Swedish-listed health tech firm H100 Group has secured a $15.82 million convertible loan from Adam Back the CEO of Blockstream to ramp up its Bitcoin accumulation. The funding is part of a larger agreement aimed at expanding the company’s long-term crypto treasury strategy. H100 plans to acquire more Bitcoin in multiple phases using structured financing.

The deal marks the second major crypto-related investment for H100 Group in just a few weeks. In late May the company raised $2.2 million through 0 percent interest convertible loans. Back contributed $1.4 million while other notable investors like Morten Klein and Crafoord Capital Partners added another $800000 collectively.

H100’s aggressive move reflects a growing trend among European companies turning to Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Other firms including The Smarter Web Company and Abraxas Capital have made similar high-stakes investments. The trend continues despite warnings from analysts who see corporate Bitcoin holdings as risky and potentially unsustainable.

Crypto investment funds managed by major firms like BlackRock Fidelity Grayscale and Bitwise saw a massive $1.9 billion in net inflows globally last week. This marks the ninth straight week of positive gains bringing total year-to-date inflows to a record $13.2 billion. Despite global tensions digital assets continued to attract investors along with traditional safe havens like gold.

Bitcoin led the recovery with $1.3 billion in inflows after two weeks of minor outflows. Most of this came from US spot Bitcoin ETFs while Ethereum-based products added $585 million in inflows extending their strong run to $2 billion since February. XRP and Sui-based funds also saw renewed interest with $11.8 million and $3.5 million in net inflows respectively.

United States remained the top contributor with $1.9 billion in weekly inflows followed by Switzerland Germany and Canada. While the crypto market remained largely positive some regions like Hong Kong and Brazil saw outflows showing a mixed but resilient global outlook.

Metaplanet has reached its year-end 2025 goal of 10,000 Bitcoin six months early. The Tokyo-listed firm announced on June 16 that it purchased 1,112 BTC at an average price of ¥15.18 million per Bitcoin (around \$105,000), bringing its total holdings to exactly 10,000 BTC.

The purchase was funded by issuing a $210 million zero-interest bond to EVO Fund, also announced on June 16. The bond matures in December 2025 but can be redeemed earlier. Metaplanet confirmed that the entire amount will go toward further Bitcoin purchases, reinforcing its focused accumulation approach.

The company has now raised its BTC target to 100,000 by end of 2026 and 210,000 by 2027—representing 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply. Already the largest corporate BTC holder in Asia and eighth globally, Metaplanet continues leading the charge in institutional Bitcoin adoption.

The green light came through a June 13 SEC filing that confirmed the effectiveness of TMTG’s S-3 registration statement.

Statechains are an original second layer protocol originally developed by Ruben Somsen in 2018, depending on the eltoo (or LN Symmetry) proposal. In 2021 a variation of the original proposal, Mercury, was built by CommerceBlock. In 2024, a further iteration of the original Mercury scheme was built, Mercury Layer. 

The Statechain protocol is a bit more complicated to discuss compared to other systems such as Ark or Lightning because of the range of variations that are possible between the original proposed design, the two that have been actually implemented, and other possible designs that have been loosely proposed. 

Like Ark, Statechains depend on a centralized coordinating…

Pakistan’s relationship with Bitcoin has been marked by inconsistency and confusion over the past few years. Initially, the country outright banned bitcoin trading in 2018, citing concerns over fraud, money laundering and lack of regulation. However, over time, their stance softened and regulators began exploring the technology behind Bitcoin with courts even questioning the legality of the ban. Eventually, citizens were allowed to hold bitcoin, though trading remained murky and unregulated.
