What to know:

  • XXI is down sharply in its first day of trading following its SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners.
  • It's the latest in this year's crop of bitcoin treasury companies to see stock performance suffer.
  • Bitcoin is little-changed for the day at $90,900.

Twenty One (XXI) has fallen 25% early in its first day of trading following completion of its SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners (CEP). Now trading at about $10.50, the stock is at a level that effectively places the bitcoin native firm near its PIPE pricing of $10.

The company enters the market with the third largest corporate bitcoin treasuries at 43,514 BTC and is backed by Tether, Bitfinex and Strike CEO Jack Mallers (who is also serving as XXI CEO). Its strategy focuses on capital efficient bitcoin accumulation and bitcoin ecosystem services supported by onchain proof of reserves.

XXI’s correction is just the latest for this year's crop of bitcoin treasury companies and follows the debut of Anthony Pompliano’s bitcoin treasury vehicle ProCap BTC (BRR), which completed its own SPAC deal last week. BRR has plunged more than 60% since and now trades at about $3.75, as the PIPE pricing methodology continues to suffer.

The most high profile U.S. listed bitcoin treasury company to fund its vehicle through a PIPE was KindlyMD (NAKA), which now trades at $0.43 and is down 99% from its all time high.

Bitcoin itself is little-changed over the past 24 hours at $90,900.

US Justice Department nabs smugglers behind $160M Nvidia‑chip export ring to China

The post US Justice Department nabs smugglers behind $160M Nvidia‑chip export ring to China appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Justice Department on Tuesday confirmed it shut down a China‑linked smuggling ring that moved or tried to move more than $160 million worth of Nvidia AI chips out of the United States and into banned markets, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas. Two businessmen were arrested, while a Houston‑based company and its owner already pleaded guilty as the wider case continues to unfold. The crackdown lands as Washington tightens the screws on export controls meant to block China from getting advanced AI computing power built on Nvidia GPUs. The probe, named Operation Gatekeeper, focused on chips with civil and military uses, which prosecutors say could damage US national security if they fall into the wrong hands. Hsu moves $160M in Nvidia GPUs through fake paperwork Newly unsealed court filings show Alan Hao Hsu, 43, of Missouri City, Texas, and his company Hao Global LLC admitted guilt on October 10 to smuggling and illegal exports. Prosecutors said Alan and his network exported or attempted to export at least $160 million in Nvidia H100 and H200 GPUs between October 2024 and May 2025. The H100 and H200 are not Nvidia’s most advanced chips, but they still sit on the restricted list and cannot be shipped to China without a special federal license. Authorities said Alan ran his pipeline by falsifying shipping records, mislabeling the GPUs, and hiding their real destinations across China, Hong Kong, and other banned locations. Investigators tracked more than $50 million in money tied to China that flowed into the operation to fund the purchases. Alan remains free on bond and faces up to 10 years in prison at sentencing on February 18. Hao Global LLC could face fines up to twice its illegal profits and be placed on probation. A…
