Heritage Distilling expands its Story treasury to $320m IP tokens

Heritage Distilling, a Nasdaq-listed craft distillery based in the United States, has successfully added over $320 million in Story token to its treasury.

Summary
  • Nasdaq-listed Heritage Distilling has completed a $223.8 million raise.
  • The company recently bought over 23.5 million Story IP tokens.
  • Heritage holds over 52 million IP tokens worth $320 million as a treasury asset.

Heritage announced the milestone on Aug. 25, with this coming as the digital assets space records a notable surge in public companies with crypto treasury strategies. Story Protocol IP is one of those attracting attention.

The company, known for products such as whiskeys, vodkas, gins, and rums, has completed a $223.8 million private placement with $95 million in cash and $128.8 million in IP tokens.

Story Foundation and a16z crypto, among other top venture capital firms, backed the transaction.

In a double milestone, Heritage also used the offering to clear more than $19 million in debt and future obligations.

How many IP tokens does Heritage hold?

Per details Heritage shared on Aug. 25, the company has grown its IP holdings to over 53.2 million.

As of Aug. 22, Heritage’s Story treasury was worth more than $320 million in IP tokens. The haul includes over 23,529,411 IP tokens acquired at $3.40 per token, which the publicly traded company scooped for $80 million in cash using proceeds from the private placement transaction.

Notably, Story Foundation and Heritage Distilling disclosed a $360 million IP treasury strategy on August 11.

Why is this big for Story?

Heritage plans to tap into its IP tokens for yields via staking. It also intends to support the blockchain protocol’s long-term growth and value.

Story boasts venture capital backing to the tune of $136 million, with prominent players such as Polychain and Samsung Ventures adding to a16z, Hashed, Arrington, and Amber Group. The intellectual property infrastructure platform launched its mainnet in February 2025.

Growth in the tokenized IP space has helped the native token’s value jump from lows of $2.50 in June to highs near $7.00 in August 2025.

UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT

UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT

The post UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has plans to waive some of its rules for cryptocurrency companies, according to a Financial Times (FT) report on Wednesday. However, in another areas the FCA intends to tighten the rules where they pertain to industry-specific risks, such as cyber attacks. The financial watchdog wishes to adapt its existing rules for financial service companies to the unique nature of cryptoassets, the FT reported, citing a consultation paper published Wednesday. “You have to recognize that some of these things are very different,” David Geale, the FCA’s executive director for payments and digital finance, said in an interview, according to the report, adding that a “lift and drop” of existing traditional finance rules would not be effective with crypto. One such area that may be handled differently is the stipulation that a firm “must conduct its business with integrity” and “pay due regard to the interest of its customers and treat them fairly.” Crypto companies would be given less strict requirements than banks or investment platforms on rules concerning senior managers, systems and controls, as cryptocurrency firms “do not typically pose the same level of systemic risk,” the FCA said. Firms would also not have to offer customers a cooling off period due to the voltatile nature of crypto prices, nor would technology be classed as an outsourcing arrangement requiring extra risk management. This is because blockchain technology is often permissionless, meaning anyone can participate without the input of an intermediary. Other areas of crypto regulation remain undecided. The FCA has plans to fully integrate cryptocurrency into its regulatory framework from 2026.
