Welcome to Fintech Wire — your quick guide to what’s shaping finance and tech today.
What we’ll cover today:

KindlyMD, known for fighting opioid addiction, merges with Trump’s crypto advisor David Bailey’s Bitcoin firm, Nakamoto Holdings.

⚡Wire Simplified
KindlyMD merged with Nakamoto Holdings, led by Trump’s Bitcoin advisor David Bailey.
They raised over $700M, offering shares at $1.12 and convertible notes at $2.80.
The goal? Acquire bitcoin-native companies globally — from India to Argentina.
The healthcare biz will shrink; the new firm will focus on increasing “bitcoin per share.”
It’s being called “Strategy, squared” — bigger than Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy pivot.
✔️Straight to the Point:
From clinics to crypto: KindlyMD is ditching healthcare for Bitcoin with big backing, big money, and an even bigger vision.

Fintech founder Nina Mohanty builds Bloom Money, a savings app for immigrants, inspired by traditional money circles and community finance.
🚨Breaking News:
Bloom Money raised $2M to digitize ROSCAs — informal group savings systems used by immigrant communities ignored by mainstream banks.
⚡Wire Simplified
Immigrants often pool money in informal “money circles” like chit funds or kametis.
Mainstream banks flagged these as “suspicious,” even shutting down accounts.
Bloom Money lets users create digital money circles that feel safe, social, and familiar.
The app will also help users invest in pensions, gold, and build credit.
Mohanty wants to turn informal habits into wealth-building power.
✔️Straight to the Point:
Bloom Money is modernizing old-school immigrant savings habits — giving tradition a fintech upgrade and helping users build real generational wealth.

Bears are beyond denial phase now. They are in FEAR.
Expect short covering rally.
