Crypto Firm Gets $4M to Take Over U.S. Bitcoin Scene and Maybe Nasdaq Too

by

Vinanz, the Bitcoin-loving firm that somehow convinced the London Stock Exchange to list it, just scored $4 million to expand its U.S. operations and chase a potential Nasdaq listing. Yes, the same Nasdaq that’s so picky about who they let in—so much so that even your high school’s debate team wouldn’t make the cut.

In a thrilling turn of events, this Bitcoin mining company (remember, it’s all about Bitcoin, like that one hobby you have that makes no sense to your parents) managed to snag $4 million from an unnamed “global asset manager.” Because, apparently, there are still people out there who believe in Bitcoin and want to fund its world domination. How nice for them!

The deal was arranged by U.S. investment bank Dominari Securities, which has been working with Vinanz since April. And in case you thought this was just a one-off deal, brace yourself: the money’s coming in two parts. The first $2 million is for growing Vinanz’s Bitcoin reserves—because, naturally, the more Bitcoin you have, the better your chances of surviving the next internet crash. The second $2 million will only be released if some mystery conditions are met. No word on what those conditions are, but I’m guessing they involve a lot of power suits and possibly a few TikTok dances.

A Vinanz spokesperson, likely reading from a very polished script, said the investment positions the firm well as it focuses on “growing our Bitcoin holdings in preparation for the potential Nasdaq dual listing.” Translation: we’re stockpiling Bitcoin like it’s toilet paper during a pandemic, just in case Nasdaq decides to let us in.

Vinanz has been flirting with the idea of a Nasdaq listing since early 2025 when they hired U.S. law firm Lucosky Brookman LLP to weigh the pros and cons of this grand plan. They’ve said a Nasdaq listing would give them access to institutional investors and U.S. capital markets—because who wouldn’t want their Bitcoin company to have that kind of elite backing? Sadly, no word on when the actual listing will happen. Guess we’ll just have to sit tight and wait for the next big Bitcoin tweet.

In case you were wondering, Vinanz moved to the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market in January after spending some time on the AQSE Growth Market. It’s like moving from the kiddie table to the grown-up table at Thanksgiving—only instead of discussing politics, you’re talking about blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Fun, right?
