Bitcoin and all major cryptocurrencies have seen not only a massive surge in prices recently but also a huge growth in both acceptance and interest in crypto as a replacement for and a hedge against traditional money and finance. The demand is driven by both millennials and institutional investors.

Matt Luongo, CEO of Thesis recently reported, “Millennial finance is premised on the ability of new technologies to fundamentally and permanently reshape how the money system operates in both form and function. This isn’t just theory. It’s happening now, and millennials are leading the charge. The success of platforms like Robinhood, Acorns and Wealthfront demonstrates the potency of this movement and underscores millennials’ thirst for options beyond the traditional banks and brokerage houses.”

“But these apps are only the tip of the iceberg. Their fundamental innovation is around user experience; they ultimately use the same financial infrastructure that legacy banks and wealth managers do. Millennial finance has more in store – and cryptocurrencies will be key. Rather than building a better train to run over the same old rails, crypto lets us build new, open, peer-to-peer rails.”

Forbes reported, “Institutional demand for bitcoin is soaring amid the coronavirus crisis, with multi-billion dollar bitcoin and crypto-asset manager Grayscale reporting its biggest-ever quarterly inflows of almost $1 billion.”

Previously involved in the crypto sector and now seeing significant opportunities ahead, Integrated Ventures Inc. (OTCQB: INTV) just reported the execution of a $1,000,000 Term Sheet with Eagle Equities, LLC and updated shareholders with recent corporate developments.

From the news: The Company has agreed and executed Term Sheet with Eagle Equities, LLC for Private Placement, in the amount of $1,086,956, which will be used to expand cryptocurrency operations and to support future acquired operations. Use of proceeds: (1) purchases of 500 (*) assorted mining rigs: Antminer S17/S19, WhatsMiner and Innosilicon A10 and (2) deployment of the capital to support potential M&A transactions (**).

From the news: The Company has decided to diversify its business operations, by expanding its focus from cryptocurrency mining operations to aggressive pursuit and implementation of M&A roll-up, a growth driven strategy seeking to achieve, above market, risk-adjusted returns, primarily by targeting: (1) companies in financial distress, (2) undergoing a turnaround or (3) undervalued companies that are looking for financial assistance, due to the current economic conditions. Integrated Ventures intends to acquire, merge-in and consolidate underperforming companies, mainly in the technology sector, which will allow INTV to combine all financial and management resources together, to cut down operational costs, and to increase the Company's revenues and market cap.

From the news: To assist with execution of roll-up strategy, the Company plans to engage a business consulting group, with verifiable revenue generating M&A targets. These pre-vetted targets have a history of 2+ year operations with consistent revenues and EBITDA margins of 10%+. The Company intends to pursue such acquisitions, by offering below market multiples to the revenues with 10%-15% in cash and common stock. As of today, the Company has identified 2 such targets and if successful in closing these 2 deals, Integrated Ventures annual sales are expected to reach around $5.5 million.

Integrated Ventures CEO, Steve Rubakh, commented, “The Company plans to diversify and expand its operations, by acquiring revenue generating assets that are available at below market pricing. We intend to assemble a team consisting of experienced and seasoned business professionals, ready to execute a value driven approach, thru a bottom-up research and due diligence process that seeks to capitalize on unique market opportunities.

Continued: “We believe that this new business strategy offers an exciting path forward and will significantly increase Company's assets, market valuation and result in an increase in shareholder's value.”

With the funding, Integrated Ventures intends to focus on the following sectors: Data Center – Design Construction & Management, Cryptocurrency- Mining and Equipment Sales, DeFi Blockchain – Investments, Applications & Node Operations and E-Commerce & Information Technology Consulting Services.

(NASDAQ:MARA) one of the few Nasdaq listed cryptocurrency mining companies in the United States, recently announced the purchase of 700 next generation M31S+ ASIC Miners from MicroBT.
