StoneX Raises Strive Price Target 34% After New Stock Offering for Bitcoin Strategy

WHY IT MATTERS

Some publicly traded companies have started buying bitcoin as part of their business strategy, similar to how a company might hold cash reserves but choosing cryptocurrency instead. To fund these purchases, companies sometimes sell new shares of their stock to raise money — this is called a stock offering.
