According to @StockMKTNewz, shares of Fold Holdings (FLD) slumped more than 7% following the announcement of a delay in its Fold Bitcoin Credit Card rollout. The company cited a key infrastructure partner unexpectedly exiting the credit card business as the reason for the setback. Despite this operational challenge, which has seen the stock trade at $4.25 after an IPO around $10, Fold has secured a significant financial boost. The firm announced an equity purchase facility of up to $250 million, which it plans to use to expand its corporate Bitcoin (BTC) treasury. Fold already holds 1,490 BTC, signaling a strong long-term strategy of Bitcoin accumulation for traders to consider against the short-term stock volatility.

According to Crypto Rover, Fold Holdings has purchased an additional 10 Bitcoin at a total cost of $875,000. This purchase underscores a trend of institutional investors entering the cryptocurrency market, potentially driving up demand and prices.
