Indian listed company Jetking's board of directors approves private placement to expand Bitcoin reserves
Jetking, India's first public company to adopt the Bitcoin standard, announced that the board of directors has approved a plan to issue additional shares aimed at expanding its Bitcoin reserve operations. The plan will issue 460,000 shares to specific non-promoters, at a price of 250 rupees per share (face value of 10 rupees + premium of 240 rupees), with a total financing scale of 1.15 billion rupees. The funds raised will be used for three purposes: acquiring Bitcoin, general corporate purposes, and Bitcoin education training and skills development. This plan complies with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations of 2018 and the Companies Act of 2013, and still requires approval from shareholders and regulatory authorities. The company's management will remain unchanged, but the ownership structure may be adjusted.
Analyst: Institutional demand supports the crypto market, the outlook for the alt season is still unclear
according to The Block, research analysts said that institutional demand continues to drive Bitcoin to maintain near historical highs, with the current trading price around $118,500. Ethereum, on the other hand, has surged to $3,761, benefiting from more and more companies adding ETH to their treasury reserves and record inflows into ETFs. Presto Research analyst Min Jung pointed out that although Bitcoin's dominance has dropped to 61%, the current bull market is mainly driven by institutions, and it is uncertain whether this strength can extend beyond the widespread altcoin market outside of large "dinosaur coins." LVRG Research head Nick Ruck added that the current bull market cycle is attributed to corporate treasuries adding Ethereum and a few major altcoins, as well as traditional financial companies further integrating DeFi trends through RWA tokens and stablecoins.
