Gm Folks We’re back! This is the fourth edition of the bi-weekly bulletin launched in collaboration with Forza! Bitcoin and the @CoinsiliumGroup. Thank you for reading (and loving!) the previous edition. This time as well, we’ll be diving into the latest developments in financial markets, with a strong focus on the macroeconomic trends that drive and reinforce Bitcoin’s growing relevance as a global financial asset. Forza! Bitcoin is a 100%-owned subsidiary of Coinsilium Group ($COIN.AQ $CINGF) registered in Gibraltar, and established to manage the Company’s Bitcoin Treasury and strategy. Together, we’ll keep you updated on the latest moves around Bitcoin. But first, let’s get this part out of the way: Always DYOR: This bulletin is for informational purposes only and contains summaries of news articles originally published by third-party media outlets. Please refer to the full disclaimer at the end of the post. Now, let’s get started. Here are the highlights: ⚡️ Big Money Moves 👉Businesses are saying “Crypto is where the money is atttt!” 😜 👉Sats Era Investor sold over $80k BTC, Market barely felt it 👉Strategy™: Raise Capital, Buy Bitcoin… 👉Forza raced past 100 BTC… 🌍 Bitcoin in the Wild 👉What do you say to ‘Stable’ Mining? 👉Buy BitGo? ⚡️ Big Money Moves 💰Businesses are saying “Crypto is where the money is atttt!” 😜 Folks, we’ve got interesting news. Since June 1, 98 companies have announced plans to raise over $43 billion to buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. According to the Wall Street Journal and data compiled by crypto advisory firm Architect Partners, almost $86 billion has already been raised for this purpose in 2025 alone. Crazy, right?! These are not casual purchases from existing funds. Instead, companies are actively raising fresh capital through borrowing, issuing shares, or attracting outside investors because they see crypto as a strategic and potentially lucrative asset to hold. In other words, buying cryptocurrency is no longer just an experiment for forward-looking tech companies. It has become one of the most dominant business strategies of the year. But BTC isn’t just being bought, it’s being sold…a lot. Continue reading for the next scoop 💰Sats Era Investor sold over 80k BTC, Market barely felt it On July 25, 2025, Galaxy Digital—a leading crypto investment and trading firm—facilitated (that means they helped arrange and execute) one of the largest Bitcoin sales in history. The firm executed the liquidation of over 80,000 BTC, worth more than $9 billion, on behalf of a Satoshi-era investor (someone who had been holding Bitcoin since its early days around 2009–2012). This wasn’t just a regular sale but part of a carefully planned estate planning strategy, meaning the investor was restructuring their wealth. Selling such a massive amount of Bitcoin could easily crash the market, but @galaxyhq handled it so well that Bitcoin barely dipped to $115,000 after the sale before quickly recovering and trading close to $119,000. 💰Strategy™: Raise Capital, Buy Bitcoin… On July 21, 2025, Strategy™ (formerly @MicroStrategy) announced plans for a major capital-raising move: the launch of a new preferred stock offering called STRC Stock. The company will issue 5 million shares of this special security, each with a fixed base value of $100. The STRC shares are designed like a hybrid between bonds and traditional stock. Investors who buy in will receive a dividend of roughly $9 per share, paid out monthly starting August 31, 2025. What makes STRC unique is that Strategy can redeem the shares at $101 plus any unpaid dividends under certain conditions, as well as adjust the dividend rate, which helps ensure the preferred shares trade close to their $100 stated value. This is just one aspect of Strategy™’s plan, as one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries in the world, with over 607,770 Bitcoin. And speaking of Treasuries… 💰Forza raced past 100 BTC… In July, Coinsilium Group crossed the 100 BTC mark by purchasing an additional 50.69 BTC through its Gibraltar-based subsidiary, Forza Gibraltar Limited. Forza’s total Bitcoin treasury has now reached 124.4239 BTC and is valued at approximately £11 million (US$14.8 million). Coinsilium Group’s Bitcoin Treasury Policy & Strategic Plan can be found at Coinsilium.com. 📌 FYI: Coinsilium’s shares are traded on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market in London, under the ticker symbol "$COIN.AQ", and on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under the ticker symbol "$CINGF". And now, we move on to the next section. Those were the big money moves, but let’s not forget… It's not just the money following Bitcoin. It’s everybody. Keep reading for the latest on regulation, adoption, and all things Bitcoin. 🌍 Bitcoin in the Wild ⭐ What do you say to ‘Stable’ Mining? @tether, the company behind the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, is making a major push into the Bitcoin mining sector. By the end of 2025, the company plans to release its Mining Operating System (MOS) as an open-source software, designed to decentralize Bitcoin mining and reduce reliance on privately-owned software from a handful of hardware vendors. The operating system is built on a peer-to-peer Internet of Things (IoT) architecture, and can run on a wide range of mining setups. It will work just as effectively on small Raspberry Pi–powered rigs as on massive industrial farms. MOS will also support a variety of cooling systems (air or immersion) and energy configurations, allowing miners in different environments to optimise for cost and efficiency. Tether says it aims to “level the playing field” in mining, and the end goal is simple. By increasing competition between smaller or mid-sized operators and large, publicly listed firms, Bitcoin will become more decentralized and secure. ⭐Buy BitGo? @BitGo, one of the leading crypto custody firms headquartered in Palo Alto, California, has confidentially filed to go public in the United States, according to Reuters. This places BitGo among a growing list of cryptocurrency companies (like Grayscale, Gemini, Circle, and Bullish) preparing for IPOs as market conditions remain highly favorable. BitGo raised $100 million in August 2023 at a $1.75 billion valuation, and its business model is increasingly vital to banks, hedge funds, and corporations that need regulated, insured custodians to safely store their digital assets. This IPO couldn’t come at a better time. The crypto sector has soared past $4 trillion in total market capitalization, due to rising institutional flows, corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies, and improving regulatory clarity in the U.S. And that’s it! Long read, but we hope you enjoyed it. The next edition will be dropping in August, so set a reminder in your calendar. Till then, Thank you for being a part of the When Shift Happens family.

Gm Folks We’re back! This is the third edition of the bi-weekly bulletin launched in collaboration with Forza! Bitcoin and the Consilium Group. Thank you for reading (and loving!) the previous edition. This time as well, we’ll be diving into the latest developments in financial markets, with a strong focus on the macroeconomic trends that drive and reinforce Bitcoin’s growing relevance as a global financial asset. Forza! Bitcoin is a 100%-owned subsidiary of Coinsilium Group ($COIN.AQ $CINGF) registered in Gibraltar, and established to manage the Company’s Bitcoin Treasury and strategy.

Here are the highlights: ⚡️ Big Money Moves 👉Bitcoin ↗️ 109k! 👉Did Bro hibernate for 14 years?! 👉All hail Ethiopia! 👉Forza!Bitcoin joins the Top 20 🌍 Bitcoin in the Wild 👉You can’t buy Bitcoin? Say Less 👉Buy BTC, Hold BTC, Lend BTC… 👉No taxes till 2029? Sign me up ⚡️ Big Money Moves 💰Bitcoin ↗️ 109k! On July 3rd, Bitcoin rose back above $109,000! There are many theories for why this happened, and some analysts say it’s due to improving liquidity conditions and the easing of U.S. tariffs, which have boosted risk-on sentiment across crypto markets. In less fancy terms, that means more money is available and flowing in markets, a,nd people are less worried about investing in riskier assets. It also confirms what we are already noticing — Bitcoin prices are now more sensitive to general economic news than to crypto-specific events. While some investors are watching to see if Bitcoin can stay above this key price level, a whale just made a major move. Keep reading. 💰Did Bro hibernate for 14 years?! Something major happened yesterday. On July 6, 2025, a Bitcoin whale who has been dormant since around 2011 transferred a total of 40,000 BTC. That’s worth ≈ $4.35 billion! According to blockchain data, Mr Whale originally controlled 80,000 BTC across eight wallets but has moved half of it in four 10,000 BTC batches. The coins were acquired during Bitcoin’s early era at just $1.65–$3.37 per BTC. Cool 😎 💰All hail Ethiopia! Ethiopia has gone from being fondly referred to as the cradle of humanity to accounting for nearly 2.5% of the global Bitcoin’s hash rate. Crazy! This feat is largely due to the Grand Rennaissance dam, which is the largest in Africa, and the efforts of the Phoenix Group, which has scaled its operations to 132 megawatts. All operations are mostly hydro-powered. Foreign mining firms are also paying in hard currency, which gives a nice boost to Ethiopia’s foreign exchange reserves. However, critics say the government needs to strike a careful balance between providing for its own citizens and attracting foreign investment. And rounding up this section: 💰Forza!Bitcoin joins the Top 20 Throughout the month of June, Coinsilium Group, via its Gibraltar-based unit Forza Gibraltar Limited, acquired 59.7 Bitcoin, bringing total Bitcoin holdings to 73.7304 BTC. That means the Forza Bitcoin treasury was valued at roughly £5.79 million by the end of June. After a new purchase announced earlier today (July 7th), the Forza! Bitcoin treasury now holds 88.6327 BTC (£7.1m). In addition, the Coinsilium Group now ranks among the top 20 of the biggest names in the industry based on Bitcoin acquisition during the month of June 2025. Coinsilium Group’s Bitcoin Treasury Policy & Strategic Plan can be found at Coinsilium.com.  📌 FYI: Coinsilium’s shares are traded on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market in London, under the ticker symbol "$COIN.AQ", and on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under the ticker symbol "$CINGF". And now, we move on to the next section. Those were the big money moves, but let’s not forget… It's not just the money following Bitcoin. It’s everybody. Keep reading for the latest on regulation, adoption, and all things Bitcoin. 🌍 Bitcoin in the Wild ⭐You can’t buy Bitcoin? Say Less Bitcoin-focused investment firm Nakamoto is building what it calls the first global network of Bitcoin treasury companies and this strategy is backed by roughly $750 million. Let’s explain it. Basically, Nakamoto is building a global network of Bitcoin-focused public companies in places where it’s normally hard or restricted for institutions to buy Bitcoin directly. Think Japan, the UK, and parts of Europe, etc.,. Nakamoto helps create or fund these companies and gives them Bitcoin to hold on their balance sheets. For example, one of them, Metaplanet in Japan, now holds over 13,000 BTC. Others include the Smarter Web Company in the UK and Blockchain Group in Europe. Some of these companies have seen their value skyrocket, over 10× gains in just a year or so. This matters because investors who normally can’t get access to Bitcoin can now buy shares in these public companies. And as people buy shares, the valuations of these companies go even higher than just the price of Bitcoin they hold. So it’s a win-win. ⭐Buy BTC, Hold BTC, Lend BTC… On June 23, 2025, Anthony Pompliano announced a big move: his firm, ProCap BTC, is merging with a SPAC called Columbus Circle Capital I. Together, they’re creating a new public company called ProCap Financial, and it’s gearing up to hold up to $1 billion worth of Bitcoin. ProCap Financial is already coming out the gate with $750 million in capital, that is, $500 million in straight-up equity and another $250 million in convertible debt. And they’ve got serious backing from big names like Susquehanna, Jane Street, Pantera, and Magnetar. And there’s a twist: they’re not just buying and holding Bitcoin. ProCap wants to put its Bitcoin to work by lending it out, trading derivatives, and creating custom financial products based on BTC. So it’s more of an active strategy, trying to earn revenue on top of just holding the asset. This isn’t happening in isolation either. We’re seeing a lot of similar plays like Twenty One, a SPAC-backed firm tied to Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank and even Trump Media is talking about adding Bitcoin to its treasury. And last but not least, Thailand has something interesting. ⭐No taxes till 2029? Sign me up Thailand’s Cabinet has officially scrapped personal income tax on crypto profits as long as you’re trading through licensed platforms. The exemption applies from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029, and is part of the Ministry of Finance’s strategy to become a serious player in the global crypto scene. They’re aligning with international anti-money laundering standards (FATF), beefing up regulation through their SEC, and encouraging the use of digital assets in a way that balances regulation and openness. According to Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat, this policy could indirectly bring in over 1 billion baht (about $30.7 million) revenue by boosting innovation, fundraising, and wider economic participation. Long story short, Thailand wants to attract crypto talent and capital, and they have a pretty solid plan to do it. And that’s it! Long read, but we hope you enjoyed it. The next edition will be dropping on the 21st of July, so set a reminder in your calendar. Till then, Thank you for being a part of the When Shift Happens family.
