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.
