    – Sustainable Mining Practices: Operates with 100% renewable energy sources, adhering to global environmental and social governance (ESG) standards.
    – Transparent Earnings System: Daily earnings tracking with instant withdrawal or reinvestment options, enhancing user control and transparency.

    Real User Experience: Empowering Investors

    Jennifer Adams, an XRP holder living in Los Angeles, shared her success story: “Before using RI Mining, I was intimidated by the complexity and cost of traditional cryptocurrency mining.

  • MIL-OSI: Crowd Street Recognized by CNBC as One of the World’s Top Fintech Companies for Second Year in a Row

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Crowd Street, the private market investment platform helping members achieve their financial goals by providing access to investment opportunities, today announced that it has been named to CNBC’s World’s Top 250 Fintech Companies 2025 in the Alternative Financing category. CNBC defines Alternative Financing as companies that offer businesses and consumers a way to borrow or raise money online.

    For the second consecutive year, CNBC is recognizing Crowd Street for empowering the next generation of private market investors who prefer to invest independently. Private market investing has historically been reserved for institutions and elite wealth managers who primarily serve extremely high net-worth individuals. Crowd Street is providing these same opportunities directly to the millions of accredited investors, many of whom prefer to use a self-directed platform to manage their investments.

    “We are incredibly honored to receive this award – it’s a powerful recognition of the passion and dedication our entire team puts in every day,” said John Imbriglia, CEO of Crowd Street. “This achievement reflects not only our commitment to transforming access to the private markets, but also the tangible impact we can make for the millions of accredited investors who prefer to invest independently by providing them the access, education, and tools to responsibly access the private markets.”

    The recognition from CNBC comes at an exciting inflection point for private markets. Only about three percent of individual investors’ assets are allocated to private market opportunities today, but industry research projects that will rapidly expand, and become a trillion dollar market opportunity by 2028.1 Crowd Street is uniquely positioned to lead the category. As of July 2025, with more than $4.4B invested through its platform solely in commercial real estate, Crowd Street is poised to scale by working with some of the top asset management firms to introduce new fund options across additional asset classes, including private equity, private credit and venture capital later this year.

    CNBC and Statista conducted in-depth research on more than 2,000 eligible companies, considering annual reports, company websites, media monitoring, and notable KPIs to determine the top 250 firms across seven categories. Crowd Street’s notable recognition follows several exciting moments from the company in 2025, including the launch of its new brand, new platform updates, inaugural Member Council, new headquarters in New York City, executives named to Top 50 Women in Fintech and more.

    About Crowd Street
    Crowd Street empowers its members to reach their financial goals through self-directed private market investments. The platform offers a carefully selected marketplace of alternative investment opportunities that have historically only been available to a small group of people. In addition to providing advanced tools, research, and insights to help investors confidently explore these exclusive opportunities, Crowd Street is also building a member experience rooted in trust and experience, further bridging the gap between investment opportunities and true financial wealth.

    Each microlearning course is designed to fit seamlessly into busy schedules – whether during a commute, between meetings or while grabbing a coffee – making it easier to build and reinforce essential soft skills without pulling employees away from their priorities.

    Traliant’s Soft Skills Microlearning covers ten foundational topics:

    • Writing Effectively
    • Communicating with Confidence
    • Active Listening with Empathy
    • Handling Difficult Conversations
    • Giving Constructive Feedback
    • Decision-Making
    • Project Management
    • Emotional Intelligence
    • Teamwork for Remote Work

    Kent Steinwert, Farmers & Merchants Bancorp’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are very pleased with the Company’s financial performance in the second quarter of 2025, highlighted by record second quarter net income of $23.1 million, a return on average assets of 1.65%, and a return on average equity of 15.09%. Net income for the first six-months of 2025 of $46.1 million is the best performing six-month period in the history of the Company. We achieved these impressive results while continuing to maintain a strong liquidity position and balance sheet at quarter end with $291.8 million in cash, $1.3 billion in investment securities, of which $573.0 million are available-for-sale, no borrowings and access to $2.1 billion in borrowing capacity, while maintaining a conservative loan-to-deposit ratio of 76.38%. Capital levels continue to strengthen and are significantly above the regulatory thresholds for “well-capitalized” banks. Total deposits increased $61.2 million, or 1.3% to $4.8 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, as we continued our focus on growing deposits with our longstanding client relationships and developing new client relationships. Gross loans and leases were $3.6 billion at the end of the second quarter, up $40.3 million or 1.1% from March 31, 2025 and down $54.4 million or 1.5% from December 31, 2024. The increase in the second quarter was due to increased loan demand while the decrease in the first quarter was partially due to some seasonality in agricultural lending as well as our continued conservative approach in underwriting given the yield curve, which continues to not price in duration risk for loans and leases beyond three years. Credit quality remains solid as we continue to work closely with our borrowers while they work through the current economic cycle, particularly in a few agricultural products adversely impacted by negative conditions in the export market. Our Company remains in excellent financial condition, continues to perform at a high-level and is well positioned to navigate the challenges ahead as we have for the past 109 years.”

    Mr. Steinwert continued, “I am pleased to announce that Bank Director Magazine just released their annual ranking of the top performing banks for 2024 and Farmers & Merchants Bancorp was ranked the #3 bank in the nation across all asset categories. This follows our #2 ranking for 2023 and #1 ranking for 2022. Bank Director’s recognition of our performance over the last three years validates the success of our strategy and commitment to our clients, employees, shareholders and communities.”

    Earnings

    Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $53.9 million compared with $50.8 million in the same quarter in 2024 and $53.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net interest income for the six-months ended June 30, 2025 was $107.0 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 4.4%, when compared with the $102.5 million for the same period in 2024. The Company’s net interest margin increased to 4.13% for the six-months ended June 30, 2025 compared with 4.02% for the same period in 2024.  The increase in the net interest margin was driven primarily by a decrease in deposit costs. Tangible book value per share increased to $835.33 at June 30, 2025, up 9.7% compared with $761.62 a year ago.

    Balance Sheet

    Total assets at quarter-end were $5.5 billion, up from $5.4 billion as of December 31, 2024. Total cash and cash equivalents were $291.8 million, an increase of $79.2 million from December 31, 2024 and a decrease of $315.5 million compared to March 31, 2025, primarily due to the repayment of brokered deposits. Total loans and leases outstanding were $3.6 billion, a decrease of $54.4 million or 1.5% from December 31, 2024, but an increase of $40.3 million or 1.1% from March 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, our total investment securities portfolio was $1.3 billion, an increase of $88.0 million from December 31, 2024 and an increase of $66.6 million from March 31, 2025. The portfolio is comprised of $573.0 million in available-for-sale securities and $748.9 million in held-to-maturity securities. Total deposits decreased $217.6 million to $4.76 billion compared to March 31, 2025, due to the repayment of all brokered deposits of $250.0 million during the quarter. Excluding the brokered deposits, total deposits increased $32.4 million, or 0.7% in the second quarter from March 31, 2025, and increased $61.2 million or 1.3% from December 31, 2024. Our loan to deposit ratio was 76.38% as of June 30, 2025, down from 78.53% as of December 31, 2024, due to an increase in total deposits and a modest decrease in total loans and leases.

    Credit Quality

    The Company’s credit quality remained solid with no non-accrual loans and leases as of June 30, 2025 and a negligible delinquency ratio of 0.03% of total loans and leases. Net charge-offs were 0.02% of average loans and leases for both the second quarter of 2025 and for the first half of 2025 compared to minor net recoveries for the comparative periods in 2024. Net charge-offs over the trailing twelve months were 0.04% of average total loans and leases. The total allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as well as unfunded commitments was $79.0 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to $78.1 million as of March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases increased by $0.8 million to $76.2 million, or 2.09% as of June 30, 2025 compared with $75.4, million or 2.10% as of March 31, 2025. A provision of $1.4 million was recorded during the second quarter of 2025 compared to no provision during the second quarter of 2024. The provision totaled $1.7 million for the first six-months of 2025 compared to no provision in the first six-months of 2024.

    Capital

    The Company’s and Bank’s regulatory capital ratios continued to strengthen during the second quarter of 2025. The growth in capital was driven by net income of $23.1 million offset by stock repurchases of $5.3 million and dividends paid of $6.8 million. The Company repurchased 4,546 shares during the quarter, reducing total outstanding shares to 725,367. As of June 30, 2025, there remains $14.7 million authorized for repurchases under the board-approved repurchase plan. At June 30, 2025, the Company’s preliminary total risk-based capital ratio was 15.35% and the common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 13.87%, an increase from 15.23% and 13.75% as of March 31, 2025, respectively. At June 30, 2025, the Company’s tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 11.18%, a decrease from 11.32% as of March 31, 2025, as a result of higher average assets. At June 30, 2025, all F&M Bank capital ratios exceeded the regulatory requirements to be classified as “well-capitalized.” At June 30, 2025, the tangible common equity ratio was 11.08%, up from 10.72% as of June 30, 2024.

  • MIL-OSI: Ataccama brings AI to data lineage to help business users understand and trust their data

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOSTON, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ataccama, the data trust company, today announced the release of Ataccama ONE v16.2, the latest version of its unified data trust platform. This release makes it easier for business users to understand how data moves and changes across systems without writing a single line of SQL. With intuitive, compact lineage views and improved performance, teams can make better decisions with greater confidence and speed.

    Most business teams can’t see where their data comes from or how it has been changed. Instead, they rely on technical experts to explain the logic behind key metrics, which slows decision-making and exposes organizations to unnecessary risk. Forrester reports that only 20% of business decision-makers are self-sufficient with analytics tools. The result is a persistent trust gap that makes it harder to govern data, scale analytics, or move at the speed business demands. 

    Ataccama closes that gap by turning complex data logic into plain language. Business users can now trace a data point’s origin and understand how it was profiled or flagged without relying on IT. Ataccama shows how data flows through systems and provides plain-language descriptions of the steps behind every number. For example, in a financial services setting, a data steward can immediately see how a risk score was derived or how a flagged transaction passed through a series of enrichment and quality checks. That kind of visibility shortens reviews, streamlines audits, and gives business teams the confidence to act on the data in front of them.

    “We’re seeing enterprise data projects increasingly kick off in the business, not just in IT, and that changes everything,” said Jessica Smith, VP of Data Quality at Ataccama. “The teams driving these initiatives need to understand where the data comes from, how it’s changed, and whether it can be trusted. That’s why we’ve focused on making complex data processes, like profiling, quality checks, and lineage, clear and usable to everyone. Because if data is going to scale across the business, it has to work for the people who are using it.”

    Ataccama strengthens day-to-day governance and lays the groundwork for more scalable, compliant AI initiatives. Key features include:

    • AI-powered data lineage. Automatically generates readable descriptions of how data was transformed both upstream and downstream, clarifying filters, joins, and calculations, so business users can understand the logic behind each dataset without reading SQL.
    • Compact lineage diagrams. Presents a simplified, high-level view of data flows with the option to drill into details on demand. This makes it easier to identify issues, answer audit questions, and align stakeholders on how data flows through the organization.
    • Edge processing for secure lineage. Enables metadata extraction from on-prem or restricted environments without moving sensitive data to the cloud. Organizations can maintain compliance, minimize risk, and still get full visibility into their data pipelines, regardless of where the data lives.
    • Expanded pushdown support and performance enhancements. Users can now execute profiling and data quality workloads in pushdown mode for BigQuery and Azure Synapse, minimizing data movement and improving performance for large-scale workloads. The release also includes volume support for Databricks Unity Catalog, further optimizing execution within modern cloud platforms. 

    Ataccama ONE v16.2 data trust platform is available immediately. To learn how to simplify data lineage and drive clarity for both business and IT, watch the webinar

    DALLAS, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allied Energy Corporation (OTC: AGYP), a Texas-based independent energy producer focused on hydrocarbon production and well-site optimization, is proud to announce the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Green Rain Energy Holdings Inc. (OTC: GREH), a clean energy infrastructure developer, to supply natural gas for EV charging station deployment across Texas and other high-growth U.S. markets.

    The agreement marks a bold step in bridging traditional energy with the future of electrified transportation, allowing Allied Energy Corporation to monetize a broad spectrum of energy resources to help power the next generation of high-speed charging networks.

    “This is where energy/oil field innovation meets clean energy execution,” said George Monteith, President of Allied Energy Corporation. “We’re taking energy resources that are often wasted, stranded, or underutilized and turning them into revenue-producing power for EV infrastructure. That’s a win for Texas, a win for decarbonization, and a win for investors.”

    Texas: The Epicenter of the Energy Transition

    Texas leads the U.S. in both oil & gas production and energy transition investment. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Texas is eligible for over $400 million in NEVI funding to expand electric vehicle infrastructure across interstate corridors and underserved areas.

    With more than 1 million EVs projected to hit Texas roads by 2030, and the state facing ongoing grid constraints, there is a growing need for off-grid, localized power generation to support fast-charging infrastructure. This MOU positions Allied Energy Corporation to become a key energy supplier for those systems.

    MOU Highlights: Natural Gas to Power EV Corridors

    Under the agreement, Green Rain Energy Holdings will identify priority charging station corridors, and Allied Energy Corporation will:

    • Conduct gas composition testing, where required (BTU, methane content, impurities)
    • Negotiate surface rights & Energy leases for micro-generation integration
    • Provide quarterly reports on Energy quality and Energy output from all sources.

    The Energy resources will fuel small-scale turbine or generator units that power Level 3 DC fast chargers—bypassing lengthy grid interconnect timelines and enabling rapid deployment in key areas, such as West Texas, the I-35 corridor, and along I-10.

    Economic & Environmental Upside

    This model allows Allied Energy Corporation to:

    • Generate new recurring revenue from all energy sources
    • Participate in the rapidly growing $120B+ EV charging market (Fortune Business Insights, 2024)
    • Provide a cleaner alternative to diesel-based mobile charging units
    • Support Texas’s dual mandate of energy independence and carbon reduction

    “We’re transforming how to use energy resources to create value,” Monteith added. “And we’re doing it in a way that aligns with infrastructure funding, clean air goals, and decentralized energy strategies.”

    The MOU is effective for 120 days and is expected to result in a definitive Energy Purchase and Sales Agreement (EPSA) upon commencement of site development.

    About AGYP:

    Allied Energy Corp. is an energy development and production company acquiring oil & gas reserves in some of the most prolific hydrocarbon bearing regions of the United States. The Company specializes in the business of reworking & re-completing ‘existing’ oil & gas wells located in the thousands of mature oil & gas producing fields across the United States. The Company applies its knowledge, experience, and effective well-remediation technologies to achieve higher production volumes, longer well life, and more efficient recovery of the proven and available oil and gas reserves in the fields/projects in which it has acquired an ownership interest. The Company will utilize updated technologies such as hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”), drilling of lateral (“horizontal”) legs in productive zones, and utilizing new cased hole electric logging to locate bypassed pays, all to enhance daily rates and oil & gas recoveries. By acquiring interests in a growing number of selected projects in various regions, Allied Energy Corp. is diversifying its exposure and effectively minimizing risk as it pursues corporate growth, top line & bottom-line revenues to the benefit of all stakeholders. There are proven, recoverable reserves contained in the many aging oil & gas fields that have been bypassed by companies moving away from these fields in search of deeper, more plentiful, but more costly reserves. The Company plans to concentrate on bypassed oil and gas as there is less competition and, as mentioned above, the costs are considerably less. Additionally, the company will acquire interests in marginal wells that can be acquired at minimal cost, of which there are 420,000 wells in the U.S. Quoting Barry Russell, President of the Independent Petroleum Association of America (“IPAA”) – “With approximately 20 percent of American oil production and 10 percent of American natural gas production coming from marginal wells, they are America’s true strategic petroleum reserve.”

    Why This Presale Is Getting So Much Attention

    The Bitcoin Solaris presale is more than just successful. It is setting a new bar for how quickly genuine investor interest can drive adoption. With less than two weeks left before the July 31 launch, BTC-S has already raised over $6.6 million and continues to gain momentum.

    • Current price is $12
    • Next phase moves to $13
    • A 4% bonus remains active
    • Launch price is set at $20 with a potential 150 percent return

    This rapid adoption is making this one of the shortest presales in crypto history, a testament to how quickly investors are recognizing its potential.

    Wallets like Trust Wallet and Metamask are recommended for seamless token delivery on launch day. Bitcoin Solaris makes it clear these wallets are for receiving tokens, not for buying in.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Swift Launches Stage 1 of ICO With Live Programmable Mining and Real-Time Payouts

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LUXEMBOURG, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Swift (BTC3), a next-generation blockchain protocol, has officially launched Stage 1 of its Initial Coin Offering (ICO), introducing a novel approach to early-stage participation with programmable mining rewards that activate immediately.

    Unlike traditional ICOs that require investors to wait for mainnet or roadmap deliverables, Bitcoin Swift’s Proof-of-Yield system is already live. Early contributors who purchase BTC3 during Stage 1 receive programmable mining contracts that begin distributing rewards from day one, a move designed to reshape how value is delivered in token presales.

    A Short Presale With Immediate Impact

    Bitcoin Swift’s presale is structured into ten fast-paced stages, each lasting fewer than ten days. Stage 1 is currently live at $1 per token, offering the highest programmable mining output before the next stage doubles the token price to $2. The platform has allocated 50% of its total token supply toward programmable mining, with early participants gaining access to the most lucrative reward cycles.

    “Programmable mining begins the moment a buyer enters Stage 1,” said a spokesperson for Bitcoin Swift. “We’re not just rewarding early access—we’re activating a system where rewards are governed transparently by smart contracts and delivered automatically.”

    Hybrid Consensus With AI-Driven Efficiency

    Bitcoin Swift operates on a hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus model. Miners create blocks, while validators finalize checkpoints every 100 blocks. A layer of AI oracles monitors energy metrics and adjusts mining rewards in real time to prioritize sustainable, low-carbon usage.

    Key features include:

    • Hybrid PoW/PoS architecture for block creation and finalization
    • AI agents and oracles that adjust mining parameters dynamically
    • WASM-based smart contracts that evolve with market conditions
    • zk-SNARK privacy layers and decentralized identity support
    • Verified by Spywolf and Solidproof, including KYC and audit certification

    Governance and Privacy at the Core

    BTC3 is more than a mining protocol—it incorporates governance mechanisms powered by AI, where votes are scored for risk and participation is linked to both token holdings and verified identity. Meanwhile, zk-ledger technology ensures that transactions are shielded and private, while maintaining institutional-grade compliance for transparency.

    Tokenomics and Distribution

    Bitcoin Swift’s fixed supply of 45 million BTC3 is designed to support long-term value through a transparent allocation model:

    • 22.5 million tokens allocated to Proof-of-Yield mining over 30 years
    • 30% designated for presale participants
    • 15% reserved for liquidity provisioning
    • 5% for team and strategic reserves

    All rewards are executed through smart contracts and are based on activity levels, clean energy metrics, and decentralized ID verification.

    About Bitcoin Swift

    Bitcoin Swift is a programmable Layer 1 blockchain designed to deliver real-time mining, AI-enhanced consensus, and privacy-first decentralized finance. By combining Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake with AI agents and programmable rewards, Bitcoin Swift enables a secure, efficient, and transparent blockchain ecosystem from the first day of its ICO.

    With only 63 days left in the presale, the project invites early participants to engage in an active ecosystem where programmable mining and real-time payouts are already live.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP players must read: 2025 latest Cloud Mining plan, $6000 daily withdrawal manual

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the world’s understanding of blockchain technology continues to deepen, the XRP ecosystem is recovering strongly. On-chain data shows that in the past 5 days, the number of active addresses in the XRP ledger has exceeded 100,000, and the average daily number of transactions has exceeded 3 million, setting a new high since 2024. At the same time, Ripple continues to promote cross-border payment cooperation in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other places, and promotes XRP to become an important settlement medium for the circulation of real-world assets (RWA). As the price of XRP continues to fluctuate upward, more and more holders are looking for a way to obtain sustainable passive income without relying on secondary market fluctuations-cloud mining has entered the public eye. Among all cloud mining platforms that support XRP payments, ETHRANSACTION stands out with its stable income, green energy drive, compliance qualifications and flexible contract structure, and has become the first choice trusted by many investors.

    XRP chain rebounds, holders turn from “waiting for prices to rise” to “value appreciation”

    For a long time, XRP users have mainly made profits by hoarding coins and waiting for prices to rise. However, in the current market environment with high-frequency fluctuations and frequent policy intervention, this approach is becoming increasingly risky. In contrast, using XRP to purchase mining contracts through cloud mining can not only avoid the depreciation of currency-based assets, but also obtain additional income every day, which is a more stable strategy.

    ETHRANSACTION opened the XRP recharge channel as early as 2021, and continued to optimize the computing power support capabilities for the XRP chain. At present, users only need to transfer XRP to the platform and select the corresponding contract to immediately start cloud mining services for mainstream currencies such as DOGE and BTC. There is no threshold throughout the process, no equipment and maintenance required, and it is suitable for every digital asset holder.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP players must read: 2025 latest Cloud Mining plan, $6000 daily withdrawal manual

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the world’s understanding of blockchain technology continues to deepen, the XRP ecosystem is recovering strongly. On-chain data shows that in the past 5 days, the number of active addresses in the XRP ledger has exceeded 100,000, and the average daily number of transactions has exceeded 3 million, setting a new high since 2024. At the same time, Ripple continues to promote cross-border payment cooperation in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other places, and promotes XRP to become an important settlement medium for the circulation of real-world assets (RWA). As the price of XRP continues to fluctuate upward, more and more holders are looking for a way to obtain sustainable passive income without relying on secondary market fluctuations-cloud mining has entered the public eye. Among all cloud mining platforms that support XRP payments, ETHRANSACTION stands out with its stable income, green energy drive, compliance qualifications and flexible contract structure, and has become the first choice trusted by many investors.

    XRP chain rebounds, holders turn from “waiting for prices to rise” to “value appreciation”

    For a long time, XRP users have mainly made profits by hoarding coins and waiting for prices to rise. However, in the current market environment with high-frequency fluctuations and frequent policy intervention, this approach is becoming increasingly risky. In contrast, using XRP to purchase mining contracts through cloud mining can not only avoid the depreciation of currency-based assets, but also obtain additional income every day, which is a more stable strategy.

    ETHRANSACTION opened the XRP recharge channel as early as 2021, and continued to optimize the computing power support capabilities for the XRP chain. At present, users only need to transfer XRP to the platform and select the corresponding contract to immediately start cloud mining services for mainstream currencies such as DOGE and BTC. There is no threshold throughout the process, no equipment and maintenance required, and it is suitable for every digital asset holder.

  • MIL-OSI: Ja Mining Secures $17M to Expand Global Green Mining Infrastructure

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, UK, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ja Mining, a long-standing player in the blockchain infrastructure space, has announced the successful closure of a $17 million Series A funding round. The funding, contributed by multiple institutional investors with experience in blockchain and sustainable energy, will be used to expand Ja Mining’s renewable-powered cloud mining operations across North America, Europe, and Asia.

    The raise comes at a critical time for the crypto infrastructure sector, as institutional and retail participation continues to grow amidst rising demand for energy-efficient, secure, and automated solutions. This latest investment round underscores investor confidence in Ja Mining’s long-term strategy to deliver accessible, AI-powered mining capabilities with reduced environmental impact.

    According to a recent Yahoo Finance article, industry leaders are increasingly aligning with renewable energy providers to power large-scale mining operations, signaling a broader shift toward sustainable practices. Ja Mining’s new funding directly supports this trend by enabling the expansion of its green energy data centers powered by hydropower and wind energy.

    “Sustainable mining is no longer an ideal—it’s a requirement,” said JA Mining spokesperson at Ja Mining. “This Series A financing enables us to scale infrastructure that aligns with both global energy goals and the demand for secure, intelligent blockchain access.”

    AI Integration for Smarter Mining Operations

    A portion of the capital will be allocated to the development and integration of artificial intelligence tools to optimize Ja Mining’s internal systems. These enhancements are expected to dynamically manage computing resources, forecast optimal block validation times, and reduce energy usage across distributed mining centers.

    The AI-driven improvements are also projected to increase platform efficiency and enhance user yields by up to 20%, offering more predictable returns within a volatile asset class. These capabilities are particularly relevant in today’s market, where cloud mining has evolved from a speculative trend to a strategic asset infrastructure for passive income generation.

    Expansion of Renewable Energy Infrastructure

    The remainder of the funds will be directed toward upgrading and launching new data centers in strategic global locations, including Canada, Northern Europe, and Southeast Asia. All new facilities will operate on renewable sources and feature automated systems to monitor, manage, and secure operations in real time.

    These infrastructure investments mirror industry momentum. In 2025 alone, cloud mining adoption has risen by over 28%, and more than 60% of new mining facilities worldwide have committed to some form of renewable energy usage, according to sector-wide data.

    “This funding validates our commitment to providing both environmental responsibility and operational integrity,” added a spokesperson. “We’re not just expanding capacity—we’re building next-generation infrastructure for the decentralised economy.”

    From Legacy to Next-Gen

    Ja Mining’s roots stretch back to 2004 in broader financial infrastructure development, with a transition into blockchain operations beginning in 2009. The company has since evolved into a global cloud mining provider with a focus on transparency, energy efficiency, and hands-free participation.

    The upgraded platform aims to welcome a new wave of users, especially those seeking alternatives to traditional crypto investments. By removing the need for hardware procurement, maintenance, and technical know-how, Ja Mining provides a simplified path to blockchain income generation while remaining compliant with data protection and environmental standards.

    About Ja Mining

    Ja Mining is a global cloud mining platform committed to delivering secure, efficient, and eco-conscious blockchain access through renewable-powered infrastructure. Combining automation, AI integration, and sustainability, Ja Mining enables global users to participate in the digital asset ecosystem without the complexity of traditional mining models.

  • MIL-OSI: Champion Safe Company Accelerates Market Growth with Strategic Dealer Expansion in Colorado

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New Leadership at Champion Safe, a Division of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB), Crystallizes Strategic Vision for Market Share Growth Across Patriotic-Branded Divisions

    PROVO, UT, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Champion Safe Company (www.championsafe.com), a leading manufacturer of high-security safes and proud subsidiary of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB), America’s Patriotic Brand, proudly announces its newest dealer partnership with Seaworth Safe Sales, a trusted and respected retailer serving Colorado’s Front Range for decades.

    The move marks a powerful expansion into the Rocky Mountain market, one of the fastest-growing regions for premium safe demand driven by outdoor lifestyles, responsible firearm ownership, and regulated cannabis storage. Seaworth brings deep regional expertise and customer trust, making them an ideal partner for Champion’s next growth chapter.

    “The Seaworth partnership is a strong validation of our brand momentum,” said Tom Mihalek, CEO of Champion Safe Company. “A six-figure, two-truckload opening order isn’t just a purchase—it’s a commitment to what Champion now stands for: precision, performance, and market readiness. The Seaworth deal isn’t just another dealer activation—it’s a strategic signal that leading dealers like Seaworth believe in what we’re building. And we’re ready to continue to earn that trust every day.”

    Since Mihalek took the reins in early 2024, Champion has focused intensely on product optimization and SKU rationalization, dialing in the safes customers actually want and cutting the noise. Supported by improved internal analytics, enhanced dealer feedback loops, and refined regional data, Champion is now delivering smarter product mixes tailored to each market segment, customer profile and consumer demand—streamlining inventory and improving sell-through rates.

    Seaworth is the latest to tap into that momentum, joining a growing roster of respected dealers embracing Champion’s reengineered path forward.

    A little over one year into Tom Mihalek’s leadership the disciplined approach is paying off: new dealer activations are rising, existing dealers are increasing their orders, and Champion is regaining ground as a leader in American-made secure storage.

    Champion still focuses on quality but American made craftsmanship as All Champion safe models are made from 100% American-made, high-strength steel and equally as important We build all of our own safes. No China-Build imports Lifetime warranty on everything we build.

    “We’re proud to have Seaworth Safe Sales on board,” said Jon Minder, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Champion Safe. “Their decision to partner with us reinforces the value of our recent product enhancements, dealer-first approach, and unwavering commitment to American craftsmanship—qualities today’s customers truly demand.”

    Champion Safe Company is well-positioned to grab market share and drive revenue growth, supported by better tools, better information, and better products. As American Rebel Holdings continues its expansion across safes, apparel, and beverages, the mission remains the same: help Americans protect what they value most—with gear they can trust.
