CaliberCos Inc. (CWD)

This rise came after the company announced significant capital initiatives to support its digital asset treasury strategy.

The company revealed it closed a $15.9 million preferred equity deal and launched an At-The-Market (ATM) equity program. These moves provided immediate and flexible funding options while positioning Caliber to execute its strategic initiatives further. Market response was swift, as reflected in the stock’s early surge before cooling off midday.

Trading activity accelerated following the update, indicating market attention on the company’s continued expansion in real and digital assets. The broader context behind the spike stems from Caliber’s move to expand its capital base for both traditional and blockchain-linked growth. The company is known for integrating real estate management with blockchain-based asset strategies, particularly involving Chainlink (LINK).

$15.9 Million Preferred Equity Deal Boosts Capital Flexibility

Caliber completed the sale of 15,868 shares of Series B Preferred Stock priced at $1,000 each, raising $15.9 million in gross proceeds. The preferred shares are perpetual and convertible into common stock at a rate of $250 per share, giving long-term optionality. These shares hold no voting rights or dividends but are senior to common equity, and junior only to existing Series A and AA preferred shares.

By issuing a security with no yield obligation, Caliber reduced financial pressure while enhancing future equity conversion potential. The conversion price stands well above the current market, underscoring long-term shareholder value targets. This structure allows capital infusion without immediate dilution while maintaining upside alignment with strategic growth.

The structure appeals to backers focused on potential returns from Caliber’s dual asset focus in real estate and blockchain. It also reflects increased confidence in the company’s business model and capital discipline. The capital will help fuel its Chainlink-linked digital asset treasury (DAT) initiative and other expansion goals.

ATM Equity Program Adds Additional Funding Mechanism

Caliber activated an At-The-Market (ATM) program under its $50 million shelf registration. The ATM initially allows up to $10.3 million in share sales to be executed opportunistically at prevailing market prices. This provides Caliber with ongoing access to capital for growth initiatives.

Lafferty & Co. will serve as lead sales agent while Benchmark Company joins as co-manager for the ATM program. With flexible share issuance, Caliber can raise funds based on market conditions, enhancing capital agility. This complements the preferred equity deal by supporting broader strategic flexibility.

The ATM proceeds may also support continued LINK token accumulation under the company’s digital asset treasury program. As the first Nasdaq firm to declare a Chainlink-based treasury model, Caliber continues aligning digital infrastructure with traditional investment strategies. These steps aim to build a stronger balance sheet and long-term shareholder exposure to blockchain assets.

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!
