    Discussion of Operating Results

    Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

    Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $43.2 million compared to $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was driven by a $0.9 million increase in investment securities income and a $0.4 million increase in overnight funds income. One additional calendar day in the second quarter of 2025 contributed to the increase. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the increase was primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in investment securities income and a $1.2 million decrease in deposit interest expense. New investment purchases at higher yields drove the increase in investment securities income for both prior period comparisons. Further, the decrease in deposit interest expense from the prior year period reflected the gradual decrease in our deposit rates, as short term rates began declining in the second half of 2024.

    For the first six months of 2025, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $84.8 million compared to $77.8 million for the same period of 2024 with the increase primarily attributable to a $4.2 million increase in investment securities income, a $1.9 million increase in overnight funds income, and a $1.4 million decrease in deposit interest expense. New investment purchases at higher yields drove the increase in investment securities income. Higher average deposit balances contributed to the increase in overnight funds income. The decrease in deposit interest expense reflected the aforementioned decrease in our deposit rates.

    Our net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.30%, an increase of eight basis points over the first quarter of 2025 and an increase of 28 basis points over the second quarter of 2024. For the month of June 2025, our net interest margin was 4.36%. For the first six months of 2025, our net interest margin increased by 25 basis points to 4.26% compared to the same period of 2024. The increase in net interest margin over all prior periods reflected a higher yield in the investment portfolio driven by new purchases at higher yields. Lower deposit cost also contributed to the improvement over both prior year periods. For the second quarter of 2025, our cost of funds was 82 basis points, a decrease of two basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and a 15-basis point decrease from the second quarter of 2024. Our cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing accounts) was 81 basis points, 82 basis points, and 95 basis points, respectively, for the same periods.

    Provision for Credit Losses

    We recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, we recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $1.4 million compared to $2.1 million for the first six months of 2024. Activity within the components of the provision (loans held for investment (“HFI”) and unfunded loan commitments) for each reported period is provided in the table on page 14. We discuss the various factors that impacted our provision expense for Loans HFI in further detail below under the heading Allowance for Credit Losses.

    Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $20.0 million compared to $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $0.1 million, or 0.5%, increase over the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.3 million increase in deposit fees, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in wealth management fees. The increase in mortgage revenues was driven by an increase in production volume. Fee adjustments made late in the second quarter of 2025 led to the increase in deposit fees. The decrease in wealth management fees was attributable to a decrease in insurance commission revenue. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the $0.4 million, or 2.1%, increase was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in wealth management fees, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.1 million decrease in other income. The increase in wealth management fees reflected a $0.5 million increase in trust fees and a $0.4 million increase in retail brokerage fees, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in insurance commission revenue. A combination of new business, higher account valuations, and fee increases implemented in early 2025 drove the improvement in trust and retail brokerage fees.

    For the first six months of 2025, noninterest income totaled $39.9 million compared to $37.7 million for the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in wealth management fees and a $0.7 million increase in mortgage banking revenues that was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees. The increase in wealth management fees reflected increases in retail brokerage fees of $1.0 million, trust fees of $0.7 million, and insurance commission revenue of $0.1 million. The increases in retail brokerage and trust fees were attributable to a combination of new business, higher account valuations, and fee increases implemented in early 2025. The increase in mortgage banking revenues was due to a higher gain on sale margin.   

    Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $42.5 million compared to $38.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $40.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $3.8 million, or 9.9%, increase over the first quarter of 2025, reflected a $3.3 million increase in other expense, a $0.3 million increase in occupancy expense, and a $0.2 million increase in compensation expense. The increase in other expense was driven by a $4.5 million increase in other real estate expense which reflected lower gains from the sale of banking facilities, primarily the sale of our operations center building in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in charitable contribution expense and a $0.6 million decrease in miscellaneous expense. The slight increase in occupancy expense was due to higher software maintenance agreement expense and maintenance/repairs for buildings and furniture/fixtures. The slight increase in compensation expense reflected a $0.1 million increase in salary expense and a $0.1 million increase in associate benefit expense.   Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the $2.1 million, or 5.2%, increase was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in compensation expense which reflected a $1.3 million increase in salary expense and a $0.8 million increase in associate benefit expense. The increase in salary expense was primarily due to increases in incentive plan expense of $0.9 million and base salaries of $0.4 million (merit based). The increase in associate benefit expense was attributable to a $0.6 million increase in associate insurance expense and a $0.2 million increase in stock compensation expense.

    For the first six months of 2025, noninterest expense totaled $81.2 million compared to $80.6 million for the same period of 2024 with the $0.6 million, or 0.8%, increase due to a $3.9 million increase in compensation expense that was partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in other expense and a $0.1 million decrease in occupancy expense. The increase in compensation was due to a $2.5 million increase in salary expense and a $1.4 million increase in associate benefit expense. The increase in salary expense was primarily due to increases in incentive plan expense of $1.2 million, base salaries of $0.9 million (merit based), and commissions of $0.7 million (retail brokerage and mortgage). The increase in associate benefit expense was attributable to a higher cost for associate insurance. The decrease in other expense was primarily due to a $4.5 million decrease in other real estate expense due to lower gains from the sale of banking facilities, and a $1.0 million decrease in miscellaneous expense (non-service component of pension expense), partially offset by increases in processing expense of $1.1 million (outsource of core processing system), charitable contribution expense of $0.7 million, and professional fees of $0.5 million.

    Income Taxes

    We realized income tax expense of $5.0 million (effective rate of 24.9%) for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $5.1 million (effective rate of 23.3%) for the first quarter of 2025 and $3.2 million (effective rate of 18.5%) for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, we realized income tax expense of $10.1 million (effective rate of 24.1%) compared to $6.7 million (effective rate of 20.6%) for the same period of 2024. A lower level of tax benefit accrued from a solar tax credit equity fund drove the increase in our effective tax rate for all prior period comparisons. Absent discrete items or new tax credit investments, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 24% for 2025.

    Discussion of Financial Condition

    Earning Assets

    Average earning assets totaled $4.032 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $38.1 million, or 1.0%, over the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $110.1 million, or 2.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase over both prior periods was driven by higher average deposit balances (see below – Deposits). Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the change in the earning asset mix reflected a $27.8 million increase in overnight funds and a $25.7 million increase in investment securities that was partially offset by a $13.3 million decrease in loans HFI and a $2.1 million decrease in loans held for sale (“HFS”). Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the change in the earning asset mix reflected a $92.8 million increase in investment securities and a $50.5 million increase in overnight funds sold partially offset by a $24.8 million decrease in loans HFI and a $8.4 million decrease in loans HFS.

    Average loans HFI decreased by $13.3 million, or 0.5%, from the first quarter of 2025 and decreased by $24.8 million, or 0.9%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decrease was due to decreases in construction loans of $24.6 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $1.9 million, and commercial loans of $3.4 million, partially offset by increases to residential real estate loans of $10.2 million, commercial real estate loans of $2.1 million, and home equity loans of $4.1 million. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the decline was primarily attributable to decreases in construction loans of $33.2 million, commercial loans of $9.2 million, and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $4.0 million, partially offset by increases in home equity loans of $10.8 million, residential real estate loans of $9.9 million, and commercial real estate loans of $1.9 million.

    Loans HFI at June 30, 2025 decreased by $29.3 million, or 1.1%, from March 31, 2025 and decreased by $20.1 million, or 0.8%, from December 31, 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decline was primarily due to decreases in construction loans of $18.2 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $8.7 million, commercial loans of $4.4 million, and commercial real estate loans of $4.4 million, partially offset by increases in residential real estate loans of $5.8 million and home equity loans of $2.2 million. Compared to December 31, 2024, the decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in construction loans of $45.9 million, commercial loans of $9.2 million, and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $2.0 million, partially offset by increases in commercial real estate loans of $23.4 million, residential real estate loans of $17.9 million, and home equity loans of $8.1 million.

    Allowance for Credit Losses

    At June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $29.9 million compared to $29.7 million at March 31, 2025 and $29.3 million at December 31, 2024. Activity within the allowance is provided on Page 14. The slight increase in the allowance over March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to qualitative factor adjustments that were partially offset by lower loan balances. Net loan charge-offs for both the second quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2025 were comparable at nine basis points of average loans. At June 30, 2025, the allowance represented 1.13% of loans HFI compared to 1.12% at March 31, 2025, and 1.10% at December 31, 2024.

    Credit Quality

    Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $6.6 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $4.4 million at March 31, 2025 and $6.7 million at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.15%, compared to 0.10% at March 31, 2025 and 0.15% at December 31, 2024. Nonaccrual loans totaled $6.4 million at June 30, 2025, a $2.2 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $0.1 million increase over December 31, 2024 with the increase over the first quarter of 2025 primarily attributable to two home equity loans totaling $1.8 million. Classified loans totaled $28.6 million at June 30, 2025, a $9.4 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $8.7 million increase over December 31, 2024. The increase over the prior periods was primarily due to the downgrade of four residential real estate loans totaling $4.2 million and two commercial real estate loans totaling $4.3 million.

    Deposits

    Average total deposits were $3.681 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $15.2 million, or 0.4%, over the first quarter of 2025 and an increase of $80.3 million, or 2.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2024.   Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was attributable to higher core deposit balances (primarily noninterest bearing checking and money market), partially offset by a decline in public funds balances (primarily NOW accounts) due to the seasonal reduction in those balances. The increase over the fourth quarter of 2024 reflected strong growth in core deposit balances and a seasonal increase in public funds balances (primarily NOW) which are received/deposited by those clients starting in December and peak on average in the first quarter.

    At June 30, 2025, total deposits were $3.705 billion, a decrease of $79.0 million, or 2.1%, from March 31, 2025, and an increase of $32.9 million, or 0.9%, over December 31, 2024. The decrease from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a seasonal decline in public funds balances, (primarily money market and noninterest bearing). The increase over December 31, 2024 reflected higher core deposit balances, primarily noninterest bearing accounts. Public funds totaled $596.6 million at June 30, 2025, $648.0 million at March 31, 2025, and $660.9 million at December 31, 2024.

    Liquidity

    We maintained an average net overnight funds (i.e., deposits with banks plus FED funds sold less FED funds purchased) sold position of $348.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $320.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $298.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Compared to both prior periods, the increase reflected higher average deposits and lower average loans.

    At June 30, 2025, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.603 billion (excludes overnight funds position of $395 million) in additional liquidity through various sources including various federal funds purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and brokered deposits.

    We also view our investment portfolio as a liquidity source, as we have the option to pledge securities in our portfolio as collateral for borrowings or deposits and/or to sell selected securities in our portfolio. Our portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. governmental agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities. At June 30, 2025, the weighted-average maturity and duration of our portfolio were 2.66 years and 2.14 years, respectively, and the available-for-sale portfolio had a net unrealized after-tax loss of $13.4 million.

    Capital

    Shareowners’ equity was $526.4 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $512.6 million at March 31, 2025 and $495.3 million at December 31, 2024. For the first six months of 2025, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to shareowners of $31.9 million, a net $5.5 million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, the issuance of common stock of $2.8 million, and stock compensation accretion of $0.9 million. The net favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a $6.4 million decrease in the investment securities loss that was partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in the fair value of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt. Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends of $8.2 million ($0.48 per share) and net adjustments totaling $1.8 million related to transactions under our stock compensation plans.

    At June 30, 2025, our total risk-based capital ratio was 19.60% compared to 19.20% at March 31, 2025 and 18.64% at December 31, 2024. Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.81%, 16.08%, and 15.54%, respectively, on these dates. Our leverage ratio was 11.14%, 11.17%, and 11.05%, respectively, on these dates. At June 30, 2025, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards. Further, our tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 10.09% at June 30, 2025 compared to 9.61% and 9.51% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. If the unrealized loss for held-to-maturity securities of $9.9 million (after-tax) was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital ratio would be 9.86%.

    USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
    Unaudited

    We present a tangible common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that removes the effect of goodwill and other intangibles resulting from merger and acquisition activity. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to more easily compare our capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently.

    The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are provided below.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitfarms Announces Corporate Share Buyback Program

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s second amended and restated prospectus supplement dated December 17, 2024, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated November 10, 2023.

    TORONTO, Ontario, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitfarms Ltd. (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF) (“Bitfarms” or the “Company”), a global energy and compute infrastructure company, today announced that the Board of Directors has approved effective immediately the commencement of a corporate share buyback program. Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has accepted the notice filed by the Company to establish a normal course issuer bid program (the “Program”).

    Under the Program, the Company is authorized to purchase up to 49,943,031 of its common shares (out of the 557,548,857 common shares outstanding as at July 14, 2025) representing up to 10% of the Company’s public float of 499,430,313 common shares, during the period starting on July 28, 2025 and ending on July 27, 2026.

    CEO Ben Gagnon stated, “We believe that Bitfarms’ shares are currently undervalued because our Bitcoin business is underappreciated by the market, with little to no value being associated with our HPC potential. This Program demonstrates our confidence in Bitfarms’ business, our management team, and most importantly our high-performance computing data center growth strategy. We strongly believe our unique and highly desirable energy portfolio in Pennsylvania will drive long-term, sustainable growth that is financeable and enables management to leverage its balance sheet strength to drive shareholder value with this buyback program while simultaneously pursuing growth opportunities in HPC/AI to best capitalize on our substantial US energy pipeline.”

    The timing, price and volume of repurchases will depend on a variety of factors including corporate liquidity requirements and priorities, as well as general market conditions, the share price, regulatory requirements and limitations, and other factors.

    Bitfarms may purchase shares, from time to time, through the facilities of the TSX and/or the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”), or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX and/or Nasdaq or under applicable law. Daily repurchases on the TSX will be limited to a maximum of 494,918 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (being 1,979,673 common shares), except where purchases are made in accordance with the “block purchase exception” of the TSX rules. Purchases of common shares through the Nasdaq will be made in the normal course and will not, during the twelve-month period ending July 27, 2026 exceed, in the aggregate, 5% of the outstanding common shares as at the commencement of the Program. All shares purchased by the Company under the Program will be cancelled.

    Purchases will be made by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the TSX and/or the Nasdaq and the price which the Company will pay for any such common shares will be the market price of any such common shares at the time of acquisition, or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX and/or the Nasdaq.

    In connection with the Program, the Company has entered into an automatic repurchase arrangement with its designated broker to allow for purchases of its common shares during certain pre-determined blackout periods, based on Company instructions provided when not in blackout. Outside of these pre-determined blackout periods, any repurchases of common shares will be in accordance with management’s discretion, subject to applicable law. Although the Company has a present intention to acquire its common shares pursuant to the Program, the Company will not be obligated to make any purchases under said Program.

    NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN
    Higher reflective of larger balance sheet and higher asset yields.

    • Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis1 increased to $521.9 million compared to $393.0 million, driven by Bremer, loan growth, higher asset yields and more days in the quarter, partly offset by higher funding costs.
    • Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis1 increased 26 bps to 3.53%.
    • Cost of total deposits was 1.93%, increasing 2 bps and the cost of total interest-bearing deposits increased 6 bps to 2.52%.

    Increase driven by Bremer and organic growth of fee-based businesses.

    Higher reflective of Bremer, disciplined expense management drives efficiency ratio lower.

    • Noninterest expense was $384.8 million and included $41.2 million of merger-related charges.
    • Excluding merger-related charges, adjusted noninterest expense1 was $343.6 million, compared to $262.6 million, driven primarily by elevated operating costs and additional intangibles amortization, both related to the Bremer transaction.

    CAPITAL
    Capital ratios remain strong.

    • Preliminary total risk-based capital down 109 bps to 12.59% and preliminary regulatory Tier 1 capital down 103 bps to 11.20%, as strong retained earnings were more than offset by the Bremer transaction and loan growth.

    USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
    The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP performance results, which the Company believes are useful because they assist investors in assessing the Company’s operating performance. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables at the end of this release.

    The Company presents EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and net income applicable to common shares, all adjusted for certain notable items. These items include CECL Day 1 non-PCD provision expense, merger-related charges associated with completed and pending acquisitions, a pension plan gain, debt securities gains/losses, separation expense, distribution of excess pension assets expense, and FDIC special assessment expense. Management believes excluding these items from EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity may be useful in assessing the Company’s underlying operational performance since these items do not pertain to its core business operations and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods. Management believes that excluding merger-related charges from these metrics may be useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since these expenses can vary significantly based on the size, type, and structure of each acquisition. Additionally, management believes excluding these items from these metrics may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.

    Income tax expense, provision for credit losses, and the certain notable items listed above are excluded from the calculation of pre-provision net revenues, adjusted due to the fluctuation in income before income tax and the level of provision for credit losses required. Management believes adjusted pre-provision net revenues may be useful in assessing the Company’s underlying operating performance and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.

    The Company presents adjusted noninterest expense, which excludes merger-related charges associated with completed and pending acquisitions, separation expense, distribution of excess pension assets expense, and FDIC special assessment expense, as well as adjusted noninterest income, which excludes a pension plan gain and debt securities gains/losses. Management believes that excluding these items from noninterest expense and noninterest income may be useful in assessing the Company’s underlying operational performance as these items either do not pertain to its core business operations or their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.

    The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income and net interest margin recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented using the current federal income tax rate of 21%. Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and that it may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.

    In management’s view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company’s use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution’s capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from stockholders’ equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

    Although intended to enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other financial institutions to assess their business and performance. See the following reconciliations in the “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.

  • MIL-OSI: Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results for 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    GREAT NECK, N.Y., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOAN) (the “Company”) announced today that its total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were approximately $2,355,000, compared to approximately $2,443,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $88,000, or 3.6%. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower interest income, resulting from a reduction in loans receivable, period-over-period, partially offset by an increase of origination fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately $1,899,000 and $2,033,000, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were attributable to interest income on secured commercial loans that the Company offered to real estate investors, and approximately $456,000 and $411,000, respectively, of its revenues were attributable to origination fees on such loans. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers.

    Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $1,413,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.44 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $1,409,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.44 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4,000.

    Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were approximately $4,629,000, compared to approximately $5,016,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $387,000, or 7.7%. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower interest income, resulting from a reduction in loans receivable, period-over-period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, revenues of approximately $3,733,000 and $4,175,000, respectively, were attributable to interest income on secured commercial loans that the Company offered to real estate investors, and approximately $896,000 and $841,000, respectively, were attributable to origination fees on such loans. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers.

    Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $2,786,000, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.44 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $2,885,000, or $0.25 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.44 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $99,000, or 3.4%. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in interest income from loans, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.

    As of June 30, 2025, total shareholders’ equity was approximately $43,427,000.

    Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “Interest rates are still weighing on the real estate markets; therefore, we’re experiencing a slower pace of loan closings versus our typical pace, and longer loan terms, reflected by a higher amount of extended loans over the initial ultra short term of one year. Yet, we managed to deliver another quarter with net earnings of $0.12.”

Actual results may differ materially from those projected, expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following: (i) our loan origination activities, revenues and profits are limited by available funds; (ii) we operate in a highly competitive market and competition may limit our ability to originate loans with favorable interest rates; (iii) our Chief Executive Officer is critical to our business and our future success may depend on our ability to retain him; (iv) if we overestimate the yields on our loans or incorrectly value the collateral securing the loan, we may experience losses; (v) we may be subject to “lender liability” claims; (vi) our due diligence may not uncover all of a borrower’s liabilities or other risks to its business; (vii) borrower concentration could lead to significant losses; (viii) we may choose to make distributions in our own stock, in which case you may be required to pay income taxes in excess of the cash dividends you receive; (ix) an increase in interest rates may impact our profitability; (x) we may be unsuccessful in our efforts to extend or replace our existing credit line; and (xi) we may be unsuccessful in our efforts to refinance our 6% senior secured notes, due April 22, 2026. The risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission identify important factors that could cause such differences.

  • MIL-OSI: Hut 8 Advances Capital Strategy with DIFC License

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MIAMI, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq | TSX: HUT) (“Hut 8” or the “Company”), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive use cases such as Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing, today announced that its subsidiary, Hut 8 Investment Ltd, has secured a Commercial License in the Dubai International Financial Centre (“DIFC”). The license authorizes proprietary investments and certain non-financial commercial activity under the DIFC’s legal and regulatory framework, which is based on international standards and principles of common law.

    The DIFC license represents a structural expansion of Hut 8’s capital strategy, enhancing the Company’s ability to deploy Bitcoin held in reserve into structured derivatives strategies. The license is expected to broaden access to institutional counterparties, reduce trading friction, and lower transaction costs. In fiscal year 2024, Hut 8 generated more than $20 million in net proceeds from covered call options premiums on Bitcoin held in reserve. Through its presence in the DIFC, Hut 8 expects to unlock multiple advantages that support continued expansion of its active treasury management program, including:

    • Direct access to global derivatives markets: Enables Hut 8 to trade directly on institutional exchanges, reducing reliance on OTC intermediaries that historically introduced cost friction relative to spot pricing
    • Broader access to institutional-grade products and counterparties: Unlocks a wider set of global liquidity providers and instruments, enhancing strategic optionality
    • Greater flexibility in structured strategy design and execution: Allows Hut 8 to construct and manage advanced yield strategies that would more difficult to execute without a DIFC license
    • Supportive regulatory environment within a common law framework: Dubai offers an established legal and regulatory foundation for institutional digital asset activity, supporting enhanced enforceability, compliance certainty, and jurisdictional alignment

    “We believe that securing a DIFC license enhances our ability to drive outsized shareholder returns through our integrated capital strategy,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. “It allows us to execute directly on global derivatives markets, reduce trading costs, and access a broader range of institutional products. Within a regulatory environment that supports structured digital asset strategies, we believe we can manage Bitcoin held in reserve more efficiently, manage risk with greater precision, and optimize yield through disciplined, proactive management.”

    About Hut 8 

    Hut 8 Corp. is an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive use cases such as Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing.

  • MIL-OSI: Landlord Sentiment Shifts in 2025: Fewer Acquisitions, More Spending on Existing Properties

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New survey results from RentRedi, the fastest-growing rental management software, including joint data from BiggerPockets, show a measurable shift in landlord priorities for 2025. Compared to late 2024, fewer landlords plan to expand their portfolios, while more are investing in property improvements and optimizing operations. RentRedi’s rental market survey examines notable shifts in trends relating to investment strategies, renovation spending, and business priorities over time.

    As a follow-up to a survey that was conducted in November 2024, the same questions were posed to U.S. landlords between June 3-26, 2025, and responses were analyzed by region and landlord size. Over the past six months, the share of landlords planning to buy new properties dropped from 67% in November 2024 to 53% in June 2025—a 14-point decline. During the same period, the portion of landlords with no plans to change their portfolio rose by 11% from 32% to over 43%. Fewer than 1 in 25 landlords say they plan to sell a rental property this year.

    Regionally, the West experienced the biggest shift in sentiment, with the number of landlords saying they have no plans to make portfolio changes rising from 39% to 53%, a 14-point increase. In contrast, the Northeast was the most acquisition-oriented region, with 57% of investors still planning to buy property in 2025, outpacing the national average.

    Differences by landlord size also emerged. While all portfolio sizes saw a decline in buying plans, landlords with 20 or more units remain more active than their smaller counterparts. A little over 1 in 5 large landlords plan to both buy and sell property this year, compared to just 5% of small landlords. Nearly half of small landlords say they have no plans to change their portfolio, compared to 38% of large landlords.

    Another major shift is visible in home improvement plans. As of June, 35% of landlords expect to spend more than $20,000 on property upgrades this year, up from 27% in November. Nearly 2 in 3 respondents anticipate spending over $5,000 in total. Landlords with large portfolios are leading the charge: nearly two-thirds expect to spend more than $20,000, up from 36% in November. Small landlords remained more conservative, with nearly half still budgeting under $5,000.

    Regionally, the Midwest and West saw the most dramatic increases in high-dollar spending. In both regions, the share of landlords expecting to invest more than $20,000 rose by 10 points or more. At the same time, a June joint survey with BiggerPockets found that exactly half of landlords have paused some or all home improvement projects planned for 2025, suggesting a range of financial strategies and priorities depending on portfolio structure and resources.

    A separate July survey from RentRedi and BiggerPockets explored the reasons behind declining acquisition plans. More than half of landlords cited property prices as the biggest barrier to buying, while nearly a quarter pointed to interest rates. Others said slow revenue growth or time commitment were their main challenges.

    When asked what they hoped to achieve by using tools or resources in their rental business, more than one-third said increasing revenue was most important. Another one-third prioritized saving time and effort, followed by reducing costs and increasing property value.

    “With tools like RentRedi, landlords are managing their properties more efficiently, even as they face evolving challenges,” said RentRedi Co-founder and CEO Ryan Barone. “From automation to mobile access to financial reporting, we’re focused on giving landlords the control and visibility they need to make smarter decisions—whether they’re expanding, renovating, or holding steady.”

    Landlord motivations remained consistent across the board. Income generation continues to be the top reason for managing rental properties, selected by over 40% of respondents, followed by long-term investment and financial freedom. Larger landlords are more focused on income—more than half selected it as their primary goal, compared to about one-third who emphasized long-term investment and 16% who cited financial freedom, which is slightly below the 18% national average.

    Diversification appears to be a low priority in 2025. About 40% of landlords said they do not plan to diversify their portfolios by property type or location, and another quarter are unsure. Slightly more than 1 in 3 landlords say they plan to diversify in any way this year.

    This report is part of RentRedi’s ongoing initiative to surface real-world insights from landlords and property managers through data, direct surveys, and collaborations with trusted communities like BiggerPockets. For more data insight and survey result reports, visit RentRedi’s Rental Market Insights.

    Survey Methodology

    RentRedi landlords were surveyed between June 3-26, 2025. There were 1,623 respondents in total. Landlords were classified into U.S. regions by their primary business location as follows: Northeast (CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI); Midwest (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI, VT); South (AL, AR, DC, DE, FL, GA, KY, LA, MD, MS, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX, VA, WV); and West (AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NM, NV, OR, UT, WA, WY). Landlords were also classified by real estate portfolio size as follows: small landlords (1-4 rental units); medium landlords (5-19 rental units); and large landlords (20+ rental units). Percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole number, and therefore the values in each barchart may not equal 100%. Separately, BiggerPockets conducted its own surveys via YouTube in June and July 2025. The full survey results can be found here.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Solaris Announces Final Genesis Event Offering: $1 Token Price for Last 100 Participants

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Every altcoin season brings surprises. Some coins pump on pure hype. Others, like Bitcoin Solaris, are building real momentum by delivering on tech, scalability, and accessibility. The crypto market is once again heating up with investors racing to secure what could be the next big success story. Unlike overhyped projects riding temporary waves, Bitcoin Solaris has built its case on solid fundamentals. Its Genesis Event is currently rolling back the price from $13 to just $1 for a very short time, giving early investors a shot at a 1900% ROI before launch.

    With just 100 slots left, this is the kind of opportunity that feels like Bitcoin’s early days repeating themselves, but with modern tech, faster performance, and mobile-first accessibility at the heart of its offering. This is why so many crypto enthusiasts are now focusing on BTC-S as their top altcoin pick for serious long-term potential.

    Bitcoin Solaris: A Scalable, Mobile-First Future for Wealth Generation

    Bitcoin Solaris is not just another altcoin chasing trends. Its core technology is designed to solve the issues Bitcoin never could. Through its dual-consensus architecture, Bitcoin Solaris offers 10,000+ transactions per second, validator rotation for fairness and security, and energy efficiency 99.95% greater than traditional mining. Its mobile-first scalability through the upcoming Solaris Nova app ensures mass adoption potential by letting users mine easily from any device.

    These fundamentals make BTC-S more than hype. They make it a realistic contender for significant growth, offering everyday users new ways to build wealth through mining, transactions, and adoption.

    Presale Momentum: Only Few Slots Left at $1

    Bitcoin Solaris is now deep into its final presale phase, phase 13.

    • Current Price: $13
    • Launch Price: $20

    Over $7.7M has been raised. 15,800+ unique users have joined. This is already one of the most explosive presales on record. But what is truly making waves is the Genesis Event rollback. For a very limited time, BTC-S is rolling back from $13 to just $1 for the final 100 participants.

    Genesis Event Key Details:

    • Rollback to $1 instead of $13
    • Potential ROI of 1900% at launch
    • Only around 1 week left

    This is not labeled as a discount or bonus. It is a rare opportunity for those who move fast enough to secure it.

    Wallets like Trust Wallet and Metamask are recommended for receiving your tokens smoothly at launch.

    Forget Hype, Bitcoin Solaris Is Backed by Real Tech and Real Growth

    Influencers Are Talking

    The buzz around Bitcoin Solaris is growing fast. Multiple influencers have already taken notice.

    • Token Empire praised the scalability and dual-consensus model.
    • Crypto Vlog highlighted the mobile-first mining and high TPS.
    • Token Galaxy focused on how BTC-S could mirror Bitcoin’s early wealth potential.

    These are not throwaway reviews. These influencers are focused on fundamentals, and Bitcoin Solaris is delivering.

    Why Bitcoin Solaris Has the Community Excited

    Bitcoin Solaris offers more than speculation. Its foundation includes:

    • Energy-efficient mining
    • Dual-layer consensus for scalability and security
    • Smart contracts for DeFi adoption
    • 10,000+ TPS for real-world use
    • Mobile-first approach via the upcoming Solaris Nova app

    Benefits of liquid staking:

    • Earn rewards while keeping liquidity
    • sBTC-S tokens fully usable in DeFi platforms
    • Supports network strength through increased staking
    • Fully integrated with the Solaris Nova App and its smart validator system

    Learn more about this system at Bitcoin Solaris Liquid Staking.

    Final Verdict: Bitcoin Solaris Is the Opportunity

    Bitcoin Solaris is positioning itself as more than just another altcoin. With its advanced dual-consensus model, energy efficiency, and 10,000+ TPS scalability, BTC-S is built for real-world adoption while giving users easy access through mobile mining and DeFi. The project’s strategic rollout and growing user base show strong momentum heading into launch.

    This is not about guessing the next meme coin. Bitcoin Solaris offers a realistic pathway to wealth creation through technology, accessibility, and scalability. The fact that only 100 slots remain at $1 adds urgency to what is already one of the most talked-about opportunities in the altcoin space right now. If you missed Bitcoin’s early days or watched other projects 10x without you, this could be the moment to finally change that narrative.

    • Token Galaxy focused on how BTC-S could mirror Bitcoin’s early wealth potential.

    These are not throwaway reviews. These influencers are focused on fundamentals, and Bitcoin Solaris is delivering.

    Final Verdict: Bitcoin Solaris Is the Opportunity

    Bitcoin Solaris is positioning itself as more than just another altcoin. With its advanced dual-consensus model, energy efficiency, and 10,000+ TPS scalability, BTC-S is built for real-world adoption while giving users easy access through mobile mining and DeFi. The project’s strategic rollout and growing user base show strong momentum heading into launch.

    This is not about guessing the next meme coin. Bitcoin Solaris offers a realistic pathway to wealth creation through technology, accessibility, and scalability. The fact that only 100 slots remain at $1 adds urgency to what is already one of the most talked-about opportunities in the altcoin space right now. If you missed Bitcoin’s early days or watched other projects 10x without you, this could be the moment to finally change that narrative.

  • MIL-OSI: US Payday Loans Online No Credit Check : RadCred Expands Bad Credit Loans for a Credit Score of 580 or lower for US Borrowers

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Glendale, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — While many so‑called online loans no credit check sites have disappeared in the past year, Google Trends now places “payday loans online no credit check” and “online payday loans for bad credit” among the fastest‑rising finance queries of 2025. In this climate, RadCred has secured its position as the most dependable payday loan marketplace for borrowers with scores 580 or below

    Independent analytics firms rank the platform first for visitor volume in the same‑day loans category, and consumer‑finance reviewers highlight RadCred’s soft‑pull pre‑qualification, transparent APR tables, and rapid ACH funding that can rival “1 hour payday loans no credit check” advertising claims. 

    By curating only state‑licensed and tribal direct lenders, RadCred delivers legitimate access to $255 payday loans online same day, small payday loans online no credit check, and other emergency‑cash products without exposing applicants to predatory rollover fees. In short, RadCred remains the rare, fully compliant bridge between heightened demand for bad credit payday loan options and a shrinking field of trustworthy providers.

    Growing Demand for Payday Loans Online and Bad‑Credit Loans Across the U.S

    Inflation, gig‑economy volatility, and tightening bank credit have pushed more Americans toward payday loans and other online loans for bad credit. Google Trends shows surging queries for “$255 payday loans online same day,” “payday loan online no credit check,” and “direct lenders only.”

    The Federal Reserve’s 2024 SHED survey reports that 60 percent of adults cannot cover a $400 emergency without borrowing or selling assets. Sub‑prime borrowers now turn to no credit payday loans search results hoping to avoid multiple denials.

    Payday Loans vs. Personal Installment Loans for a 580 Credit Score

    A bad credit payday loan typically requires repayment in a single lump sum on the borrower’s next payday, whereas a personal installment loan splits costs over three to 24 months. Both can originate entirely online, start with a no credit check loans style soft pull, and through RadCred come from state‑licensed direct lenders. Borrowers compare total repayment to decide whether a fast payday loans online same day option or a longer installment schedule better fits their budget.

    How RadCred Routes Borrowers to Online Payday Loans for Bad Credit

    1. Soft‑Inquiry Pre‑Screen – No hard pull to preview offers.
    2. Licensing Filter – Only compliant lenders appear.
    3. Smart‑Match Engine – Scores wages, benefits, gig deposits.
    4. Offer Display – APR, fees, funding speed (including same day loans).
    5. E‑Sign & Fund – Can deposit within hours for approved requests like small payday loans online no credit check seekers.

    Soft Pull vs. “No Credit Check” and “Guaranteed Approval” Claims

    Advertising copy frequently touts phrases such as “online loans no credit check,” “payday loans online no credit check,” and “guaranteed approval.” In a regulated environment, however, licensed lenders must still conduct due‑diligence reviews and cannot offer unconditional acceptance. RadCred therefore provides explicit clarification. Each application commences with a soft credit inquiry often marketed as a no credit check step so preliminary shopping does not affect an applicant’s FICO score. 

    Should an individual proceed with an offer, the relevant direct lender may execute a hard inquiry or request income documentation to substantiate repayment capacity. Consequently, the expression “guaranteed approval” should be interpreted as indicating a high preliminary match probability for qualified borrowers, rather than an assurance of funding.

    Who Uses Radcred Payday Loans Online Same Day in 2025?

    Internal RadCred analytics indicate that the predominant users of the platform are adults between 22 and 45 years of age, many of whom derive income from gig‑economy or part‑time positions and possess either sub‑prime scores or thin credit files. These applicants typically request modest principal amounts most frequently between $255 and $500 to address urgent obligations such as rent or utility arrears. Their search queries feature terms like “online payday loans for bad credit and “same‑day loans” when expenses arise before payday.

    Step‑by‑Step: Applying Without Hurting Your Credit Score

    1. Check credit files.
    2. Pre‑qualify on RadCred with a soft pull.
    3. Compare offers, including APR on online payday loans and small personal loans.
    4. Upload pay stub or bank screenshot.
    5. E‑sign disclosures.
    6. Receive ACH funds—sometimes in under an hour.
    7. Repay on schedule; many lenders waive early‑pay fees.

    RadCred vs. Traditional Payday Stores

    Heading to a storefront lender still means driving across town, waiting in line, filling out forms by hand, and writing a post‑dated check not ideal when payday loans online or same‑day loans can be requested from your phone in minutes. Miss the lump‑sum due date and renewal fees snowball fast. The fine print usually shows up only at the counter, and every fresh application can trigger a hard credit inquiry that drops an already low score. Long lines, short business hours, and paper receipts add more hassle, while many single‑location shops never post full APR tables or meet modern data‑security standards.

    RadCred brings the whole process online. A simple, mobile‑friendly form grabs basic details, runs a soft‑credit check often marketed as an online loan no credit check step—and instantly lists state‑licensed offers from direct lenders only with clear APR, fees, and total repayment. Funds move by ACH, so approved same‑day payday loans can land in a checking account within hours no lines, no paper checks. AES‑256 encryption and SOC‑2‑audited servers protect personal data, while a ZIP‑code filter screens out unlicensed lenders.

    Borrowers get quicker, safer access to transparent payday loans online for bad credit and small payday loans online no credit check with minimal impact on their credit scores.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What APR can I expect with a 580 credit score?
    State caps vary; payday APRs can exceed 200 %, while installment loans via RadCred may start near 35 %.

    Can I get a no credit payday loan truly without a hard inquiry?
    A hard pull may still occur after you accept an offer.

    How fast do same‑day payday loans fund?
    Cut‑off‑time approvals may post within hours, but next‑day deposits are common.

    Are there online loans no credit check for larger amounts?
    Bigger sums usually require at least a soft pull and sometimes collateral or co‑signers.

    Will paying a payday loan on time improve my score?
    Only if the lender reports to at least one bureau.

    Conclusion

    RadCred’s refreshed marketplace converts stressful “loan denied” searches into side‑by‑side comparisons of payday loans online, payday loans online same day, and installment alternatives. After a simple soft credit pull as online loans no credit check—the platform displays only licensed, direct‑lender offers, complete with APR and total‑repay figures. Funding speeds can rival promises like “1 hour payday loans no credit check” or “$255 payday loans online same day,” yet borrowers see transparent, clearly disclosed terms before signing. Consumers with credit scores 580 or below gain responsible access to same‑day loans, bad credit payday loan options, and emergency cash without predatory rollover traps.

    About RadCred

    Founded in 2018, RadCred connects applicants to a vetted network of state‑licensed and tribal lenders offering online loans from $255 payday loans online same day to $5,000 installment plans. The platform uses income‑first underwriting, encrypted data handling, and clear cost disclosures to expand small‑dollar credit for underserved Americans.

    Disclaimer

    RadCred is not a lender. Loan approval, APR, fees, amount, and funding speed are set by participating lenders and governed by applicable law. Preliminary offers use a soft inquiry; a hard pull may follow acceptance. Availability varies by state. Borrow responsibly—only what you can repay.

  • MIL-OSI: BlockchainCloudMining Launches Stable Yield Contract for XRP Holders, Earning Over $7,700 a Day

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, NY, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a major step forward for digital asset utility, BlockchainCloudMining has officially launched its next-generation cloud mining platform, specifically optimized for XRP holders. As cryptocurrency markets begin to rebound, this platform offers investors a powerful new tool to turn dormant holdings into daily passive income—with some contracts yielding returns of over $7,700 per day.

    In the past few years, Ripple (XRP), as a star currency in international payment scenarios, has millions of holders around the world. Although its transaction speed and handling fee advantages are widely recognized, most investors are still trapped in the passive strategy of “buy-hold-wait and see”. Now, a more operational and closer to real-world benefits is becoming popular: use XRP to directly participate in cloud mining and let digital assets “work” for you every day.

    Innovative model: Blockchain cloud mining wealth is growing steadily

    BlockchainCloudMining is an innovative technology company headquartered in London, UK, focusing on providing multi-currency cloud mining solutions to users around the world. Compared with the traditional “self-purchased mining machines, self-built computer rooms, and self-managed computing power”, the platform has built a low-threshold and high-yield model of “invest and mine immediately” for users, which is particularly suitable for highly liquid crypto assets such as XRP.

    The advantages of the BlockchainCloudMining platform are as follows:

    Register to get an instant reward of $12.
    High profit level and daily dividends.
    No other service fees or management fees.
    The platform supports more than 9 cryptocurrency settlements, such as DOGE, BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC, USDT, XRP, LTC, and BCH.
    The company’s affiliate program allows you to recommend friends and get up to $50,000 in referral bonuses.
    ⦁ McAfee® security. Cloudflare® security. 100% uptime guarantee and excellent 24/7 manual online technical support.

    How to use BlockchainCloudMining to easily earn daily income?

    Step 1: Register an account
    You can register an account by entering your email address and setting a platform login password. After registration, you will receive a $12 registration bonus, which can be used to purchase a $12 contract with a daily income of $0.6. This plan provides users with free cloud mining services without any financial risk.

    Step 2: Purchase a mining contract
    BlockchainCloudMining offers a variety of mining contract options, such as $100, $500, and $1,000 contracts. Each contract has a unique return on investment (ROI) and a specific contract period. You can earn more efficient and stable income by participating in the following contracts:
    ⦁【New User Experience Contract】: Investment amount: $100, contract period 2 days, total income: $100 + $6.
    ⦁【WhatsMiner M66S】: Investment amount: $500, contract period 7 days, total income: $500 + $45.5.
    ⦁【WhatsMiner M60】: Investment amount: $1,000, contract period 14 days, total return: $1,000 + $196.
    ⦁【Bitcoin Miner S21+】: Investment amount: $3,000, contract period 20 days, total return: $3,000 + $900.
    ⦁【ALPH Miner AL1】: Investment amount: $10,000, contract period 35 days, total return: $10,000 + $5,950.
    ⦁【ANTSPACE HK3】: Investment amount: $33,000, contract period 40 days, total return: $33,000 + $26,400.

    You can get the return the next day after purchasing the contract, or you can choose to withdraw to your crypto wallet or continue to purchase other contracts.
    (The platform has launched a number of stable income contracts. For more contract details, please visit Blockchaincloudmining.com official website)

    Looking to the future: Make “financial freedom” truly achievable
    As a leader in the payment chain, the value of XRP should not be limited to “transfer tools”. The success of BlockchainCloudMining has verified a new direction: through resource integration, digital assets can have stable cash flow functions.

    In today’s global economic uncertainty, this kind of “low-risk, stable return” investment model is increasingly accepted and sought after by investors. For those investors who want to jump out of the vortex of currency price fluctuations and achieve long-term steady growth, this is undoubtedly a feasible, realistic, and verified path.

    In short: From a coin holder to a passive income controller, you are only one contract away
    In the blockchain world, time never waits for anyone. In the past, you may have been a passive XRP investor, but now, you can use your assets to participate in a mature and transparent system-BlockchainCloudMining, so that each of your XRPs can become a “digital mining machine” that continues to generate interest.

    True financial freedom is not about waiting for the price of coins to soar and get rich overnight, but about taking control of your daily cash flow.

    Kavango West 1X (Prospect I) – Spud scheduled before end of July

    The drilling rig has been safely moved on-site and all necessary permits required to spud the well have been received by the Company from the various regulators. Final drill-rig assembly and safety checks are underway and the Kavango West 1X exploration well is scheduled to spud before the end of July. The well is planned to reach total depth (TD) of approximately 3,800 metres (12,500 feet) and is expected to penetrate over 1,500 metres of Otavi carbonate reservoir section, which is the primary target of the Damara Fold Belt play.

    The Kavango West 1X exploration well will be the second test in the expansive Damara Fold Belt play. The prospect is a large structural fold identified on modern 2D seismic data, which extends over 22 kilometers long by three kilometers wide. The Company has identified over 19 prospects and leads mapped in the Damara Fold Belt trend, with an additional 5.0 million acres captured in a recently executed Memorandum of Understanding in offsetting Angola.

    Brian Reinsborough, President and CEO of ReconAfrica stated: “Everyone at the Company has worked diligently to get drill-ready on the Kavango West 1X prospect and we are excited to spud the well in the coming days. We recognize the importance of this play opening well holds for our shareholders, the local communities in which we operate and the broader energy industry in Namibia. We are committed to remaining engaged with local communities and authorities and to ensuring the safe and efficient operation of this well.”

    Board of Directors Update

    Iman Hill, who was appointed a Director of ReconAfrica in August 2023, has resigned from the Board of Directors effective July 31, 2025, due to foreign work obligations. Following Iman’s resignation, the Board of Directors will consist of five members, three of whom are independent directors. Currently, the Board of Directors intends to remain at five seats.

    Diana McQueen, Board Chair of ReconAfrica commented: “We thank Iman for her work and guidance over the past two years and wish her well in her future endeavors.

    With respect to the Kavango West 1X well, ReconAfrica wishes to thank all community and regulatory stakeholders in Namibia for working with the Company to bring the well to the current drill-ready stage. ReconAfrica remains engaged with its stakeholders and is focused on operations that are safe for all employees and neighbouring communities, as well as wildlife and the environment.”

    One of the Shortest Presales in Crypto Is Already Delivering

    The Bitcoin Swift presale is gaining momentum thanks to its unique structure. With only 62 days total across all stages, BTC3 offers one of the shortest presale windows in the industry. Stage 1 is already live at just $1.00, with the next stage rising to $2.00 and a confirmed launch price at $15.00. Stage 1 participants are already benefiting from the Proof-of-Yield system, earning mining rewards at the end of each presale stage. This isn’t speculation. It’s a system built to reward action from day one.

    Unlike projects that leave users waiting for utility, Bitcoin Swift ties participation directly to output through programmable mining rewards. This has helped solidify BTC3 as one of the most talked-about blockchain launches of the year. Thousands are already tracking updates through Bitcoin Swift and the official Telegram, signaling strong demand and growing network effects.

    AI-Powered Privacy and Stablecoin Utility Complete the Picture

    Beyond infrastructure and mining, Bitcoin Swift has positioned itself as a leader in responsible DeFi through its AI-integrated privacy system and stablecoin architecture. Users can transact using a shielded ledger supported by zk-transfer proofs, ensuring their financial behavior remains private while still compliant with regulatory demands. Identity verification happens through decentralized ID systems that allow users to prove attributes without revealing them.

    To support stable transactions within the ecosystem, Bitcoin Swift will also introduce BTC3U, a USD-pegged overcollateralized stablecoin. Minted by locking BTC3 into smart contracts, BTC3U remains stable through a 150%+ collateral ratio, enforced by real-time updates from AI price oracles. Liquidations, if required, are automatically executed through smart contracts. All key parameters, from stability fees to emergency thresholds, are governed by the community using AI-assisted proposal screening.

    With Bitcoin Swift’s hybrid model and AI integration, conversations have sparked across the crypto space. Influencers like Crypto Sister are giving it the spotlight through in-depth reviews.

    Conclusion

    Bitcoin Swift is not just another blockchain project trying to ride the wave of AI. It is a protocol that fundamentally rethinks how mining, privacy, governance, and scalability can work together in a single architecture. The fact that more than 500 investors joined within the first presale stage is a reflection of growing confidence in what BTC3 represents. As programmable mining meets federated AI, and privacy combines with utility, Bitcoin Swift is charting a course that few others in the crypto world are even prepared to imagine.

    Press Release

    Eviden sets the stage for AtLaS, the European Defence Fund challenge on Human Language Technology processing

    Selected by the European Commission, Eviden will provide a platform to integrate the applications and its own innovative human language processing application

    Paris, France – July 22, 2025 – Eviden, the Atos Group product brand leading in advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and vision AI, today announces that it has been selected by the European Commission to provide the technical platform to host and integrate the applications developed by the nine selected organizations constituting the AtLaS consortium for the HLTP Challenge. This project, one of the four selected projects, is launched and financed by the European Defence Fund. Eviden will also supply BARTENDER, its own innovative software which enables natural language processing in hundreds of languages.

    The AtLaS project focuses on advancing Human Language Technology (HLT) in defense, by combining artificial intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to handle low-quality and multilingual data. AtLaS’ objectives include developing resilient systems for noise and multiple language handling, leveraging advanced training and technologies like denoising. During the challenge, the participating consortium members will have the opportunity to improve defense communication and intelligence gathering as well as create adaptable systems for a European library of language technologies.

    Bernard Payer, Global Head of Mission-Critical Systems, Eviden, Atos Group, said: “We are proud to have been selected by the European Commission on the HLTP challenge and to leverage our expertise in Systems Integration and Human Language Processing within a consortium of industrial companies. This is all the more important as HLTP is an essential tool for identifying threats and gathering information that can be exploited for defense purposes.”

    AtLaS aims to evaluate the automatic language processing (ALP) solutions provided by various European partners in the defense sector. It addresses the specific constraints of these solutions’ operational frameworks, such as processing different dialects and languages in degraded and varied contexts including noisy environments, theaters of operation, and communications.

  • MIL-OSI: HEGE Listed on Bitrue Alpha as Animal Memecoin Sector Sees Renewed Attention

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Singapore-based exchange Bitrue has officially listed HEGE on its new Bitrue Alpha platform today, July 21. Bitrue, launched in July 2018 and now supporting over 700 cryptocurrencies, adds HEGE to its growing roster of assets, providing expanded access and liquidity for global users.

    This milestone comes amid a broader resurgence in animal‑based memecoins. Over the past seven days, the global market cap of animal-themed memecoins has risen by 8.95%, while trading volume across the sector has surged by 101%, underscoring renewed interest and participation worldwide.

    Within that same period, HEGE itself has climbed 11.6%, reflecting growing attention and engagement from its community.

    This milestone arrives as interest in long‑term community‑driven memecoins continues to rise. HEGE, a hedgehog‑themed token on the Solana blockchain, has steadily evolved beyond a typical meme asset into what its community calls a brandcoin, blending on‑chain culture with off‑chain brand development.

    Timely Expansion: Bitrue Alpha Listing

    With the listing on Bitrue Alpha, HEGE holders and new participants alike gain access to one of Asia’s leading trading platforms, known for its broad asset support and strong infrastructure. Bitrue Alpha offers enhanced trading features and improved visibility for emerging projects, positioning HEGE for its next phase of growth.

    The team behind HEGE commented, “Today’s listing on Bitrue Alpha is another step in bringing HEGE to a broader global audience. We’re excited to expand our reach and continue building a project rooted in culture and creativity.”

    Building Beyond a Memecoin

    Launched over 15 months ago, HEGE has established itself through consistent community initiatives and an expanding ecosystem. Rather than operating as a short‑term meme, the project has focused on brand‑building and delivering creative content.

    Key highlights of the HEGE ecosystem include:

    • Hegends NFT Collection – Lore-based characters including Hege, Hegena, and Hendrix
    • Merchandise Store – A newly launched collection of on‑brand apparel and collectibles
    • Original Animated Content – HEGE is finalizing a contract with a professional studio to produce over 20 high‑quality animations in the coming weeks. All content is fully custom, from pre‑production through final output, and entirely non‑AI generated
    • Community Campaigns – Weekly raids, meme contests, and social challenges
    • Consistent Branding – A narrative universe positioning HEGE as more than just a meme

    A Market Ready for Growth

    As the broader cryptocurrency market gains traction and liquidity continues to flow across exchanges, projects with strong community foundations and creative direction are finding new opportunities. The Bitrue Alpha listing marks an important step for HEGE as it extends its presence to a wider global audience.

  • MIL-OSI: Bispecific Antibodies Market Set to Surge to $163.15 Billion by 2032, Driven by a Robust 40.1% CAGR | Roche, Amgen, and Johnson & Johnson at the Forefront: AnalystView Market Insights

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    San Francisco, USA, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global bispecific antibodies market is witnessing a transformative surge, projected to grow at an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.10%, reaching a valuation of approximately USD 163,149.35 million by 2032. This extraordinary growth is propelled by the increasing adoption of bispecific antibody therapies in oncology and immunology, groundbreaking clinical outcomes, and robust R&D investments aimed at next-generation biologics.

    Bispecific antibodies are bioengineered molecules designed to simultaneously recognize and bind to two different antigens or epitopes. Unlike monoclonal antibodies that target a single antigen, bispecific antibodies can link a disease-related antigen (such as one found on cancer cells) to another molecule—often a T-cell—thus redirecting immune cells to attack malignant tissues with heightened precision. This dual-binding capability is unlocking new therapeutic possibilities in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. As of 2024, over 300 bispecific antibodies are in global clinical development, with 14 already approved by the U.S. FDA, reflecting the sector’s rapid growth and clinical validation.

    Market Drivers

    1. Increasing Cancer Prevalence Globally
    Cancer remains a global health crisis, with the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating around 19.3 million new cancer cases and nearly 10 million deaths in 2023 alone. Traditional therapies are often limited by poor specificity and severe side effects, which have shifted the focus toward more targeted modalities, such as bispecific antibodies. Their unique mechanism allows precise tumor targeting while preserving healthy tissues, making them a preferred choice for next-gen cancer therapies.

    2. Regulatory Approvals and Accelerated Development Pathways
    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have actively supported innovative antibody therapeutics. Between 2022 and 2024, the FDA approved six bispecific antibodies, a testament to their growing clinical value. Regulatory agencies are also introducing expedited pathways for breakthrough therapies, speeding up market entry for promising candidates.

    3. Rising Investments in Immunotherapy and Biologics
    Governments and private players are significantly boosting funding for immunotherapy research. For instance, the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) allocated over USD 15 billion toward cancer research in 2023, a portion of which is directed toward the development of targeted therapies, including bispecific antibodies. This capital influx is catalyzing clinical trials, molecule discovery, and scalable manufacturing solutions.

    Market Challenges

    Despite the optimistic trajectory, the bispecific antibodies market faces notable challenges:

    • Complex Manufacturing: Producing bispecific antibodies involves intricate processes, such as protein folding and stability optimization, which increase production time and cost.
    • High Development Costs: The R&D cycle for bispecific therapies is long and resource-intensive, often requiring large-scale trials and advanced biotechnological platforms.
    • Immunogenicity Risks: Some bispecific formats can trigger unwanted immune responses, complicating their clinical profiles.

    Nonetheless, advances in antibody engineering, such as the development of Fc-engineered antibodies and T-cell engaging bispecifics (BiTEs), are helping overcome these limitations.

    Regional Insights

    North America is poised to maintain a dominant position in the global bispecific antibodies market. Its leadership is driven by:

    • A well-established biotech and pharma industry.
    • Substantial government and private R&D investments.
    • Early and streamlined regulatory approvals.

    In 2023 alone, the U.S. government dedicated nearly USD 7.9 billion toward cancer research, a portion of which supports novel antibody-based treatments. Moreover, the presence of major biopharmaceutical companies and academic research centers ensures rapid clinical development.

    Asia-Pacific, on the other hand, is anticipated to experience the fastest growth rate. Countries such as China, India, and South Korea are:

    • Increasing healthcare expenditures.
    • Encouraging local biotech innovation.
    • Expanding access to clinical trials and biologic therapies.

    China, for example, is investing heavily in biologics manufacturing capabilities and has introduced supportive regulations for fast-track drug approval, which will likely make the region a future hub for bispecific antibody development.

    LHV Group’s net income in the second quarter was affected by the continuing decline in interest rates. The higher profitability compared to the previous quarter resulted in a write-down effect of the previous provisions, which resulted in an increase of the Group’s net profit by 1.6 million euros in the second quarter. The second quarter was also marked by strong growth in loan volumes and deposits, which were 269 and 760 million euros, respectively, compared to the previous quarter.

    The number of LHV Pank clients increased by 8,300 over the quarter. During the same period, the bank’s deposits increased by 576 million euros, of which 113 million euros were deposits from financial intermediaries and 113 million euros were platform deposits. In the second quarter, an innovative banking service LHV Premium was also launched, combining everyday banking, insurance and travel services offering investment comfort. In addition, a new price list for the securities trading and investment account for pension entered into force in the second quarter, which reduced several investment-related fees by almost half.

    LHV Pank’s loan portfolio increased by 190 million euros and the quality of the portfolio remained strong. Due to the resolution of one of the major problems with creditworthiness and the improved economic situation, the provisions made earlier were reduced by 4.1 million euros.

    In the second quarter, LHV Pank issued covered bonds with a maturity of four years in the amount of 300 million euros, which were listed on the Dublin Stock Exchange for the purpose of diversifying financing sources. Covered bonds secured by Estonian home loans were sold to European institutional investors. 44 institutional investors participated in the offer and the offer was 2.5 times oversubscribed.

    The volume of deposits and loans of LHV Bank operating in the United Kingdom continued to grow in the second quarter – the loan portfolio increased by 79 million euros to 569 million euros. At the same time, loans worth 204 million euros have been approved by the Credit Committee but not yet issued.

    The deposits taken by LHV Bank increased by 202 million quarter-on-quarter and reached a record 1.02 billion euros. In the second quarter, the mobile bank of retail banking was launched, where the first 1,000 clients have opened an account and 17 million euros of new deposits have been received. LHV Bank earned a net profit of 0.1 million euros in quarter-on-quarter terms – lower profitability was due to higher marketing costs, conference participation fees, allocated costs and changes in the value of interest rate risk hedging contracts. In order to support the rapid growth of the loan portfolio, the share capital was increased by 12 million euros and subordinated bonds were issued in the amount of 12 million euros. As of the first half of the year, LHV Bank’s net income and net profit exceed strongly the financial plan.

    LHV Kindlustus showed strong growth in the second quarter, when the insurance revenue increased by 78% and net profit by 62% compared to the previous quarter, but the result of the second quarter was slightly below the financial plan. The volume of insurance premiums across the market decreased significantly compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The results for the first half of the year are well above the financial forecast. As of the end of June, LHV Kindlustus had 176,000 clients and 278,000 valid insurance contracts.

    The good rate of return shown by global financial markets in the second quarter was also reflected in LHV’s pension funds, which all offered a positive rate of return. The rates of return of LHV pension funds M, L and XL were 1.2%, 1.0% and 2.8%, respectively, in the quarter. The rate of return of the more conservative funds XS and S was 0.7% and 0.8%, respectively. Pensionifond Indeks increased by 3.0% and Pensionifond Roheline lost 4.4% in value. Net income of LHV Varahaldus remained largely the same as in the previous quarter and net profit increased. The number of second pillar clients making active monthly contributions was 110,000 by the end of the quarter.

    As important information, it was disclosed that as of September 2, the green pension funds of LHV II and III pillar will cease operations, merge with other LHV funds and will be consolidated into LHV pension funds S and M, and the names of the II pension pillar funds will change. As a result of the changes, LHV clients will have the option to choose from four actively managed pension funds to grow their savings. Starting in September, LHV’s actively managed pension funds will be named Julge, Ettevõtlik, Tasakaalukas, and Rahulik.

    As of the end of the half-year, LHV Group is well capitalised. AT1 bonds worth 50 million euros and unsecured bonds worth 60 million euros were issued in the second quarter. Moody’s Ratings raised the ratings for LHV Pank’s covered bond programme and covered bonds to the highest level, Aaa. The Moody’s Investors Service ratings agency left AS LHV Pank’s long-term deposits rating at A3 (with a positive outlook) and LHV Group’s long-term issuer rating at Baa3 (positive outlook).The ratings confirm LHV’s strong financial position and capitalisation and express the expectation of a strengthening of creditworthiness.

    Comment by Madis Toomsalu, the Chairman of the Management Board at LHV Group: 

    “We are pleased that LHV has continued on a strong growth trajectory. Over the past year, our loan portfolio has grown by 1 billion euros, reaching 5 billion euros by the end of the half-year. This reflects increased investment confidence among Estonian companies, as well as the expansion of our UK loan book, which has now surpassed the 500 million euros mark. We’ve also seen a rise in demand for home loans and an overall increase in client activity. Several initiatives are underway to support continued growth going forward.”
