Sohar International Bank has received approval from Oman’s central bank to acquire a majority stake in a Saudi-based financial advisory company as part of its regional expansion strategy.
The agreement paves the way for the lender to enter a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Neo Group UAE to buy a 55 percent stake in Neo Group’s Saudi venture, the bank said in a bourse disclosure on Tuesday. No financial details were given.
Neo Group Saudi has already been approved by the Capital Market Authority to conduct asset management and financial advisory services.
In April Sohar International announced plans to explore a merger with Oman’s Ahli Bank, which could create a lender with OR11.1 billion ($29 billion) in assets. Last year it completed a merger with HSBC Bank Oman.
Sohar, which is Oman’s second largest lender by assets, has been listed on the Muscat Securities Market since December 2024.
Its share price was OR0.162 on Wednesday, up around 6 percent year to date.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference
The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town. From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world. Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us. Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak. “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.” We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
