Mercurity Fintech plans $800m Bitcoin reserve, Eyes Russell 2000 inclusion

Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc. has announced an $800 million financing plan to establish a long-term Bitcoin treasury reserve. 

The initiative marks a strategic shift for the blockchain-powered fintech group, which now aims to build a digital asset treasury supported by blockchain-native custody, staking, and tokenized management services.

According to MFH, the reserve will be managed using institutional-grade custodial infrastructure and staking-enabled liquidity tools. 

The company plans to generate yield from its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings while enhancing balance sheet resilience and deepening alignment with decentralized finance protocols.

CEO Shi Qiu said the initiative reflects a belief in Bitcoin’s future role in financial infrastructure. “We are positioning our company to be a key player in the evolving digital financial ecosystem,” Qiu stated.

Index inclusion

Alongside the treasury plan, MFH is also set for inclusion in the Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® Indexes, pending final reconstitution later this month. 

The expected upgrade from the Russell Microcap Index could boost visibility among institutional investors and index-linked funds.

MFH’s move aligns with a growing trend among public companies using Bitcoin as a strategic asset. 

Interest from corporations in digital assets is increasing, with more and more public companies allocating Bitcoin to their balance sheets, according to a recent report from Binance. 

Earlier this month, Norwegian digital asset brokerage K33 announced a crypto strategy plan. Earlier today, Interactive Strength Inc. announced a new $500 million crypto asset strategy focused on acquiring Fetch.ai’s FET tokens.
