FG Nexus is among the growing list of institutional players betting on Ethereum as the settlement layer of the future. Other public companies such as SharpLink Gaming (SBET), BitMine Immersion (BMNR), and Bit Digital (BTBT) have all recently announced ether treasury strategies.
FG Nexus leadership includes Joe Moglia, former TD Ameritrade CEO and Fundamental Global co-founder, who joins as executive advisor. The digital asset strategy will be led by early blockchain pioneer Maja Vujinovic.
New ticker symbols FGNX and FGNXP are expected to go live following the closing of the offering on or around August 1.
Singapore-based mining hardware maker Canaan (CAN) also announced a new treasury strategy that designated bitcoin {BTC} as its primary long-term reserve asset, the company said on Wednesday.
While bitcoin will remain the centerpiece, Canaan’s policy allows for the occasional acquisition of other crypto assets, including ether and Genius Act–compliant U.S. dollar stablecoins.
Bitcoin accumulated through normal business activities, including self-mining and the sale of mining equipment, will be retained on a long-term basis, the Nasdaq-listed company said.
