Heidelberger Beteiligungsholding AG Begins Acquiring SQD Tokens and Prepares to Rename as SQD.AI Strategies AG
The acquisition of SQD tokens initiated by Heidelberger Beteiligungsholding includes a combination of OTC deals and market purchases, signaling the start of a broader long-term investment strategy. For the fiscal year 2025, the company plans to raise up to €50 million to acquire, hold, and stake SQD tokens, reinforcing its intent to support and grow the SQD ecosystem.
Chairman Clemens Jakopitsch, who made the original investment in SQD on behalf of the Piëch Family Office, commented: 'We see powerful crypto tailwinds on multiple fronts. The broader crypto market is gaining institutional momentum, especially with two landmark regulatory frameworks expected to pass the U.S. Senate in July. At the same time, the convergence of data and AI is emerging as the most critical technological shift of our time. SQD is uniquely positioned at the heart of both.'
"This marks a pivotal moment for SQD,' said Marcel Fohrmann, Co-Founder of SQD.AI. 'The commitment from SQD.AI Strategies AG reflects growing recognition that real-time, intelligent data infrastructure is now core to competitive advantage. As AI systems become more autonomous and tokenized economies scale, the demand for high-performance, onchain-native data is accelerating—and SQD is built to meet that demand."
The upcoming name change to SQD.AI Strategies AG emphasizes the company's focus on becoming the leading listed vehicle for exposure to SQD, which forms a foundational layer in the tokenized, AI-powered future of data infrastructure.
Operating as a decentralized data-lakehouse, SQD transforms raw onchain events into institutional-grade datasets streamed via ultra-low-latency APIs. Backed by a global community of developers and data providers, SQD is creating a permissionless alternative to Bloomberg and Snowflake that is optimized for AI agents and tokenized assets.
Heidelberger Beteiligungsholding AG is Germany's first dedicated crypto treasury company. As a listed investment vehicle, it focuses exclusively on the long-term accumulation, holding, and staking of SQD tokens — the native asset of the Subsquid network. With a conviction-led strategy rooted in the convergence of AI and blockchain, the company aims to provide shareholders with direct exposure to one of the most promising data infrastructure plays in Web3.

Space capsule carrying ashes of 166 people — and cannabis seeds — lost after crashing into Pacific Ocean
A space capsule carrying the ashes of more than 160 people — and a stash of cannabis seeds — was lost when it crashed into the Pacific Ocean after two orbits around the Earth. The Exploration Company (TEC), a German start-up, launched the Nyx capsule's 'Mission Possible' on June 23. Its precious cargo included the remains of 166 people, whose ashes were sent into orbit through Celestis, a Texas-based space burial company. While the departed souls had smooth sailing for two successful orbits around Earth, 'an anomaly occurred, and the vehicle was lost shortly after re-entry,' Celestis co-founder and CEO Charles M. Chafer, wrote on its website. 'The root cause is under investigation, resulting in the Nyx capsule impacting the Pacific Ocean and dispersing its contents at sea,' he added. 'As a result of this unforeseen event, we believe that we will not be able to recover or return the flight capsules aboard.' 3 The Nyx shuttle, launched by The Exploration Company, crashed into the Pacific Ocean, losing the remains for more than 166 people — and a stash of cannabis seeds. Space X TEC said the capsule was 'launched successfully, powered the payloads nominally in-orbit, stabilized itself after separation with the launcher, re-entered and re-established communication after black out,' it wrote on LinkedIn. When the capsule returned to Earth's orbit, the company suddenly 'lost communication' with it 'a few minutes before splash down,' it added. The materials on board the capsule have not been recovered since its crash landing in the Pacific, the company confirmed. 3 The precious cargo was sent into orbit through Celestis, a Texas-based space burial company. Space X 'We apologize to all our clients who entrusted us with their payloads.' Chafer said Celestis shares 'in the disappointment of our families, and we offer our sincerest gratitude for their trust.' 'While there were many successful milestones achieved — launch, orbit, and controlled reentry — this was the first Celestis mission designed to return from orbit, and we recognize the bravery and ambition it required from all involved. We also recognize that no technical achievement replaces the profound personal meaning this service holds for our families,' he added. 3 All the cargo was lost at sea. The Exploration Company The ashes were lost alongside a collection of cannabis plant matter and seeds, Popular Mechanics reported. The plant was contributed by the citizen science project Martian Grow that seeks to 'make science free again' and ultimately farm cannabis on Mars, according to its website. TEC has only sent one other capsule to space before Nyx, according to its website. 'We have been pushing boundaries in record time and cost. This partial success reflects both ambition and the inherent risks of innovation. Leveraging the technical milestones achieved yesterday and the lessons we will extract from our ongoing investigation, we will then prepare to re-fly as soon as possible,' TEC assured. Chafer said Celestis was in contact with the families 'to offer support and discuss possible next steps' — and hoped they would 'find some peace in knowing their loved ones were part of a historic journey, launched into space, orbited Earth, and are now resting in the vastness of the Pacific, akin to a traditional and honored sea scattering. 'We remain committed to serving with transparency, compassion, and care.'

New pro-Adams poll still has NYC mayor trailing Cuomo by double digits
A stunning poll aimed at drumming up support for Mayor Eric Adams' re-election bid still has the incumbent trailing ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo by double digits as the pair jockey to take on socialist Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani, the 33-year-old Queens state assemblyman who shockingly trounced Cuomo in the Dem primary last month, leads the ex-gov and Adams by double-digits himself with 41% of the vote in a theoretical general election — while Cuomo garners 26%, and Hizzoner takes home 16%, the survey said. Both Cuomo and Adams are still listed as running as independents in November. Advertisement 3 A new poll shows support for Mayor Eric Adams' re-election bid still trails behind ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani by double digits. Gabriella Bass 'If both [Cuomo and Adams] are in the race anywhere near the election, Mamdani can go pick out drapes for Gracie Mansion,' said Stephen Graves of Gotham Polling & Analytics. 'It's surprising.' Advertisement The poll surveyed a little more than 1,000 voters between June 30 and July 2 — just days after Adams formally kicked off his reelection bid on an independent line and the stunning Democratic primary win for Mamdani. The primary upset has left moderate Dems and those in the business community scrambling to figure out which of the remaining moderate candidates they can line up behind to challenge the upstart socialist. Adams and Cuomo have both been making their cases to prominent New Yorkers that they are the only one who can take down Mamdani. On Thursday morning, Adams nabbed the support of billionaire Bill Ackman, who urged Cuomo to drop out. Advertisement A day earlier, Rev. Al Sharpton made a similar call telling Cuomo to throw in the towel. 3 Mamdani leads Cuomo and Adams by double-digits himself with 41% of the vote in a theoretical general election. Getty Images But even with the new poll being heavily skewed when surveying voters to try to help boost Adams' numbers and tarnish others, the mayor failed to garner much support, much to the chagrin of his campaign. One of the questions read, 'Some people believe Andrew Cuomo's re-entry into politics shows strength and experience, while others believe it reflects old political habits and unresolved controversies. Which comes closest to your view?' Advertisement Another asked the potential voter if they were 'concerned' about Mamdani for various reasons, such as his 'too extreme' policies, support for defunding the police, lack of experience or his 'focus on symbolic or foreign issues, not local problems.' Graves pointed out that Mamdani largely benefits from the fractured moderate vote split among Adams and Cuomo, as well as GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa, who came in with just under 10% of support. 'If [Adams or Cuomo] drops out, [the other has] a chance, but based on this, Cuomo has the better chance,' Graves said, highlighting Adams' high levels of hard-no voters. 3 Cuomo received only 26% of the vote, while Mayor Adams only got 16% of the vote, as both mayoral candidates are running as independents in November. Matthew McDermott According to the poll, 51% of voters said they would never vote for Adams, while Cuomo came in 12% lower at 39. Around 46% of voters fell into the never-Mamdani category. Adams and Cuomo head into the general with years of political baggage, with the mayor's first term being dominated by federal raids of his top officials and a historic indictment. The ex-governor resigned in 2021 in disgrace amid a series of sexual harassment allegations and fallout from the controversial COVID response.

Check out more newsletters Both have vigorously denied any wrongdoing, but the scandals have repeatedly shown in the polls to drag each of their numbers down. Adams' campaign spokesman, Todd Shapiro, slammed the survey. 'The Adams campaign will be bringing over one million new voters to the polls, many of whom will be voting for the first time,' Shapiro claimed. Advertisement 'These are real New Yorkers — working families, first-time voters, and everyday residents from across the five boroughs — who are energized by the results they've seen under Mayor Adams.' 'Let's be clear: Andrew Cuomo spent nearly $30 million in the primary and was soundly rejected by voters,' Shapiro said. 'If all that money and national attention translates to just a two-point lead in one early poll, that's not a show of strength — it's a ceiling.' Advertisement 'Meanwhile, Mayor Adams is just beginning to campaign, and as more voters hear his message and see the facts, that gap will close and the momentum will shift decisively.' 'Mayor Adams is focused on what matters: lower crime, more jobs, and a stronger, safer New York City. And with over one million new voters backing that vision, Eric Adams will win — because New Yorkers believe in progress, not politics.'
