Siebert Financial Secures $100M to Fuel AI and Crypto Expansion

Siebert Financial Corp. can now raise up to $100 million by selling different types of financial products, as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved its plan, called a shelf registration statement. This approval will provide them more flexibility with their money.

This money will help Siebert follow big plans for the future. The firm wants to buy other companies that are investing in new technologies like AI (artificial intelligence). The firm also aims to buy digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. This shows Siebert’s aim to set its focus on using modern tools, like blockchain technology.

As per the reports , John J. Gebbia, the CEO of Siebert Financial, has stated the registration is a cornerstone for scaling the company’s tech strategy. “We’re creating the additional capital access needed to move decisively in key areas like AI, digital assets, and innovation that will define the future of financial services,” he said. 

Andrew Reich, Siebert Financial’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “This filing gives us the optionality to invest in next-generation technologies and support long-term growth for our shareholders.” This means they can use the money to invest in exciting new technologies that will benefit everyone who owns a part of the company.

The firm has a proud history. A major moment was in the year 1967 when Muriel Siebert became the first woman to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Today, Siebert runs several smaller companies that offer many services, like helping people buy and sell stocks, providing insurance, and even making media content. 

This new plan of the firm aims to make it a leader in the changing world of finance. The financial community will be watching to see how Siebert fosters innovation and growth. However, Siebert has stated that things like economic problems or new rules could affect how well the firm’s plan would work.
