币界网报道:Bakkt Holdings, the digital asset platform owned by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to offer up to $1 billion in securities, including common stock, preferred stock, and warrants. The filing, made under a "shelf registration," allows Bakkt to sell these securities over time as needed, providing flexibility to raise capital for potential acquisitions, partnerships, or other strategic initiatives. The move comes as Bakkt expands its crypto services, including custody and trading, while navigating a challenging market. CEO Gavin Michael emphasized the company’s focus on institutional adoption of digital assets, though specific plans for the raised funds were not disclosed. Bakkt, which went public via SPAC in 2021, has faced financial struggles, reporting a $225.8 million net loss in Q3 2023. The new funding effort signals Bakkt’s intent to strengthen its position in the crypto infrastructure space amid growing competition.
