Orion Resource Partners completes largest ever fundraise, taking total assets under management to well over $9 billion

NEW YORK, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Orion Resource Partners LP (“Orion”), a leading global investment firm specializing in metals and materials, today announces the successful final close of Mine Finance Fund IV (“Fund IV”), its flagship strategy dedicated to providing comprehensive and tailored financing solutions for the construction and acquisition of strategic metals and critical mineral assets.

Fund IV closed at approximately $2.2 billion, making it the largest fund raised to date by Orion. The fund attracted commitments from a highly diversified global investor base, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other leading institutional investors. Fund IV is already 61% committed across a portfolio of projects, spanning North and South America, Europe, Australasia, and Africa, with strong performance demonstrated by early distributions to investors. The portfolio benefits from robust fundamental market conditions in the metals and mining space, and underscores Orion’s disciplined investment approach and active asset management capabilities.

The final close of Fund IV follows a series of successful fundraising initiatives and strategic partnerships across Orion’s multi-strategy platform over the past year and brings the firm’s total assets under management to well over $9 billion. This growth reflects the continued expansion of Orion’s broader investment platform, including:

  • the Orion Critical Mineral Consortium, launched with $1.8 billion of committed capital in October 2025 in partnership with the U.S. Government;
  • a $1.2 billion partnership with ADQ to establish Orion Abu Dhabi in January 2025, a joint venture focused on investing in and securing the supply of strategic metals and critical minerals;
  • a partnership with SNB Capital announced in January 2026 to support the development of Saudi Arabia’s mining industry and increase its access to critical commodities;
  • the growth in Orion’s liquid strategies to more than $750 million assets under management, including the firm’s long-only public equity strategy, Orion Resource Equities, and its liquid alternatives strategy, Orion Commodities Management; and
  • the successful $43 million close of Orion Industrial Ventures’ inaugural fund in January 2026, dedicated to investing in emerging technology companies that enable a more economic and sustainable supply of critical minerals, materials, and new energy solutions.

Together, these initiatives demonstrate the scale and diversification of Orion’s integrated platform, with strategies spanning the full liquidity spectrum, from resource royalties and mine finance to venture capital, physical metals offtake and logistics, and public markets investments.

Oskar Lewnowski, Founder and Group Chief Executive Officer of Orion Resource Partners LP, said: “The past year has been a defining one for Orion. As global demand for critical minerals and strategic metals has continued to accelerate, we have seen growing engagement from sovereign investors and strategic partners who recognize the strength of our platform and our long-standing capabilities across the mining and metals value chain. The momentum we have achieved across all of our strategies reflects the consistency of our performance, the discipline of our approach, and the increasing relevance of our investment model in a rapidly evolving global landscape. Surpassing well over $9 billion in assets under management is a clear signal of that confidence and a meaningful milestone for the firm.”

Istvan Zollei, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Mine Finance at Orion Resource Partners LP, said: “We are very grateful for the strong support and long-term partnership of our investors. Mine Finance Fund IV represents a significant milestone for Orion and reflects the strength of our platform, our disciplined investment approach, and the increasing strategic importance of critical minerals. The fund is already well-advanced in its deployment, with a portfolio that is performing strongly. With Fund IV, we are exceptionally well positioned to continue identifying and executing opportunities across assets critical to the global economy, including copper, lithium and other essential metals, supported by a deep pipeline and an experienced global team.”

MDJM LTD and H5 Advance Creative Development of International Animated Short Film

Intensive Script Workshops Highlight Artistic Depth and Cross-Cultural Creative Collaboration

LONDON, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MDJM LTD (Nasdaq: UOKA) (“MDJM” or the “Company”) announced that the development of its animated short film project in collaboration with internationally renowned creative studio H5 (S.A.R.L.) (“H5”) has recently entered an intensive script refinement phase, marking a significant step forward in the artistic development of the film.

The project, currently in production development, is part of MDJM’s broader initiative to create original animation works through collaborations with leading international creative studios. The ongoing dialogue between the two teams reflects a shared commitment to crafting a work of high artistic ambition and philosophical depth.

Recent creative discussions between MDJM and H5 have focused on strengthening the narrative structure, emotional resonance, and symbolic language of the film. Rather than approaching animation purely as entertainment, the project is being developed as an auteur-driven cinematic work that explores complex human questions through visual storytelling and atmospheric world-building.

The development process has involved extensive exchanges on how animation can convey philosophical themes through sensory experience rather than direct explanation. Particular attention has been given to the balance between narrative clarity and poetic ambiguity — ensuring that the film remains emotionally accessible while preserving the richness of its underlying ideas.

According to the creative proposal prepared by H5, the project explores a near-future environment shaped by advanced systems of organization and optimization, where everyday life appears seamless and harmonious on the surface. Within this carefully designed world, the story unfolds through subtle disruptions and intimate personal discoveries that gradually open new perspectives on human experience.

Rather than relying on conventional conflict or dystopian tropes, the film’s narrative approach emphasizes atmosphere, discovery, and symbolic gestures. The creative team is exploring how objects, environments, and sensory details can carry metaphorical meaning — allowing philosophical questions to emerge naturally from the story’s unfolding rather than through explicit discourse.

This approach reflects a broader tradition of auteur animation, drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western cinematic languages. Visual references discussed during development include works by Hayao Miyazaki, Makoto Shinkai, and Rintaro, as well as contemporary animated films that combine contemplative storytelling with immersive visual environments.

Creative workshops have also examined the role of visual contrast in shaping the film’s narrative arc. The proposed aesthetic direction juxtaposes technologically refined environments with spaces marked by material history and organic complexity, allowing the visual world itself to participate in the storytelling process.

MDJM noted that this phase of script development highlights the collaborative nature of the project. The ongoing exchanges between MDJM and H5 demonstrate a shared dedication to rigorous creative exploration, where philosophical reflection, narrative experimentation, and visual research are developed in parallel.

MDJM emphasized that the project represents an important step in the Company’s strategy to develop original animation intellectual properties through partnerships with internationally recognized creative studios.

The Company expects to provide further updates on the project as the creative development progresses, as and when appropriate.

AMAZING SONG Expands Globally with U.S. Market Entry, Launches International Social Media and E-commerce Platforms

NEW YORK, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AMAZING SONG, an independent Chinese designer handbag brand built on the spirit of “women supporting women,” has officially announced its global expansion, including the U.S. market launch and a comprehensive digital presence across major international platforms.

As part of this strategic milestone, AMAZING SONG has established official accounts on Instagram (@amazingsong_official), TikTok (@amazing.song.store), and YouTube (AMAZING SONG Official). The brand’s products are now available with global shipping through its official website https://amazingsong.store, offering international customers their first opportunity to experience the brand’s signature design aesthetic and craftsmanship.

This expansion represents a significant evolution for the brand, transitioning from a beloved domestic favorite to an emerging global player, while introducing Chinese designer craftsmanship to a worldwide audience.

A Brand Nurtured by the Power of Women

AMAZING SONG’s journey began in the winter of 2013 when founder Nina, driven by her passion for handbag design, opened a small boutique in Beijing. The brand’s name draws inspiration from the classic hymn “Amazing Grace,” symbolizing hope, resilience, and renewal.

Over the years, AMAZING SONG has cultivated a loyal community through its distinctive designs and meaningful connections with customers. A pivotal moment came during the 2019 pandemic when physical stores were forced to close. In a remarkable show of solidarity, devoted customers rallied together to raise nearly 2 million RMB (approximately $280,000 USD), enabling the brand to successfully pivot to online operations. This extraordinary gesture not only helped the company navigate challenging times but also became a powerful symbol of the deep trust between AMAZING SONG and its community. From that point forward, the brand evolved from Nina’s personal vision into a collective mission supported by women across China.

Handbags Designed to Accompany Women’s Journeys

AMAZING SONG creates handbags designed to accompany women through life’s various chapters. The brand currently offers multiple collections, including Daily, Ace, and Atelier, with a special Collector’s Collection forthcoming.

Distinguished by vibrant color palettes, expressive silhouettes, and premium genuine leather craftsmanship, each AMAZING SONG bag is conceived as both a practical accessory and a meaningful companion in daily life. In 2020, the brand established its own integrated supply chain, ensuring rigorous quality control over materials and production processes.

Women remain central to AMAZING SONG’s identity and operations. A significant percentage of the brand’s workforce—including artisans, designers, and craftspeople—are women, further embodying its founding principle of women supporting women.

A Mission Beyond Design

Guided by its “Love and Share” philosophy, AMAZING SONG actively champions initiatives supporting women’s wellbeing. The brand has partnered with organizations including the Chinese Cancer Foundation to advance women’s health programs and social causes.

With its global expansion now underway, AMAZING SONG aims to connect with like-minded women worldwide who appreciate thoughtful design, exceptional quality, and authentic emotional connection.

Founder Nina shared, “At AMAZING SONG, we believe a handbag transcends its function as a mere accessory—it becomes a trusted companion throughout a woman’s daily journey. We’re thrilled to share our story with women globally and build meaningful connections with new communities across the world.”

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Announces ETH Holdings Reach 4.596 Million Tokens, and Total Crypto and Total Cash Holdings of $11.5 Billion

Bitmine has 3,040,515 staked ETH, representing $6.6 billion at $2,185 per ETH; MAVAN staking solution on track to launch Q1 2026

Bitmine now owns 3.81% of the ETH token supply, over 76% of the way to the ‘Alchemy of 5%’ in just 8 months

Bitmine increased its investment into Eightco (ticker: $ORBS) by $80 million to support ORBS $50 million purchase of OpenAI equity

ORBS is now the only publicly listed equity in the world to give investor direct exposure to OpenAI

Bitmine acquired 5,000 ETH from the Ethereum Foundation (EF) to enable EF to fund its core operations

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings + “Moonshots” total $11.5 billion, including 4.596 million ETH tokens, total cash of $1.2 billion, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine leads crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of BMNR stock

Bitmine is the 105th most traded stock in the US, trading $1.0 billion per day (5-day avg)

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK’s Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas “Tom” Lee to support Bitmine’s goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

LAS VEGAS, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (“Bitmine” or the “Company”) a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash + “moonshots” holdings totaling $11.5 billion.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Announces ETH Holdings Reach 4.596 Million Tokens, and Total Crypto and Total Cash Holdings of $11.5 Billion

As of March 15, 2026 at 7:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 4,595,562 ETH at $2,185 per ETH (NASDAQ: COIN), 196 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $83 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $1.2 billion. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 3.81% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

“Since the start of the Iran war, crypto prices have outperformed and Ethereum has outperformed the S&P 500 by 2,450bp. This is a meaningful outperformance in a mere two weeks,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

“In our view, higher oil is triggering concerns of slowing growth for the global economy. And when investors worry about growth, they buy ‘growth stocks’ including MAG7, software and crypto. As the chart below shows, crypto moves in tandem with software stocks.” continued Lee.

In the past week, Bitmine also made two strategic moves. First, Bitmine increased its investment in existing “moonshot” Eightco (ticker: $ORBS) by an additional $80 million (link here). ORBS acquired a $50 million equity stake in OpenAI and a $25 million equity stake in Beast Industries. “ORBS is now the only publicly listed equity in the world to give investor direct exposure to OpenAI. OpenAI has a much anticipated IPO in 2026 and investors can now get direct exposure via ORBS. Moreover, we see a lot of synergy between worldchain (proof of human), the leading AI platform (OpenAI) and the world’s great content creator, Mr. Beast. Eightco is bringing Cathie Wood’s ARK on as a strategic advisor further increasing the appeal of ORBS.”

Second, Bitmine acquired 5,000 ETH from the Ethereum Foundation (EF, link here) enabling the EF to fund its core operations. “Bitmine acquired the ETH to demonstrate our support for the goals and operations of EF and enabled EF to raise capital without having to sell its ETH in the open market.”

“Bitmine has slightly increased the pace of ETH buys in each of the past two weeks, as our base case is ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’ In the past week, we acquired 60,999 ETH compared to an average of 45k to 50k weekly recently,” stated Lee.

As of March 15, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,040,515 ($6.6 billion at $2,185 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the ETH staking rewards is $272 million annually (using 2.81% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now $180 million. And this 3.0 million ETH is about 66% of the 4.6 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.79%, while Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.81% (annualized). We continue to make progress on our staking solution known as The Made in America VAlidator Network (MAVAN). This will be the ‘best-in-class’ solution offering secure staking infrastructure and will be deployed in early calendar 2026. Bitmine is currently working with 3 staking providers as the Company moves towards unveiling MAVAN in 2026,” continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which owns 738,731 BTC valued at $53 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.0 billion (5-day average, as of March 13, 2026), ranking #105 in the US, behind Nike (rank #104) and ahead of Starbucks (rank #106) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

The GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

YY Group Holding Limited Announces Robotics Pilot Program in Las Vegas Hospitality and Security Markets

Local Las Vegas Robotics Company to Conduct Testing That May Lead to Broader Deployments

SINGAPORE, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) today announced the launch of a robotics pilot program in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the Company will begin testing hospitality and security robots in collaboration with a local Las Vegas robotics company. The pilot program is expected to run for approximately one year, with the goal of evaluating how robotics solutions can improve operational efficiency, service delivery, and security across hospitality environments.

Las Vegas, one of the largest hospitality markets in the world, provides an ideal environment for testing robotics technology at scale. The program will focus on deploying robotics solutions designed to assist with hospitality services and security operations across hotels and commercial properties.


The testing program will evaluate robotics capabilities in real-world hospitality settings, including hotel operations, guest service support, and commercial security monitoring. YY Group believes robotics may help hospitality operators address labor challenges while improving consistency and efficiency in service and safety operations.

If the pilot program proves successful, the Company believes the initiative may lead to additional robotics deployments and potential orders across hospitality properties and security operations throughout Las Vegas.

“Robotics is rapidly becoming an important part of our business,” said Mike Fu, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of YY Group Holding Limited. “We have already begun deploying robotics solutions in Malaysia and Singapore, including some of the finest hotels in the world. Given Las Vegas’ position as the entertainment capital of the world, it is a natural next step for us to test our robotics products in this dynamic market. We believe the city provides an ideal environment to demonstrate how robotics can support hospitality operations and enhance security services at scale.”

Las Vegas attracts tens of millions of visitors annually, making it one of the most active hospitality hubs globally. The Company believes robotics may play an increasingly important role in helping hotels and commercial properties support staff, improve operational efficiency, and enhance security coverage.

YY Group expects to provide updates as testing progresses and as additional opportunities for robotics deployment are evaluated.

YY Group believes robotics may help hospitality operators address labor challenges while improving consistency and efficiency in service and safety operations.

If the pilot program proves successful, the Company believes the initiative may lead to additional robotics deployments and potential orders across hospitality properties and security operations throughout Las Vegas.

“Robotics is rapidly becoming an important part of our business,” said Mike Fu, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of YY Group Holding Limited. “We have already begun deploying robotics solutions in Malaysia and Singapore, including some of the finest hotels in the world. Given Las Vegas’ position as the entertainment capital of the world, it is a natural next step for us to test our robotics products in this dynamic market. We believe the city provides an ideal environment to demonstrate how robotics can support hospitality operations and enhance security services at scale.”

Las Vegas attracts tens of millions of visitors annually, making it one of the most active hospitality hubs globally. The Company believes robotics may play an increasingly important role in helping hotels and commercial properties support staff, improve operational efficiency, and enhance security coverage.

YY Group expects to provide updates as testing progresses and as additional opportunities for robotics deployment are evaluated.

Lady N Identifies the Missing Piece in the Automatic Litter Box Boom: Machine-Compatible Tofu Litter

ORLANDO, Fla., March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As automatic litter boxes gain traction in the U.S., driven by the rapid growth of the smart pet care market, compatibility challenges around litter performance have emerged as a growing concern.

According to market research from Persistence Market Research and Credence Research, the global smart and automatic cat litter box market is expanding rapidly, with the smart litter box segment projected to grow from approximately USD 1.0 billion in 2024 to over USD 2.1 billion by 2032. This growth reflects rising adoption of self-cleaning systems designed to reduce daily maintenance for pet owners.

However, as more households rely on automated litter boxes, users frequently report maintenance-related issues—such as residue buildup, cleaning inefficiencies, and mechanical interruptions—often linked to the litter used.

Lady N, a Taiwan-born, design- and engineering-driven cat litter brand, is entering the North American market to address this gap by developing tofu cat litter engineered specifically for automatic litter box systems.

Lady N will exhibit at Global Pet Expo 2026 in Orlando, Florida, at Booth 3484, where the team will present its machine-compatible tofu cat litter solutions and meet with retailers, distributors, and OEM partners.

In automated litter box environments, litter performance depends not only on material type but also on how the formulation responds to repeated mechanical cycling. Some conventional formulations—originally designed for manual use—may exhibit dust generation, residue carryover, or liner adhesion under automated conditions.

Consumer feedback across online communities and e-commerce platforms frequently highlights sifting inefficiencies and performance inconsistency tied to particle geometry and flow behavior during cleaning cycles.

To address these system-level bottlenecks, Lady N engineered its tofu litter with a focus on precision particle engineering, optimized flow dynamics, enhanced residue control, and consistent machine cycle performance—supporting reliable operation across major automatic litter box designs.

Since entering North America in 2023, Lady N has demonstrated strong momentum:

  • USD 70,000 in 2023
  • USD 470,000 in 2024
  • USD 1.45 million in 2025
  • Projected USD 4 million in 2026

This growth reflects increasing demand for litter solutions that combine sustainability with true machine compatibility.

To support long-term growth and reduce carbon emissions, Lady N is building a localized U.S. supply chain. A West Coast warehouse in Northern California is already in operation, with an East Coast facility planned to improve nationwide distribution efficiency.

Lady N has selected Dallas, Texas, as the site for its future manufacturing facility and is actively recruiting key leadership roles, including a Plant Manager and HR Manager, to support local job creation.

“Automatic litter boxes are common in U.S. homes, but truly compatible litters are not. Lady N was created to fill this overlooked gap through engineering-driven and sustainable solutions.” said Naimei Hsu, Brand Manager at Lady N.

Retailers, distributors, and OEM partners are invited to meet the Lady N team at Booth 3484 during Global Pet Expo 2026 to explore partnership opportunities.
