Hong Kong construction company buys 4.250 BTC in $483 million deal
- Ming Shing Invests Nearly $500 Million in Bitcoin
- Construction company shares soar after purchase announcement
- Billion-dollar deal highlights corporate adoption of cryptocurrencies
Ming Shing Group Holdings Limited, a Nasdaq-listed construction company based in Hong Kong, announced on Wednesday a large deal to acquire 4.250 bitcoins. The transaction, valued at approximately $482,9 million, will be carried out with Winning Mission Group, based in the British Virgin Islands.
According to the announcement, the average purchase price was set at $113.638 per BTC. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year. Rather than a cash payment, the company opted to issue convertible promissory notes and share warrants to the seller.
The transaction also involves Rich Plenty Investment Limited, which will receive half of the total amount. Both Rich Plenty Investment Limited and Winning Mission will be entitled to convertible notes worth over $241 million each, as well as warrants allowing them to purchase over 200 million Ming Shing shares.
Wenjin Li, CEO of the construction company, highlighted the strategic objectives of the decision. "We believe the Bitcoin market is highly liquid and that the investment can capture Bitcoin's potential appreciation and increase the company's assets. We are dedicated to creating additional value for our shareholders and actively exploring options for the company's future growth," he stated.
The market reaction was immediate. Ming Shing shares, trading under the ticker MSW, rose nearly 30% after the announcement before losing some momentum. Even so, the stock closed the session up 11,5%, trading at US$1,65.
The initiative reinforces the movement of traditional corporations towards cryptocurrencies, consolidating Bitcoin as an asset increasingly present in business expansion and diversification strategies.
