NBX Buys BTC, Stock Erupts

NBX kicked off its treasury strategy with the purchase of 6 BTC, worth around $633,700, with plans to increase that to 10 BTC by month’s end. But the move wasn’t just symbolic, NBX outlined plans to use its Bitcoin to issue USDM, a stablecoin on Cardano, and unlock yield within the Cardano ecosystem. Investors loved the idea. NBX shares skyrocketed 138.5% in a single trading day, closing at €0.033 ($0.038), signaling strong confidence in BTC-backed innovation.
