Sohar International to open Hong Kong office
Sohar International Bank, Oman’s second-biggest bank by assets, has received approval from the country’s central bank to open a representative office in Hong Kong.
The approval was received on December 25, the lender said in a statement to the Muscat stock exchange on Sunday.
“The central bank’s approval is subject to receiving all necessary approvals, licenses, and clearances from the relevant authorities in Hong Kong and compliance with the applicable laws in both Hong Kong and Oman,” it said in a statement.
In September Sohar International Bank said the move to open a representative office in either Hong Kong or China aimed to strengthen its and Oman’s presence in global financial markets.
The bank reported a net profit of OMR71 million ($185 million) from January to September, a 7 percent year-on-year decline.
Listed on the Muscat Securities Market since December 2024, the lender’s share closed of OMR0.165 has risen 24 percent in the last year.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference
The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town. From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world. Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us. Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak. “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.” We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
