ReserveOne, backed by crypto heavyweights, set to raise over US$1 billion in Nasdaq listing

The Nasdaq MarketSite in New York's Times Square, on May 16, 2012. (AP / Richard Drew) ReserveOne, a new cryptocurrency holding company with ties to industry veterans and a former U.S. commerce secretary, said on Tuesday it will list on the Nasdaq through a blank-check deal that is expected to raise more than US$1 billion. The company will manage a portfolio of cryptocurrencies including bitcoin, ethereum and Solana. Shares of M3-Brigade Acquisition V Corp, the blank-check firm, fell nearly 4 per cent before the open. The deal is the latest in a series of efforts to wrap crypto assets into equity and make them more appealing for traditional investors. The exponential stock price growth of Michael Saylor's Strategy, which pivoted to a bitcoin-focused business model in 2020, has also popularized the playbook. While ReserveOne is joining a crowded space, its leadership team includes some high-profile figures. The company will be led by CEO Jaime Leverton, the former chief of crypto miner and computing provider Hut 8. Sebastian Bea, a former executive at asset managers BlackRock and Coinbase Asset Management, will be its president and head of investment. The company's board will be chaired by stablecoin giant Tether's co-founder Reeve Collins, and will include Wilbur Ross, the Secretary of Commerce in the first Trump administration. Crypto firm and crypto exchange Kraken are among the investors, contributing up to US$750 million to the deal, through a combination of equity and convertible debt offering. Blank-check firms, or special purpose acquisition companies, are shell entities that raise capital through an IPO with the sole purpose of merging with a private company, which then becomes publicly traded. --- Reporting by Niket Nishant in Bengaluru; Editing by Sahal Muhammed

Brad Pitt gets candid about recovery: ‘I needed rebooting'

(Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) NEW YORK — Brad Pitt is opening up about his experience in recovery. During an appearance on 'Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard,' the actor talked about getting to know Shepard, who is also in recovery, through an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting they both attended. 'I was pretty much on my back, on my knees. I was really open. I was trying anything anyone threw at me,' Pitt said about first attending AA. 'It was a particular difficult time. I needed rebooting. I needed to wake the f**k up in some areas.' 'You don't come into AA because everything's working out fantastic,' Shepard said. 'No,' Pitt replied. 'That's usually not the entry point.' 'It's not the winner's club,' Shepard added. 'Your hair has gotta be on fire before you go like, 'Yeah, I'll go hang with a bunch of dudes and talk about emotions.' ' Pitt has previously shared he got sober after he and Angelina Jolie split in 2016. 'I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privileges,' Pitt told the New York Times in 2019. The actor, who next stars as a race car driver in 'F1: The Movie,' acknowledged to Shepard that he can be 'a stubborn f**k.' 'But when I've stepped in s**t, I'm pretty good at taking responsibility for it and owning up to it,' Pitt said. 'Now it's a quest to what can I do with this and how can I right this and make sure it doesn't happen again,' he added. 'Be better, step up.' He also said he learned from the candor of the other men in his recovery group. 'It became a thing for me, something I looked forward to,' Pitt said. 'F1: The Movie' debuts in theaters on June 27.
