Kraken’s banking subsidiary has obtained a limited-purpose master account at the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, enabling it to route US dollar payments via Fedwire without relying solely on intermediary banks. MARA Holdings outlined that updated SEC filings are meant to expand its Bitcoin treasury options rather than signal a major sale, while Fold removed $66.3 million in convertible debt and analysts say NYSE’s tokenization proposal could support greater institutional participation.

Since October, publicly listed Bitcoin mining firms have collectively sold more than 15,000 BTC, reflecting growing pressure from shrinking margins and balance-sheet constraints.

SoFi Technologies has appointed BitGo to provide infrastructure for SoFiUSD, a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by SoFi Bank.

SoFiUSD is described as the first stablecoin from a U.S. nationally chartered and insured deposit bank on a public, permissionless blockchain.

MARA Holdings, one of the largest Bitcoin mining firms, has disputed claims that it plans to sell most of its Bitcoin after a new treasury filing. Vice president for investor relations Robert Samuels said the 2026 10-K only broadens the company's ability to sell BTC when warranted, while MARA continues to hold 53,822 BTC worth about $3.7 billion. The miner has also diversified by buying a 64% stake in France-based Exaion, a high-performance computing and blockchain infrastructure provider.

Fold, a Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin financial services firm, has paid off $66.3 million in convertible debt, reducing the risk of future share dilution.

ProCap Financial reported on Monday that it purchased 450 Bitcoin during the latest market pullback, raising its total holdings to 5,457 BTC while lowering its average cost per coin. Over the past 10 days, the Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin treasury firm also repurchased 782,408 shares at prices well below its net asset value in an effort to shrink the discount between market price and underlying assets.

Bloomberg is partnering with Kaiko to make its licensed financial data available directly on blockchain networks, the companies said on Thursday.
