Bitcoin ATM Operator CoinFlip Explores Potential $1B Sale: Bloomberg
The company is working with an advisor to gauge buyer interest, the report said. CoinFlip could seek at least $1 billion in a deal, though the valuation is far from guaranteed. Discussions are still in early stages and may not result in a transaction.
CoinFlip's move follows a wave of high-profile crypto acquisitions in 2025, driven by a rally in bitcoin's BTC price. Players like Kraken, Ripple and Coinbase have inked deals worth over billions of dollars this year, with others eyeing acquisitions to bolster their balance sheets or prepare for public listings.
Founded in 2015, CoinFlip has expanded its footprint beyond the U.S. to markets like Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It allows users to buy and sell crypto at physical terminals, catering to customers who prefer in-person transactions or lack access to digital platforms.
The firm raised seed funding in 2018 from investors including Shoreline Venture Management and JetBlue's VC arm.

Wayzata, United States / Minnesota, July 28th, 2025, Chainwire Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. Announces $450,000,000 Private Placement to Initiate Sui Treasury Strategy Upon the closing of the Private Placement, Mill City will adopt a Sui Treasury Strategy Mill City intends to continue its short-term non-bank lending and specialty finance business Marius Barnett and Stephen Mackintosh, Co-founders of Karatage, will become Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and Chief Investment Officer of the Company, respectively, effective upon the closing of the Private Placement Industry-First Relationship with Sui Foundation Provides Institutional-Grade Gateway for Exposure to Only Blockchain Built for Mass Adoption Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. (" Mill City" or the ' Company ') (NASDAQ:MCVT), a non-bank lender and specialty finance company, today announced that it has entered into securities purchase agreements (the ' Securities Purchase Agreements ') for a private investment in public equity for the purchase and sale of 83,025,830 shares of common stock (or common stock equivalents in lieu thereof) at a price of $5.42 per share for expected aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $ 450,000,000, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses (the ' Private Placement ', or the ' Offering '). Karatage Opportunities (' Karatage '), the London-based proprietary hedge fund specializing in digital assets and emerging technology investments, founded by Marius Barnett and Stephen Mackintosh, acted as the lead investor, with an equivalent investment from the Sui Foundation, an independent organization dedicated to the advancement and adoption of the Sui network. As a significant early investor in the Sui ecosystem, Karatage has established itself as a strategic partner to Mysten Labs, the original contributors to Sui, with deep operational experience across the Sui network. The Offering included participation by prominent firms and infrastructure providers Big Brain Holdings, Galaxy Digital Inc (Nasdaq: GLXY) and Dr Jack Kong – NLABS Fund as well as investment from Pantera Capital , M2, Electric Capital, GSR, Selini, Protagonist, ParaFi Capital, Borderless, dao5, Arrington Capital, Comma3 Ventures, FalconX, Paper Ventures and Maven 11 amongst others. Galaxy Asset Management will serve as the Asset Manager. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about July 31, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company intends to use approximately 98% of the net proceeds from the Private Placement to acquire the native cryptocurrency of the Sui blockchain commonly referred to as 'SUI', and approximately 2% of the net proceeds from the Private Placement to fund the Company's short-term lending business. SUI will serve as the Company's primary treasury reserve asset. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners is acting as the sole placement agent in connection with the offering. Upon closing of the Offering, the Company intends to appoint two new members to the Company's board of directors (the ' Board '). The new Board members provide the strong and experienced leadership the Company needs as the Company pivots to a SUI treasury strategy: Marius Barnett (Co-Founder of Karatage) will serve as the Chairman of the Board. A veteran operator and investor in digital assets, Mr. Barnett has a track record in building businesses across real estate, infrastructure and energy. Dana Wagner will serve as an independent Board Director. As a current board member at Coinbase Custody Trust Company and former general counsel at Square, Mr. Wagner has served in senior-level legal roles for category-defining firms at the cutting edge of financial technology. Stephen Mackintosh (Co-Founder and General Partner at Karatage) will serve as the Company's Chief Investment Officer. With previous experience in artificial intelligence and deep tech, Mr. Mackintosh brings extensive experience across the Sui ecosystem as he manages the SUI treasury strategy for the Company. 'We're launching at a pivotal moment when both institutional crypto and AI are reaching critical mass — creating significant opportunities across blockchain infrastructure,' said Stephen Mackintosh, the proposed Chief Investment Officer of Mill City and General Partner at Karatage. 'We believe that Sui is well positioned for mass adoption with the speed and efficiency institutions require for crypto at scale, plus the technical architecture capable of supporting AI workloads while maintaining security and decentralization.' 'Sui was built to provide the scalability, speed, and security needed to support the next generation of decentralized applications and real-world crypto use-cases for consumers and institutions alike — from stablecoins to artificial intelligence to gaming and broader finance,' added Christian Thompson, Managing Director at the Sui Foundation. Mill City intends to acquire SUI tokens on the open market, as well as via institutional-grade deal flow typically reserved for crypto funds and a negotiated purchase and sale agreement with Sui Foundation — a treasury strategy now accessible through a publicly traded structure with daily liquidity. As the sole SUI treasury with support from the Sui Foundation, Mill City and the Sui Foundation team will share information about the technology and ecosystem growth, establishing it as one of the only foundation-supported crypto treasury strategies. 'The future belongs to crypto, AI, and stablecoins — and they all need infrastructure that can handle real scale. That's Sui,' said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Mysten Labs. 'We believe that everything has been leading up to the right time to make Sui's founding vision a reality — and in our view, the moment is now.' The Offering is being made in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " Securities Act"), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the securities offered in the Private Placement may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.
