Mill City Launches $450M Sui Treasury Strategy to Bridge Finance and Blockchain

Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. has announced a $450 million private placement to launch a Sui Treasury Strategy, marking a strategic pivot toward blockchain integration while maintaining its core non-bank lending operations. The initiative channels 98% of the raised funds into SUI tokens, the native asset of the Sui blockchain, which offers rapid transaction finality and scalable infrastructure. The strategy is structured under Regulation D, Rule 506(c), ensuring compliance for accredited and institutional investors [1].

The Sui blockchain’s object-centric model enables parallel processing and sub-second transaction confirmations, differentiating it from older platforms like Ethereum. This architecture, combined with governance tools like TreasuryCap, allows precise token supply management and robust security. Mill City’s allocation to SUI tokens provides daily liquidity exposure through a publicly traded entity—a rarity in crypto treasury strategies [1].

A dual-track capital approach balances innovation with stability: 2% of proceeds will sustain the company’s existing short-term lending and specialty finance operations. This diversification aims to generate steady cash flows while capitalizing on SUI’s growth potential. CEO Marius Barnett and incoming CIO Stephen Mackintosh, who brings expertise in digital assets and AI, emphasized the timing of the move, aligning with institutional crypto adoption trends [1].

Strategic partnerships with London-based Karatage Opportunities, the Sui Foundation, Galaxy Digital, and Pantera Capital have bolstered the initiative. The Sui Foundation’s collaboration grants privileged access to technological developments, positioning Mill City as a rare public company with a directly supported SUI treasury. These alliances combine blockchain expertise with capital resources, reinforcing the strategy’s viability [1].

The Sui Treasury Strategy offers investors enhanced diversification, liquidity, and income streams. Public trading of Mill City shares provides daily liquidity, addressing traditional crypto treasury funds’ illiquidity challenges. Staking rewards and arbitrage opportunities on the Sui blockchain further augment returns. The company’s risk-mitigation framework, balancing legacy finance operations with blockchain assets, aims to optimize risk-adjusted returns [1].

As institutional interest in blockchain accelerates, Mill City’s initiative positions it at the forefront of integrating digital assets into traditional finance. The private placement, expected to close imminently, may set a new standard for treasury management in the blockchain era. This hybrid model underscores a broader trend of merging conventional financial expertise with decentralized infrastructure, offering investors innovation and stability in an evolving market [1].
