AMC Entertainment has priced $2 billion in first lien notes due 2031, a move that underscores the company's reliance on debt markets to manage its balance sheet amid volatile cash flows. In the digital asset space, IBM has expanded its Digital Asset Haven integration with Swift's blockchain ledger, enabling tokenized deposit transactions for financial institutions. This represents a tangible step toward institutional crypto adoption, contrasting with Sequans' decision to exit its Bitcoin treasury, which signals a divergence in corporate crypto strategy. The M&A landscape saw a significant reversal as PPLI withdrew its $18 billion cash offer for MGM, leaving the studio open to future deals while Diller retains a stake. In other corporate actions, Baozun announced a $10 million share repurchase program, signaling confidence in its valuation, while Fervo Energy achieved first power at its Cape Station geothermal project, a key milestone for the clean energy sector.
