XRP Gets Its Own Treasury Company: Look Who's Building A $20 Million XRP Reserve

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Nature's Miracle Holding Inc. (OTCQB:NMHI), a publicly listed vertical farming technology firm, on Wednesday announced plans to allocate up to $20 million towards a new corporate treasury strategy centered around Ripple's (CRYPTO: XRP). The company stated that it will use proceeds from a recently approved equity financing arrangement to fund the purchase of XRP tokens, with aims to treat the cryptocurrency as a long-term strategic reserve. The decision makes Nature's Miracle one of the first publicly traded non-financial companies to adopt XRP, currently the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, as a treasury asset. Don't Miss: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics— This AI-Powered Trading Platform Has 5,000+ Users, 27 Pending Patents, and a $43.97M Valuation — You Can Become an Investor for Just $500.25 The company also plans to engage with staking opportunities and broader participation in the Ripple ecosystem. According to the release, the funding will initially come from capital raised under a registration statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Further XRP purchases may be financed through a mix of equity issuances, structured financing, and strategic placements. CEO James Li attributed the move to increased regulatory clarity following the recent passage of the GENIUS Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 18, which has encouraged broader corporate participation in the digital asset space. 'We see the huge potential of XRP as it improves the speed and reduces the cost of cross-border payments,' Li said. Nature's Miracle joins a growing list of companies engaged with XRP. Financial institutions such as Banco Santander (NYSE:SAN) and American Express (NYSE:AXP) have already incorporated Ripple's payment technologies into their operations. In 2023, Japan's SBI Holdings announced the use of XRP in its internal treasury operations, while other blockchain-native firms have used XRP for cross-border liquidity and remittance flows.

Imperial Provides Update on Fall of Ground Incident and Reports Production for 2025 Second Quarter at Red Chris Mine

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Imperial Metals Corporation ('Imperial' or the 'Company') (TSX:III) provides an update on the two fall of ground incidents at the 30% owned Red Chris mine in northwest British Columbia. In coordination with industry partners, mine operator Newmont has deployed specialized drones to assess the geotechnical conditions underground. The debris blocking access to the underground area is estimated to be approximately 20 to 30 metres long and 7 to 8 metres high. The area of the refuge chambers is not in the same area as the fall of ground and is understood to be stable and well-ventilated. Newmont has commenced the use of a remote-controlled scoop, that was transported from the nearby Brucejack mine site, to begin removing debris and restore access beyond the incident site. Teams are restoring the specialized communication system (leaky feeder system) in attempts to re-establish communication with the workers. The workers are understood to be sheltering in a MineARC refuge chamber designed to support 16 people. Additional refuge chambers are also available nearby and accessible if required. Production at Red Chris mine has been paused to allow full focus on rescue efforts and re-establishing communication. Imperial also reports quarterly copper and gold production for the period ending June 30, 2025 from Red Chris mine. Red Chris mine production (100%) for the second quarter of 2025 was 23.479 million pounds copper and 22,624 ounces gold compared to 20.731 million pounds copper and 12,531 ounces gold during the second quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2025, Red Chris mine copper production was up 13% compared to the second quarter of 2024. The increase in copper production was a result of a 17% increase in copper grade (0.547% vs 0.466%), offset by a small decrease in throughput. Gold production in the second quarter of 2025 was up 81% from the second quarter of 2024 as result of the increased gold grades and better recovery, offset by slightly lower throughput. For the first six months of 2025, copper production was up 25% compared to the same period last year on higher copper grades and gold production was up 101% on higher gold grades and better recovery. The Red Chris Block Cave Feasibility Study is advancing as are permitting activities and early-stage underground development work and other work to support the underground block cave project. The total development completed to June 30, 2025, was approximately 11,727 metres, completed on both the Nagha and conveyor declines. The technical and scientific information related to the Company's mineral projects has been reviewed and approved by Brian Kynoch, President of Imperial, the designated Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. About Imperial Imperial is a Vancouver based exploration, mine development and operating company with holdings that include the Mount Polley mine (100%), the Huckleberry mine (100%), and the Red Chris mine (30%). Imperial also holds a portfolio of 23 exploration properties in British Columbia. Company Contacts Brian Kynoch | President | 604.669.8959 Darb S.

TFSA Fortune: How 1 Technology Stock Could Secure Your Financial Future

Written by Brian Paradza, CFA at The Motley Fool Canada Imagine turning a $7,000 investment into a staggering $2.5 million position, entirely within the tax-free haven of your TFSA. That's the remarkable reality for investors in Constellation Software (TSX:CSU) stock over the past two decades – a mind-boggling total return exceeding 36,000%. While replicating that exact feat might be a tall order, a spun-off company following the same powerful blueprint strategy could be poised for significant long-term growth, making it a compelling candidate for your own TFSA. That TSX technology stock is (TSXV:TOI), and it's grabbing serious attention this week as the top performer on the TSX's Top Tech 50 list. isn't just riding a growth wave; it's actively building one. Much like its former parent Constellation Software, Topicus focuses on acquiring, managing, and building specialized vertical market software businesses – essential software solutions tailored for specific industries. While Constellation conquered North America, is methodically applying the same winning strategy across diverse markets in Europe. Canadian investors seeking long-term growth within their TFSA may find Topicus's focused approach appealing. Why stock deserves a place in your TFSA The tech stock's early results are promising. spun off from Constellation in early 2021, and early investors are already sitting on gains nearing 200%. More importantly, the underlying business is firing on all cylinders. first-quarter 2025 results showcased impressive momentum. Revenue surged 16% year-over-year to €355.6 million (about $569 million CAD), driven by strategic acquisitions and a solid 4% organic growth rate. Earnings per share jumped an even more impressive 36.4% to €0.30. But the real story, the fuel powering growth engine, is its free cash flow (FCF). This crucial metric represents the cash a company generates after accounting for operating expenses and capital expenditures — the actual cash-based profit available for reinvestment, dividends, or debt repayment. Topicus generated a staggering €271.4 million in cash flow from operations during the first quarter, leading to free cash flow of €161.7 million ($258.8 million CAD), a 21% year-over-year increase. This torrent of free cash flow is the lifeblood of growth strategy. It allows the TSX tech stock to aggressively pursue acquisitions without constantly needing external financing. For example, during the first quarter, completed acquisitions totaling €39.4 million ($63 million CAD). With quarterly FCF exceeding €161 million, Topicus has the capacity to significantly ramp up its deal-making. It could could have quadrupled its acquisition spend just from the first quarter FCF alone! This self-sustaining model is precisely how Constellation built its empire. Long-term oriented TFSA investors may wish to check stock out before fully deploying their $7,000 contribution room for 2025. TOI stock valuation and the Constellation blueprint To be clear, TOI stock carries a premium valuation. Its forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) sits around 69, higher than the industry average of 52. However, looking solely at earnings misses the bigger picture fueled by cash. When you consider its phenomenal cash generation, stock looks far more reasonably priced. Its price-to-free-cash-flow (P/FCF) multiple is 38.6, significantly cheaper than the North American industry average of 66. Similarly, its enterprise value-to-free-cash-flow (EV/FCF) multiple of 25 compares very favourably to the industry average of 56. The big question for TFSA investors is: Can replicate the phenomenal success of Constellation Software stock? ^TSX data by YCharts The potential for stock to widely outperform the TSX is certainly there. Topicus still operates under Constellation's guidance, and it is using the exact same proven playbook. The company's core strategy of acquiring essential, niche software businesses is time-tested. Chances of outright failure seem low. However, tempering expectations is prudent. Europe presents different market dynamics than North America. More crucially, the timing is different. Constellation began its acquisition spree 30 years ago in 1995 and survived the aftermath of the dot-com bust, finding bargains when tech valuations were depressed. Topicus is executing its strategy in the artificial intelligence (AI) era, where software valuations are generally higher. While the strategy is sound, expecting an identical 36,000% return over the next 20 years is potentially unrealistic. TFSA investor takeaway stock represents a fascinating opportunity for TFSA investors seeking long-term, tax-free compound growth. It possesses a powerful engine: the proven Constellation Software acquisition strategy, now focused on the European market, and fueled by rapidly growing, substantial free cash flow. This internally generated cash allows the technology stock to aggressively fund its own growth, creating a potentially powerful compounding effect within your TFSA.
