Highlights
On Friday, July 26, OneMedNet (NASDAQ: ONM) stock price surged by 22% after the company revealed a significant $1.8 million investment in Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency. The announcement was made during the ongoing Bitcoin Conference, where industry leaders are exploring opportunities to gain exposure to the asset class.
A large number of public-listed corporates are adopting the MicroStrategy playbook for holding Bitcoins on their balance sheets. With the USD losing its strength, corporates are finding solace in Bitcoin investments seeing it as a store of value and preventing any capital erosion.
On Friday, the OneMedNet stock surged all the way to $1.29 soon after the Bitcoin exposure announcement. However, it settled for 0.99 during the closing bell on Wall Street.

Seeing the strength of Bitcoin in the global economy, lawmakers are increasingly leaning towards the asset class and seeking exposure to the newly launched Bitcoin ETFs for state pension funds.
A day before, Jersey City mayor Steven Fulop said that they would partially allocate the state pension funds to Bitcoin ETFs. Joining the bandwagon, the Michigan pension fund purchases a staggering $6.6 million in shares of the Ark Bitcoin ETF (ARKB). Previously, Winconsin has also disclosed a $160 million investment in Bitcoin ETFs.
The spot Bitcoin ETFs have delivered a solid performance this month of July with staggering inflows led by BlackRock. On Friday, the Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of $51.8 million with Bitwise (BITB) leading the show.
The Bitcoin price is also showing great strength surging by another 1.5% and moving past $68,000. Analysts predict BTC will surge further to $71,500 before deciding on the next move.
