The transaction is intended to ensure sufficient liquidity to meet the 78 million pound-repayment obligation on its convertible loan notes due on Dec. 31 should certain holders choose not to convert their notes into equity during the planned uplisting.

Satsuma continues to progress toward admission to the Equity Shares Category of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Official List and trading on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) Main Market. Completion of the uplisting remains dependent on FCA approval of its prospectus, so timing and certainty are not yet guaranteed ahead of Dec. 30.

Shares moved slightly higher to 1.05 pence after the announcement, while down nearly 30% over the past month.

Satsuma now ranks as the 61st largest publicly traded bitcoin holder following the sale.

The crypto market slipped to the lower end of its range after the Federal Reserve’s 25bps rate cut failed to spark fresh momentum.

What to know:

BTC is trading near $90,350 after defending the $88,200 support zone, but momentum remains capped below the key $94,500 resistance level.
Implied volatility fell to its lowest since November, ETH/BTC IV spreads widened, and risk reversals stayed negative across tenors while open interest declined—most sharply in ADA.
