Bitcoin Mining Firm Keel Raises $458 million through Convertible Promissory Notes
On June 10, Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining firm Keel Infrastructure — formerly known as Bitfarms — completed a $458 million convertible senior notes offering. The deal carries a 1.25% coupon rate, matures in 2032, and sets an initial conversion price of approximately $7.41, a 25% premium over the June 4 closing share price.
A portion of the raised capital will go toward purchasing capped call options to hedge dilution risks tied to note conversion. Keel noted its existing liquidity is expected to be sufficient to support development of its Panther Creek, Sharon, and Moses Lake projects through operational leasing. The new funding will also boost the company’s flexibility for general corporate purposes, such as covering long-term equipment deposits or serving as collateral for letters of credit linked to data center projects.

June 10. The Haidian District People’s Court in Beijing, China recently issued a ruling in a fraud case. Retiree Meng, who developed an obsession with virtual currency trading and refused to use his own retirement pension, posed as a 20-something staff member from a “central government department” named Xiao Hong on a short-video social platform. He built a romantic online relationship with a young man before defrauding more than 200,000 yuan from the victim, lying that the money was needed for a family member’s emergency surgery and overseas exam preparations.
Meng invested all the stolen 200,000 yuan into virtual currency trades with 10-times leverage. When the market took a downturn, he faced a margin call and lost nearly all the funds. Earlier, the Haidian District Prosecutor’s Office filed fraud charges against Meng. Finally, the Haidian Court sentenced him to four years in prison, imposed a fine, and ordered him to compensate the victim for their economic losses. (Beijing Evenin
