AMFM (Artistically Made Fashionable Music) Technologies Unveils Next Generation Bold Mini™ and New Artist Ownership Platform Designed in Jacksonville

Culture-tech company introduces a disruptive model for music ownership, artist revenue, and creative entrepreneurship.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AMFM (Artistically Made Fashionable Music) Technologies is introducing the newest evolution of its Bold Mini™ music device and a groundbreaking platform that reimagines how artists distribute and monetize music. Designed in Jacksonville, the company’s innovation positions Northeast Florida as a rising player in the national conversation around culture-tech, creator economies, and next-generation entertainment industries.

Founded by Jacksonville leaders in music, education, and creative strategy, AMFM is building a system where artists and fans participate in a new ownership-based digital economy—rather than relying solely on traditional streaming platforms.

A New Creative-Commerce Infrastructure

AMFM’s expanded ecosystem allows artists to sell music directly to fans, offer limited-edition collectible SD card releases, and earn through an affiliate-driven model tied to Bold Mini™ device sales and digital downloads.

The company is also introducing the Artist Ownership Movement™, a commerce-focused platform designed to help independent creators generate sustainable revenue while maintaining full control of their intellectual property.

“We’re creating a modern pathway for how artists earn and how music is valued in today’s economy,” said Troy McNair Sr., Chief Strategy & Impact Officer at AMFM Technologies. “This strengthens not just creators, but the ecosystem of innovation we’re building here in Jacksonville.”

The Bold Mini™: A Culture-Tech Device Designed in Jacksonville

The updated Bold Mini™ functions as a compact, high-design music player combining nostalgia with modern performance. Its features include:

  • Offline listening and real file ownership
  • USB-C seamless uploads
  • High-fidelity sound
  • SD Card Collector Drops with exclusive artist content
  • Video, radio, recorder, and e-book capabilities
  • Custom artist editions and branded collaborations

The device is engineered as both a functional tool and a cultural artifact—expanding the creative economy beyond digital-only models.

SD Card Collector Editions™ Elevate Music into a Physical-Digital Hybrid Product

Artists partnering with AMFM can release curated SD card collections featuring:

  • Albums
  • Bonus tracks
  • Visual content
  • Exclusive audio notes
  • Digital booklets
  • Branded packaging

These Collector Drops tap into the resurgence of physical media while utilizing modern technology to offer fans a new form of ownership and engagement.

A Step Forward for Jacksonville’s Innovation Sector

AMFM’s expansion reinforces Jacksonville’s reputation as a region where creative industries, technology, and entrepreneurship converge. The company’s work aligns with broader citywide efforts to attract talent, elevate cultural infrastructure, and grow the local economy through innovation-driven enterprises.

“This is designed for creators everywhere, but its roots are in Jacksonville’s unique blend of culture and innovation,” said Maurice “Mo” Henderson, Chief Vision & Innovation Officer at AMFM Technologies. “We’re proud to contribute to the creative and entrepreneurial momentum happening across the city.”

Positioning Jacksonville as a Culture-Tech Capital

With its hybrid model—combining hardware, software, intellectual property, and cultural relevance—AMFM is helping expand Jacksonville’s presence in the national conversation around creator-focused technology and entertainment innovation.

The company anticipates partnerships with artists, educators, entrepreneurs, and cultural institutions that share the vision of elevating ownership, access, and creative empowerment.

For Artists, Creators, and Partners

AMFM invites artists, music professionals, and creative organizations to explore opportunities within the Artist Ownership Movement™ and the Bold Mini™ ecosystem.

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Eric Trump on Tuesday described Bitcoin as a “modern-day gold,” calling it a liquid store of value that can act as a hedge to real estate and other assets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to reports, the remark came during a TV appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, tied to the launch of American Bitcoin, the mining and treasury firm he helped start. Company Holdings And Strategy Based on public filings and company summaries, American Bitcoin has accumulated 2,443 BTC on its balance sheet. That stash has been valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars at recent spot prices. The firm mixes large-scale mining with the goal of holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, which it says will help it grow both production and asset holdings over time. Eric Trump’s comments were direct. He told viewers that institutions are treating Bitcoin more like a store of value than a fringe idea, and he warned firms that resist blockchain adoption. The tone was strong at times, and the line about Bitcoin being a modern equivalent of gold was used to frame American Bitcoin’s role as both miner and holder.   Eric Trump has said: bitcoin is modern-day gold — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 16, 2025 How The Company Went Public American Bitcoin moved toward a public listing via an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining earlier this year, a deal that kept most of the original shareholders in control and positioned the new entity for a Nasdaq debut. Reports show that mining partner Hut 8 holds a large ownership stake, leaving the Trump family and other backers with a minority share. The listing brought fresh attention and capital to the firm as it began trading under the ticker ABTC. Market watchers say the firm’s public debut highlights two trends: mining companies are trying to grow by both producing and holding Bitcoin, and political ties are bringing more headlines to crypto firms. Some analysts point out that holding large amounts of Bitcoin on the balance sheet exposes a company to price swings, while supporters argue it aligns incentives between miners and investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Bulls Target $8,500 With Big Money Backing The Move – Details Reaction And Possible Risks Based on coverage of the launch, investors have reacted with both enthusiasm and caution. Supporters praise the prospect of a US-based miner that aims to be transparent and aggressive about building a reserve. Critics point to governance questions, possible conflicts tied to high-profile backers, and the usual risks of a volatile asset being held on corporate balance sheets. Eric Trump’s remark that Bitcoin has taken gold’s role in today’s world reflects both his belief in its value and American Bitcoin’s strategy of mining and holding. Whether that view sticks will depend on how investors and institutions respond in the months ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline

DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline

The post DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) has struggled to gain momentum despite excitement surrounding the anticipated launch of a US-listed Dogecoin ETF this week. On-chain data reveals a decline in whale participation and a general uptick in coin selloffs across exchanges, hinting at the possibility of a deeper price pullback in the coming days. Sponsored Sponsored DOGE Faces Decline as Whales Hold Back, Traders Sell The market is anticipating the launch of Rex-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) tomorrow, which is expected to give traditional investors direct exposure to Dogecoin’s price movements.  However, DOGE’s price performance has remained muted ahead of the milestone, signaling a lack of enthusiasm from traders. According to on-chain analytics platform Nansen, whale accumulation has slowed notably over the past week. Large investors, with wallets containing DOGE coins worth more than $1 million, appear unconvinced by the ETF narrative and have reduced their holdings by over 4% in the past week.  For token TA and market updates: Want more token insights like this?

This reduced DOGE demand from significant players can lead to decreased buying pressure, potentially resulting in price stagnation or declines in the near term.
