Nearing record highs, Bitcoin just hit $102,819 – a peak it hasn’t seen since early February. All thanks to bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts, institutional inflows and easing trade tensions between the U.S. and the U.K. Not only is that great news for cryptocurrencies, but also for companies that are diversifying with cryptocurrencies, such as Nuvve Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: NVVE), Block Inc. (NYSE: XYZ), Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) Upexi Inc. (NASDAQ: UPXI) and Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT) are benefiting.
Helping, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin could soar to $150,000 by the end of 2025. In fact, according to Hayes, as quoted by CoinCentral.com, “We’re entering a perfect storm for a Bitcoin rally. The macroeconomic environment is pushing the Fed towards more dovish policies, and that means more dollars entering the system. That’s fuel for Bitcoin.”
In addition, “It’s not just about Bitcoin anymore,” he added. “Once the money printer turns on, everything from ETH to SOL benefits.” Again, that’s a significant catalyst for cryptocurrencies, and companies diversifying with it.
Look at Nuvve (NASDAQ: NVVE), For Example
Nuvve Holding Corp., a global leader in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and grid modernization, today announced it has engaged multiple leading digital asset advisory consultants, to accelerate the growth of its newly formed subsidiary, Nuvve-DigitalAssets.
The consultants will advise Nuvve on the strategic development of its digital asset portfolio, providing expertise in token selection, decentralized infrastructure opportunities, risk management, and regulatory alignment. Their role will be central to building a sophisticated, high-growth digital treasury as part of Nuvve’s broader plan to create long-term shareholder value through blockchain innovation.
“This is a core strategic initiative requiring focus and expertise,” said Gregory Poilasne, CEO and co-founder of Nuvve. “The selection of these consultants ensures that Nuvve-DigitalAssets is built on insight, discipline, and conviction. This is how we win in the next era of finance.”
The engagement comes on the heels of Nuvve’s recent launch of Nuvve-DigitalAssets, a wholly owned subsidiary created to capitalize on opportunities across the cryptocurrency and blockchain economy. The subsidiary’s investment strategy will focus on the foundational assets of the next-generation financial system. While we acknowledge the importance of Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum, the subsidiary will target multiple picks-and-shovels tokens from high-growth sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized physical infrastructure (DePin), programming, and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).
To ensure strong oversight and execution, Nuvve is forming a Digital Asset Management Portfolio Committee to govern investment decisions. The committee will be chaired by James Altucher, a renowned crypto investor and early Bitcoin advocate; with the support of Tim Collins, veteran financial commentator, known for his deep insights into public markets and crypto asset dynamics, as well as Gregory Poilasne, Nuvve CEO.
“The companies that thrive in this new economy will be the ones who understand where finance is going and have the courage to move early,” said Altucher. “Nuvve is doing both with the right team and a clear strategy.”
“I’ve followed disruptive financial trends for decades,” added Collins. “The convergence of blockchain, decentralized markets, and traditional financial systems isn’t years away, it’s happening now. I look forward to guiding this strategy at a company with the courage to lead.”
Nuvve will maintain transparency with shareholders through regular updates on digital asset holdings and allocation strategy via the Nuvve-DigitalAssets platform. The company’s entry into the crypto economy is not just about diversification; it’s about long-term leadership at the intersection of clean energy and digital finance.

Riot Platforms, an industry leader in vertically integrated Bitcoin mining, just announced unaudited production and operations updates for April 2025. “Riot mined 463 bitcoin in April as the network experienced two successive difficulty adjustments during the month,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. “April was a significant month for Riot as we closed on the acquisition of all of the tangible assets of Rhodium at our Rockdale Facility, including 125 MW of power capacity, and mutually ended all outstanding litigation. This transaction ends the hosting agreement with our last hosting client and marks the complete exit of Riot from the bitcoin mining hosting business. During the month of April, we made the strategic decision to sell our monthly production of bitcoin to fund ongoing growth and operations. We continuously evaluate the best funding sources considering a multitude of factors and prioritizing a strong balance sheet. These sales reduce the need for equity fundraising, limiting the amount of dilution in our stock. We will continue to monitor market conditions on an ongoing basis and utilize all tools available to best sustainably finance our business, while remaining committed to our long-term bitcoin treasury strategy, reflecting our strong conviction in Bitcoin‘s future potential.”
