With Anixa’s strong balance sheet and excess cash, this strategic decision aims to diversify the Company’s treasury holdings while positioning Anixa to benefit from the potential long-term value of digital assets.

The Company also reaffirmed its ongoing stock buyback program as part of its commitment to enhancing shareholder value.

“We are pleased to add this asset class as an investment option for us. We are thrilled that both of our clinical trials—a breast cancer vaccine (NCT04674306), and an ovarian cancer therapy treating recurrent and resistant patients (NCT05316129)—have produced results that have exceeded our expectations. We are proud of our strategy to move our trials forward, while burning relatively low levels of cash. Our decision about Bitcoin is an additional approach to prudent financial management, enabling greater shareholder value,” said Dr. Amit Kumar, CEO of Anixa.

“As we continue to execute on our mission of advancing life-changing cancer therapies, we are also focused on creating long-term financial value for our shareholders,” said Mike Catelani, President and CFO of Anixa. “With Bitcoin‘s growing recognition as a mainstream asset class, we believe it represents a valuable addition to our treasury reserve strategy. The approval of Bitcoin ETFs and increasing participation from institutional investors highlight its rising importance in global markets. Its unique inflation-resistant qualities and potential as a reliable store of value aligns with our goal of optimizing long-term financial stability and growth. Combined with our stock buyback program, this initiative reflects our confidence in the Company’s growth trajectory and our dedication to delivering shareholder returns.”

Project Liberty, Consensys, and Frequency Network Foundation Announce Major Partnership to Develop Internet Infrastructure that Prioritizes Digital Freedoms

Written by CryptoCurrencyNews on November 21, 2024. Posted in Cryptocurrency.

The teams are working together to establish an internet built on the principles of user control, digital sovereignty, and community-driven governance.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Project Liberty, an organization helping people to take back control of their digital lives by reclaiming a voice, choice, and stake in a better internet; Consensys, the leading blockchain and Web3 software company; and the Frequency Network Foundation, an organization dedicated to development, support, and growth of the Frequency blockchain and ecosystem, announced a partnership to develop infrastructure for a more people-centered internet.

Through this alliance, these three organizations will collaborate on multiple technical integrations with the goal of expanding interoperability and scalability. Aligned in their mission to offer an upgraded internet, the collaboration intends to return agency to individuals, prevent their data from being parceled off, tracked, and sold; and enable individuals to take back control of their online sovereignty from Big Tech.

This collaboration will facilitate Frequency’s expansion into the Ethereum ecosystem and EVM compatibility making use of Consensys’ technology. Specifically, joint development teams are investigating leveraging the technology stack of Linea, the zkEVM Layer 2 network empowering the world to live onchain. Dedicated teams are also exploring “EVM based” Frequency integration with MetaMask, the self-custodial digital wallet and Web3 gateway developed by Consensys, to bring a broader range of social capabilities to the wider Web3 community. Anchored by Project Liberty’s dedication to digital democracy, the collaboration aims to initiate a new era for the digital world: one rooted in freedom, privacy, and community. It’s a revolutionary vision that shifts the power dynamics of the internet as we know it.

At the heart of this initiative is the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), an open data standard that allows for secure, user-centered data interoperability. Frequency is a DSNP-compliant blockchain that makes it possible for users to carry their digital identities and data across platforms, without surrendering control to one specific platform. In a Frequency-powered world, individuals are not bound to a single platform but can navigate the web freely and securely, maintaining complete autonomy over their online personas across multiple platforms.

A Vision for Digital Democracy

For Project Liberty, this partnership is more than a technological shift; it’s part of a broader digital renaissance. Project Liberty was born from a belief that the internet should serve as a public good, a place where people can express themselves freely, connect without fear, and exercise autonomy over their personal data. Through this alliance with Project Liberty, Consensys and the Frequency Network Foundation, that vision is coming to life.

“We’re at a tipping point for the future of the internet,” said Frank McCourt, Founder of Project Liberty. “With Consensys and the Frequency Network Foundation, we’re building an internet that empowers people. This is evidence that we are no longer allowing a handful of companies to continue exploiting and controlling our digital lives, instead we are providing a solution that gives people back their agency and a true stake in the digital ecosystem.”

“Our social graphs in the Web3 era will be a profound extension and expression of our identities, interests, and ultimately our reputations,” said Joe Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and CEO and Founder of Consensys. “The Web3 generation of social networking will put the user at the center, giving them full control and ownership of the core elements of their life. We are excited to collaborate with Project Liberty and the Frequency Network Foundation to drive this vision”.

Additionally, by collaborating with Consensys to expand into the Ethereum ecosystem, Project Liberty and the Frequency Network Foundation aim to bring the benefits of data ownership and transparent digital governance to a growing number of online citizens who want to reclaim a voice, choice, and stake in a better internet.

About Project Liberty
Project Liberty is leading the movement to give people back control of their lives in the digital age by ensuring they have a voice, choice, and stake in a better internet. Started in 2019 and publicly launched in 2021 by civic entrepreneur Frank McCourt and supported by a $500-million commitment, Project Liberty includes the work of the Project Liberty Institute—a 501(c)(3) with an international partner network that includes Georgetown University, Stanford University, ETH in Zurich, and other leading academic institutions and civic organizations—and a technological team that is focused on developing the next generation of digital infrastructure. Project Liberty’s activities include the release of the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), which is stewarded by the Institute and available as a public utility to serve as the bedrock of a more equitable web and support a new era of innovation that empowers people over platforms and serves the common good.

About Consensys
Consensys is the leading blockchain and web3 software company. Since 2014, Consensys has been at the forefront of innovation, pioneering technological developments within the web3 ecosystem.

This implementation of DSNP is aligned with Project Liberty’s mission to give people control over their digital lives while fostering innovation in decentralized technology.
