Mill City Ventures Makes Bold $441M SUI Token Bet—Shifts to Aggressive Crypto Treasury Play
Finance goes full degen—traditional firm dumps dry powder into SUI.
The pivot no one saw coming
Minnesota-based Mill City Ventures just allocated nearly half a billion to SUI tokens, swapping bond coupons for blockchain receipts. The move signals a radical departure from their traditional lending roots—and a naked bet on Layer 1 adoption.
Treasury 2.0 or desperation play?
While rivals hedge with Bitcoin ETFs, Mill City’s all-in move echoes MicroStrategy’s early BTC gambits. But at $441M, this isn’t a sidecar investment—it’s a full portfolio overhaul. The timing’s curious too, with SUI still 60% below its ATH.
Wall Street meets crypto winter
One analyst quipped: ‘When boomers discover altcoins, you know we’re either at peak adoption or peak stupidity.’ Either way, the 130-year-old firm just became the canary in crypto’s institutional coal mine.
