Behind the scenes, the companies that last in the Arctic are the ones that do the slow part right. @gl_energy_co moving its drilling timeline to Q4 2027 so the full review can run is the unglamorous version of long-term thinking. $GLND
Encouraging to see this emphasis on patience, transparency and close cooperation with Greenlandic communities and authorities. Keeping people informed and respecting the review process are important parts of building lasting trust. 🔥💪

Behind the scenes, this is the kind of post that matters more than it looks. Direct flights to Ilulissat mean crews, equipment and capital can actually get there. The Greenland story is being built one runway at a time. @gl_energy_co $GLND

Behind the scenes: the Greenland Energy Company team was standing in Nuuk a week before parliament ratified the U.S. security deal. @larryswets and the @GL_Energy_Co crew have the footage. Timing is everything. (Ad)
FOX BUSINESS on GREENLAND DEAL: Greenland's parliament ratifying the security agreement struck back in September, paving the way for more U.S. military bases on the island and the addition of President Trump's Golden Dome defense system.

Six months in as CEO, Michael Edell has SenesTech at a record quarter. His statement to TalkMarkets: "Q3 preliminary revenue surpassed $1 million for the first time, reflecting continued progress across e-commerce, B2B and subscriptions." Six Chicago wards or service areas are ordering Evolve, and a 30%+ shareholder is pushing for sharper marketing and capital discipline. Management says it agrees with much of the letter. @SenesTech @StoryTrading @StoryTrading_IR talkmarkets.com/article/sene… Paid advertising. RetailVolts is compensated by SenesTech, Inc.

Worth noting who's on the Link:NYC stage this week. @Securitize went from BlackRock's BUIDL issuer to 25 tokenized stocks on Solana in under a month, and now they're in the room with @chainlink on interoperability. Tokenization isn't a crypto story anymore. It's a listed-company story. $SECZ
Our Head of Issuer Growth @SecuritizeGiang joined @chainlink at Link:NYC to discuss what comes next as firms scale their tokenization offerings, from liquidity and distribution networks to interoperability across the industry. Tokenize the World.

Quick one from the desk. AMD guided Q4 to $17B. One year ago the whole quarter was $9.2B. Data Center alone is now almost the size of the entire company 12 months back. Gaming down 40% and nobody cares. That tells you where the money is.

Behind the headline: most of the market will skim past a security deal, but this one redraws the map for the Arctic. @larryswets and the team at @GL_Energy_Co have spent all year telling anyone who would listen that Greenland was about to matter. Today it did. Paid promotion. RetailVolts is compensated by Greenland Energy Company. xitter.gq/unusual_whales/status/…
BREAKING: Greenland’s parliament approves a security deal with the United States The trilateral deal paves the way for more U.S. bases in Greenland and eases tensions over Trump’s repeated calls for the vast island to become part of the United States. The agreement’s goal is to bolster the U.S. military presence on Greenland but keep the self-governing island under Danish control. It would still apply if Greenland eventually chooses independence.

Michael Edell took the packing tape away. The SenesTech CEO moved Evolve onto Walmart Fulfillment Services today. Walmart warehouses and ships nationwide, the team keeps its focus on selling. On Walmart Marketplace since December 2024, and Edell says the move is already lifting sales there while lowering costs. @SenesTech senestech.com/pages/press-vi… Paid advertising.

Behind the scenes: Reuters calls Mestersvig a desolate Arctic outpost. @larryswets and CEO Robert Price of @GL_Energy_Co were standing on that coast last week. Now it is likely to host US troops. Robert gave Reuters the quote. Paid advertising. Full details at retailvolts.com/disclaimer
As a new U.S. defense agreement opens the door for potential military and logistical expansions in Greenland at outposts like Mestersvig, the broader region is seeing renewed focus on its economic and operational potential. $GLND CEO Robert Price recently spoke with @Reuters regarding the shifting landscape, noting that any regional infrastructure improvements would be widely welcomed as development moves forward.

🚨 tZERO to go public via FG Imperii SPAC at $350M pre-money. $231M trust. NYSE American listing. Early 2027 close. @tZERO @Alan_Konevsky @larryswets @KyleCerminaraFG xitter.gq/tZERO/status/211725550…
A defining moment for @tZERO. We've announced a proposed transaction with FG Imperii Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: FGII) to become a publicly traded company. tZERO is the original innovator in tokenization infrastructure. With our reset and refocus of the company over the last year, we've been building the regulated technology, infrastructure and market connectivity to power a tokenized financial system. Today, that vision takes a significant step forward. “We have talked about the next phase of tZERO’s evolution requiring a more independent footprint. This transaction delivers that objective, unlocks growth paths and strengthens our ability to scale market infrastructure required for an increasingly tokenized financial system,” said @Alan_Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. Expected ticker: TZRO. As previously mentioned, tZERO will also explore pathways for onchain trading, custody and utility utilization alongside its exchange listing. Full release, important information and forward-looking statements: tzero.com/news/tzero-a-leade…

Behind the deal: tZERO has been building regulated rails for tokenized securities since 2014, back when most of the market called the idea a fad. Twelve years, a broker-dealer licence, an ATS, a transfer agent, a CFTC clearing house and more than 100 patents later, it is going public with FG Imperii Acquisition Corp. Alan Konevsky stays CEO. Larry Swets runs the FG Imperii side, with Tony Scuderi as President. $350 million pre-money, close expected early 2027.

🚨🇺🇸🇬🇱 Trump just posted his vision for Greenland: a GIANT American aircraft carrier, complete with fighter jets, runways and a massive U.S. flag. “WELCOME TO GREENLAND.” Denmark is trying to have a diplomatic conversation while Trump is playing Battleship with an entire country. Subtlety has never really been his thing. Writer: Oliver

Behind the interview: Robert Price of Greenland Energy Company with Mario Nawfal on Greenland oil. The number that stuck with us: breakeven near $25 a barrel from simple onshore wells, against $65 in the Permian. Forty years of waiting, and the first well goes down in 2027. @GL_Energy_Co (Ad)
🇺🇸🇬🇱🇩🇰 Trump just promised “massive” oil drilling in Greenland... and the one company holding the license has been waiting 40 YEARS for this moment While the Strait of Hormuz chokes off barrels by the million, an independent engineering report puts Greenland’s Jameson Land basin at up to 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil, the same size as Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay. Robert Price, chief executive of Greenland Energy, the only company with a grandfathered oil license on the island, says the September security deal with Denmark finally gave investors the certainty they needed: “It allows us to be able to deploy capital for a long period of time, knowing that Greenland is going to be secure.” Robert says ARCO spent a quarter billion dollars mapping the basin in the 1980s; the effort was temporarily suspended only because oil prices crashed. The crude quality matches the North Sea light sweet grade that European refineries already run, and simple onshore vertical wells could put breakeven near $25 a barrel against $65 in the Permian. The first well goes down in 2027. If it hits, Europe gets a supply line with no Hormuz, no Houthis and no Russian pipeline attached, and it’s an American company holding the keys. @GL_Energy_Co Disclaimer: This content was produced in collaboration with the other party and is intended for informational purposes only.
