Gemini has announced its plans to go public by filing a confidential S-1 registration statement with the SEC, following Circle's successful IPO. Analysts highlight the investment excitement around Circle’s stock (CRCL), which saw a remarkable surge after its debut, reaching nearly quadrupling its IPO price of $31 within days. However, some experts advise caution for retail investors wanting to buy CRCL shares immediately, recommending they wait until the post-IPO lockup period ends to avoid potential price drops. Meanwhile, Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, is capitalizing on the cryptocurrency surge, boosting its offering of Stride preferred stock (STRD) to $1 billion, with a fixed 10% yield to fund Bitcoin purchases. This offering marks Strategy's third in six months and demonstrates their intention to expand their Bitcoin holdings. Both developments reflect a dynamic shift in the crypto market as traditional finance and cryptocurrency converge more closely than ever.
