The post New Hampshire Rejects Bitcoin Bond, Sending A Chill Through State Crypto Finance Experiments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. State government adoption of bitcoin just hit a brick wall in New England. New Hampshire’s executive council voted 3-2 to reject a bond structure that would have woven bitcoin into a public financing vehicle, killing the effort at the very last approval stage. The decision closes a chapter that many crypto advocates saw as a template for how states might begin accumulating digital assets on their balance sheets. The rejection, reported by the original report, leaves no room for parliamentary repair. The bond project had already progressed through earlier legislative and oversight steps, making the council’s essentially final vote a terminal setback. What was intended as a lean, pro-innovation funding mechanism now stands as an object lesson in how even crypto-friendly jurisdictions can balk when taxpayer-linked instruments are involved. What the bon

The post Bitcoin reclaims $64k – But Strategy’s $216mln underwater sale threatens momentum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin climbed above $64,200 in early trading on Friday, the 10th of July, strengthening its recovery even as Strategy sold Bitcoin at a loss. Holding above this level into next week could reinforce the recovery. However, the bigger question is who has been selling into the rally, and at what price. Strategy’s recent disposals weighed on sentiment. Even so, its average acquisition price remains well above that of retail investors on Binance. That gap shifts attention away from Strategy and toward retail holders, who now sit comfortably in profit and may choose to sell into strength. Did Strategy’s Bitcoin sales really matter? Strategy recently announced plans to sell part of its Bitcoin [BTC] holdings through its Digital Credit Capital Framework. The company said the proceeds would fund dividend payments and share repurchases. On the 6th of July, Strategy sol
The post Empery Digital sells 1,400 BTC for $65M to fund AI pivot appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Empery Digital (NASDAQ: EMPD) sold 1,400 Bitcoins from the stash it built throughout 2025 at an average of $62,200 a coin, raising about $87.1 million to invest in AI data centers and pay down debt. The Nasdaq-listed company started the sale in May and is now left holding 1,514 BTC. Why did Empery Digital sell its Bitcoin? Barely one year ago, Empery Digital rebranded from Volcon Inc. and changed its whole business plan from electric vehicles to focusing on holding Bitcoin. Now, it is walking away from that strategy to chase the booming demand for AI computing power. Why? The simple answer is that its Bitcoin investment lost a lot of value. Cryptopolitan previously reported that Empery bought most of its Bitcoin when prices were around $117,000 per coin. However, when prices fell below $70,000 earlier this year, those holdings dropped more than 40% in value. The company revealed in an
State representative Keith Ammon said the New Hampshire executive council's vote against Bitcoin-backed bonds was “short-sighted,” urging the body to reconsider the measure.
