MFI: Emerging Digital Asset Strategy Includes Crypto

MFI (NASDAQ: MFI) is launching a digital asset strategy, investing in BCH and other cryptocurrencies. The company raised $500M in December 2025 to support its Bitcoin Cash (BCH) digital asset treasury (DAT) strategy. MFI plans to apply for a Bermuda Class IILT Insurance License to offer digital asset-denominated life insurance, focusing initially on Asia. The company believes BCH's low fees and undervaluation make it attractive for investment.
