Saylor’s Strategy Launches ‘USD Cash’ Pool After Billion Raise, No BTC Buys

Saylor’s Strategy Launches ‘USD Cash’ Pool After $2 Billion Raise, No BTC Buys

Published by Jenni Sidey

Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public company holding Bitcoin, raised about $2 billion through common stock sales last week while making no new Bitcoin purchases. The Bitcoin treasury company sold 18.26 million MSTR shares between Aug. 17 and Aug. 23 through its at-the-market (ATM) offering program, according to a Monday filing with the SEC, adding a new pool of cash to its balance-sheet toolkit as part of an effort to preserve flexibility. Strategy repurchased about 1.43 million of its STRC preferred shares for $136.4 million, added $300 million to its US dollar reserve and directed the remaining proceeds to a newly launched US dollar cash account. “The new USD Cash pool gives Strategy more time and optionality, but it does not remove those underlying obligations,” said Nicolai Sondergaard, a senior research analyst at Nansen. The newly established USD Cash pool, which currently holds $1.59 billion, will sit alongside its existing reserve (which stands at $5.1 billion reserves) bringing total cash to $6.69 billion… Strategy said the new cash account gives management more flexibility to respond to market …

Can Nigeria cash in on Iran war? | Oil and Gas

Can Nigeria cash in on Iran war? | Oil and Gas

Published by Sam Flores

Ekperikpe Ekpo says the US-Israel war on Iran has pushed Nigeria to expand its gas production. The war in Iran has put global natural gas markets under strain, creating a potential opportunity for Nigeria to strengthen its position as a major gas supplier. The country’s minister of state for petroleum resources, Ekperikpe Ekpo, discusses plans for the Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline. He says Nigeria is seeking to attract investment, expand production and position its liquefied natural gas (LNG) for growing international demand, particularly in Europe. But the opportunity comes as Nigerians continue to face high domestic cooking gas prices. Ekpo explains efforts to bring down liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices, move millions of households away from firewood, charcoal and kerosene, reduce gas flaring, and accelerate 20 gas projects towards final investment decisions before 2030.

Influencers and Resellers Are Turning Empty Boxes Into Big Cash

Influencers and Resellers Are Turning Empty Boxes Into Big Cash

Published by skeptic

Doctor Who, One Piece, Pokémon, Star Wars. Empty product boxes from these popular properties have been listed on eBay for $2,500 and up. It’s not too surprising to anyone familiar with modern nerd-dom that even the empty boxes for these perennial collectibles would command high prices. But look what they’re joined by in that elite bracket: a Bottega Stardust Sparkling Rosé bottle and box (listed for $8,105), the box for a 1980s Rolex Explorer 1016 ($3,850), a “rare” Hermes Bolide box from Japan ($3,450), and a Suntory Hibiki bottle and box ($3,000). One big reason for this is that buyers are paying big bucks to acquire the original packaging for an item they want to auction off; selling the collectable with an original box almost always boosts the resale price. For high-priced items—a secondhand Rolex Explorer 1016 sells for between $19,000 and $52,000—spending a couple grand on an original box is a worthwhile investment. It’s not just collectibles either; even for items like a Dyson Airwrap or Nintendo Switch, it can make sound financial sense …

SK Hynix workers to get 60% of this year’s bonuses in stock rather than all cash

SK Hynix workers to get 60% of this year’s bonuses in stock rather than all cash

Published by Sam Flores

SEOUL, Aug 20 : Chipmaker SK Hynix said on Thursday it has reached a tentative wage deal with its South Korean workers that will see them receive at least 60 per cent of this year’s bonuses in company stock rather than the all-cash payout they received last year. The AI boom has sent SK Hynix’s earnings soaring, leading to eye-popping bonuses for its employees. Workers are set to be paid an average 779 million won ($547,000) for 2026, according to Reuters calculations. “It is a win-win solution. An all-cash payment would have placed both SK Hynix and its workers in a difficult position,” said Kim Yong-jin, a management professor at Sogang University. “It would drain the company’s cash reserves and could have triggered a public backlash over what may be seen as lavish payouts,” he said. The agreement is subject to a vote by union members, an SK Hynix spokesperson said. Last year, SK Hynix agreed to share 10 per cent of its annual operating profit with workers in cash under an agreement that would …

“Cash Crunch” Deepens? Mark Walter Explores Chelsea FC Stake Sale To Clearlake

“Cash Crunch” Deepens? Mark Walter Explores Chelsea FC Stake Sale To Clearlake

Published by Jenni Sidey

The latest developments surrounding Mark Walter’s empire appear to reinforce Yahoo Sports reporter Jack Baer’s warning last week of a potential “cash crunch” following the abrupt $12.5 billion sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to Josh Kushner and former Disney chief Bob Iger. The Financial Times also reported last week that the FBI seized phones belonging to Walter and Guggenheim Investments President Dina DiLorenzo last year as part of a federal investigation into entities controlled by Walter. Bloomberg reported Monday that Walter has explored selling his stake in Chelsea FC to Clearlake Capital, the London football club’s majority owner. The report is based on information from people familiar with the matter and has yet to be officially confirmed. Walter’s family office approached the Santa Monica-based alternative asset manager, led by Behdad Eghbali and José Feliciano, in recent days, the report said. For context, Clearlake is Chelsea FC’s majority shareholder, holding more than 60% through the BlueCo consortium formed to acquire the club from Roman Abramovich in 2022. The remaining interest is held by Todd Boehly, …

Published by Jenni Sidey

When money feels tight, even one unpaid bill can keep someone up at night, staring at the ceiling and wondering where they’ll get the money to pay it. That’s why it’s important to have an abundance mindset and to make sure your home is a space that welcomes good fortune. However, in feng shui, even those moments can be an opportunity to shift the energy around you and make room for something better to come along, especially in your home. Rearranging your living room won’t magically make money appear, but certain housekeeping habits can invite energy in that allows movement and abundance, often bringing wealth with it.
