Mercurity Fintech Plans $800M Bitcoin Treasury Amid Preliminary Russell 2000 Inclusion

• Mercurity Fintech plans to raise $800M for a Bitcoin treasury integrated with tokenized tools and staking services.
• The company did not disclose how it would raise the funds, prompting investor curiosity and caution.

Mercurity Fintech Holding (MFH), a New York cryptocurrency and financial services company, said it is raising $800 million to create a Bitcoin treasury and construct a blockchain-based financial ecosystem. The effort is part of a larger push by the company to become a top player in the new digital financial infrastructure.

The company, which operates crypto mining facilities and develops liquid cooling systems for AI data centers, revealed the plan in a press release this week. The funds will support the acquisition of Bitcoin (BTC), which will then be integrated into a yield-generating treasury model that leverages tokenized financial tools and staking services.

“Bitcoin will become an essential component of the future financial infrastructure,” said Mercurity CEO Shi Qiu. “We are positioning our company to be a key player in the evolving digital financial ecosystem.”

The company never made public how it is to raise the $800 million, whether through debt, equity offerings, or some other financing mechanism. Investors and analysts have been left inconclusive, awaiting further clarification.

Bitcoin Treasury with Utility

Unlike traditional treasury holdings, Mercurity plans to use its BTC not just for storage but as an active financial tool. According to the company, the treasury will be embedded in a blockchain-native custodial framework that supports tokenized treasury operations, including staking to generate returns.

Such a strategy is in step with a new trend under which businesses not only keep Bitcoin as a reserve but use it within decentralized finance (DeFi) networks to generate extra yields.

The news also arrives at a critical time, as Mercurity is scheduled to become part of the widely followed Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indexes, which are benchmarks used by institutional investors. Membership in the indices may make MFH shares more visible and liquid.

After the news, the stock price of Mercurity increased 1.9% during the regular trading period but fell 2.84% in after-hours trading, potentially because investors were worried about the uncertainty in the funding plan.

Expanding Digital and AI Infrastructure

Beyond cryptocurrency, Mercurity also offers liquid cooling solutions for AI data centers, a growing area of infrastructure demand due to the energy-intensive nature of large-scale computing. The firm also provides financial services to institutions and high-net-worth individuals, including digital asset management and blockchain consulting.

With the rising demand for integrated digital finance platforms, Mercurity’s planned BTC treasury and infrastructure could be a strategic move to attract both crypto-native and traditional investors.
