Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc., a New York-based digital fintech group, has unveiled an $800 million financing plan to create a long-term Bitcoin treasury reserve. This strategy, announced today, aims to position MFH as a pioneer in blending blockchain technology with traditional finance. Alongside this, the company earned a spot on FTSE Russell’s preliminary 2025 index reconstitution list, signaling its rising influence in the market.
Building a Bitcoin Fortress
Mercurity Fintech plans to use the $800 million to buy and manage Bitcoin, integrating it into a digital reserve framework. The company will likely rely on institutional-grade custody to securely store its Bitcoin, ensuring protection against hacks. On-chain staking will allow MFH to earn rewards by supporting Bitcoin’s network, while tokenized treasury management will enable innovative ways to track and trade its holdings on blockchain platforms.
The move aligns with a growing trend, as companies like Strategy and Metaplanet hold Bitcoin to hedge against inflation. MFH’s strategy could inspire other firms to follow, boosting Bitcoin’s adoption. Currently, the apex coin, according to CoinMarketCap, sits at $107,000, with a market capitalization of $2.13 trillion, over a 24-hour trading volume of $53.13 billion and a circulating supply of 19.87 million BTC as at press time.
Mercurity Fintech’s Market Success
MFH’s inclusion in FTSE Russell’s preliminary 2025 Russell 3000 and 2000 Indexes, up from the Russell Microcap Index, stands as a major milestone. This upgrade, announced concurrently with the Bitcoin plan, is said to increase MFH’s visibility among institutional investors, potentially attracting more capital.
The company’s stock is trading at $5.98 with a market cap of $475.7 million as of May 13, 2025. Its index inclusion reflects consistent performance in blockchain finance, bolstered by partnerships like the one with SBI Digital Markets to promote tokenized assets. This highlights MFH’s goal to bridge traditional and digital finance.
Some firms have found Bitcoin investments rewarding despite its volatility. For instance, Tokyo-listed Gumi Inc. invested $6.58 million in Bitcoin to enhance its Web3 business and node operations. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, also invested $25 million in a fresh Bitcoin purchase in a bid to further enlarge its holdings.
