Z Squared Merges with Coeptis to Become DOGE Mining Company

TheCryptoTimesPubblicato 2025-04-25Pubblicato ultima volta 2025-04-25

Z Squared, a dogecoin (DOGE) mining company, is merging with biopharmaceutical firm Coeptis (COEP).

This merger will enable Z Squared to keep dogecoin mining and divest Coeptis’ pharmaceutical business. The new company will be essentially a cryptocurrency mining operation with dogecoin and litecoin (LTC) as its main assets.

According to the press release, the merger will form a big publicly traded company that specializes in the mining of these cryptocurrencies.

Z Squared’s CEO, David Halabu, explained that going public would allow the company to obtain additional money from wider markets. 

He stated, “Going public gives us greater access to capital markets to drive the expansion of our mining operations and pursue other strategic opportunities we believe will be accretive to shareholders.”

The merger will be finished in the third quarter of 2025. The company will use 9,000 DOGE mining machines in the U.S. following the merger. However, the company has not disclosed exact details about its revenue.

Dogecoin, originally created in 2013 as a fork of Bitcoin. It is based on a Proof-of-Work system. That is, miners attempt to solve difficult problems to add new blocks to the blockchain and receive coins as compensation for their efforts.

Today, DOGE is worth $27 billion, ranking as the eighth largest cryptocurrency, according to CoinMarketCap. The growing popularity of dogecoin, partly at least because of the support it received from Elon Musk in 2021, has led most businesses to invest in DOGE mining.

The mining industry has seen heightened competition, especially in Bitcoin. For this reason, many mining companies are looking for other ways to earn revenue. For instance, the Bitcoin mining company BIT Mining (BTCM) stated that it earned three times more revenue from mining DOGE and LTC than that of Bitcoin itself.

Strategy survives first Nasdaq 100 shakeup since entering the index

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, retained its position in the Nasdaq 100 index during the latest annual rebalancing, despite a 3.74% drop in its stock on the day. The company, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, recently purchased an additional 10,624 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 660,624 BTC worth nearly $60 billion. However, its stock has declined over 15% in the past month. MSCI is reviewing whether to classify companies with substantial crypto holdings as investment vehicles rather than operating firms. If MSCI enforces a rule excluding firms with over 50% of assets in crypto, Strategy could be affected as early as January, potentially forcing passive funds to sell up to $2.8 billion in shares. Strategy's leadership argues it is an operating company, not a passive Bitcoin holder. To address market concerns, Strategy raised $1.44 billion to meet dividend and debt obligations. CEO Michael Saylor continues promoting Bitcoin as "digital gold" and is engaging institutional investors to bring more capital into the space.

The Silver Crisis: When the Paper System Begins to Fail

Silver Crisis: When the Paper System Begins to Fail In December, silver became the standout performer in the precious metals market, surging from $40 to over $60 per ounce, hitting a historic high of $64.28 on December 12 before experiencing sharp declines. Year-to-date, silver rose nearly 110%, far outpacing gold’s 60% gain. The rally appears justified by fundamental factors: expectations of Fed rate cuts, strong industrial demand from solar, EV, and AI sectors, and declining global inventories. However, the surge lacks stability. Unlike gold, which is backed by central bank purchases, silver has almost no official reserves, making it an isolated asset with low market depth and high volatility. The real driver behind the price spike is a futures squeeze. The market structure shifted into prolonged futures premium (contango), indicating either extreme bullish sentiment or deliberate market manipulation. Physical delivery demands surged on exchanges like COMEX and LBMA, exposing the fragility of the paper silver system—where paper claims vastly exceed actual physical silver. JPMorgan, a key player historically accused of silver market manipulation, now controls nearly 43% of COMEX silver inventories and acts as the custodian for major silver ETFs. Its influence over physical supply and delivery eligibility adds to market instability. The situation reflects a broader loss of confidence in financialized assets. Investors and central banks are increasingly shifting toward physical holdings, moving away from paper claims. This trend, coupled with declining Western gold and silver inventories and rising Asian demand, signals a structural shift in monetary and commodity markets. In essence, the rules of the game are changing. When the music stops, those holding physical metal will have a chair—everyone else may be left standing.

Spot volumes drop 66% in ‘lulls’ that often precede next cycle leg: Bitfinex

Bitfinex reports a 66% decline in crypto spot trading volumes this quarter, dropping from over $500 billion in early November to around $250 billion. The exchange notes this mirrors historical market lulls that often precede the next cycle upswing. Analysts observe Bitcoin's tightening price structure near key levels of $89,000–$92,000, suggesting a breakout toward $100,000 is possible if resistance is broken. Despite a recent Fed rate cut and a large institutional purchase, momentum faded as the move was already priced in, leaving markets subdued amid softer ETF inflows and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Crypto Unrealized Losses Hit $350 Billion, With $85 Billion From Bitcoin Alone

On-chain data reveals the cryptocurrency market's total unrealized losses have surged to $350 billion, with Bitcoin alone accounting for $85 billion of that amount. This spike follows recent bearish price action, with the metric measuring the extent of underwater holdings across the market. Analysts from Glassnode suggest these significant losses, alongside shrinking liquidity indicators, signal the market is entering a high-volatility period. In a contrasting trend, Bitcoin and Ethereum showed divergent exchange flows: Bitcoin saw net withdrawals of $1.34 billion from exchanges, while Ethereum experienced net deposits of $1.03 billion, which can be a bearish signal. Bitcoin's price has retreated to around $90,000 after failing to hold above $92,000.

$300M wiped out – Could BOJ rate hike fears spark a crypto crash?

Investors are closely watching the upcoming Bank of Japan (BOJ) meeting amid fears of a potential rate hike, which has rattled global markets. The crypto market cap dropped 2.4%, with Bitcoin falling below $90k, and nearly $300 million in leveraged positions were liquidated—87% from long trades. The sell-off also impacted U.S. equities, with the S&P500 down 7%. The BOJ rate hike could increase borrowing costs, reducing the flow of cheap yen used to fund global investments, including crypto. With fading FOMO, weakening key support levels, and growing long liquidity clusters, the market faces increased risk of a sharp downturn similar to October's crash.
