Fold Holdings, a publicly traded bitcoin fintech, discloses that it sells $45 million worth of bitcoin as part of a balance-sheet restructuring and fully repays its collateralized debt. Multiple outlets report that the repayment is completed in full using proceeds from the bitcoin sale, and the company’s actions drive a sharp rise in its share price on Wednesday morning. The reporting describes the transaction as a restructuring of Fold’s collateralized debt, with the company eliminating the obligation rather than refinancing it. In reaction to the announcement and the company’s disclosure, Fold shares surge by roughly 160% in intraday trading, with figures reported around 160% and above 70% depending on the time of measurement by each outlet. Both sources characterize the bitcoin sale as $45 million and link the debt payoff directly to the sale proceeds. The coverage focuses on the financial effect of the repayment and the market response to the disclosure rather than providing additional details on terms, counterparties, or the timing of the sale beyond the reported sale amount and the debt being wiped out in full.
