Indeed, even the most steadfast of institutions, not merely crypto startups, are leading this transformation, much to the dismay of those who cling to the old ways. 🧠

This acquisition marks a significant step for Thames Capital, underscoring its confidence in the bitcoin mining sector. Despite this new position, Cipher Mining does not yet rank among the firm’s top 10 holdings; however, it is now positioned as the 11th largest holding as of the close of Q3 2025.

Bitcoin: the cryptocurrency that conquered the world, yet somehow forgot to pack a wallet. 🌍👛 Its triumphs are legendary, but its scalability? A tragedy penned by Shakespeare himself. 🎭
