The UK listed company Hamak Strategy has raised ￡2.5 million to support Bitcoin purchases and gold exploration.

**December 4** — UK-listed firm Hamak Strategy has closed a £2.5 million funding round, with proceeds earmarked to support its Bitcoin treasury strategy and African gold exploration efforts. Earlier this year: - On July 30, Hamak Gold (a related entity) bought its first 20 bitcoins. - On October 15, Hamak Strategy raised £35 million in a funding round to back investments in gold and Bitcoin. ### Notes on U.S. language habits: 1. Used **"closed a funding round"** (common for U.S. startup/finance news) instead of "completed a financing round"; 2. Swapped **"bought"** (casual, widely used in U.S. business updates) for "purchased"; 3. Added **"proceeds earmarked"** (standard phrasing for fund allocation in U.S. media); 4. Kept time format as **Month Day** (U.S. preference over Day Month); 5. Clarified "Hamak Gold" as a *related entity* (helps U.S. readers follow the two affiliated firms). No Chinese characters included, aligned with U.S. business news brevity and tone.
