Nine firms commit $15M over three years to Bitcoin security research, with quantum preparedness as the marquee focus and roughly 6.9M BTC potentially exposed if cryptographically relevant machines…
The early repayment scrubs 7.7M shares of potential dilution off the cap table, but the move broadcasts a quieter reality for the microcap treasury cohort: when equity is hard to issue, the Bitcoin…
