity and potential long-term growth,” Li stated, highlighting a rising trend among Asian firms diversifying into cryptocurrencies.
