During the investment period, Oasis has actively engaged with DG's management team with the goal of enhancing DG's corporate value.
Recently, Oasis received a proposal from Resona HD to acquire Oasis's stake in DG, and Oasis has agreed to proceed with the Transaction. Resona HD is already in a capital and business alliance with DG, including joint initiatives to build a sales framework in the payment business. Through this additional acquisition of shares, Resona HD aims to deepen the existing partnership and further strengthen collaboration in the payment business as part of its broader efforts to enhance corporate value for both parties.

Bakkt Expands Global Bitcoin Play With 30% Stake in Japan's Marusho Hotta
Amid a sea of new crypto treasury companies popping up, Bakkt and BitBridge are in the news today, after they both provided updates on their bitcoin treasury strategies. Bakkt (BKKT), the technology firm that went all-in on crypto, has signed a deal to acquire nearly one-third of Japanese trading company Marusho Hotta (8105), in a move that could signal a broader international bitcoin (BTC) strategy for the U.S.-based digital asset platform, the company said in a press release Wednesday. Under the agreement with RIZAP Group Inc., Bakkt will acquire roughly 30% of the Tokyo-listed company, positioning itself as Marusho Hotta's largest shareholder. Pending shareholder approval, Marusho Hotta will be renamed aligning its brand with its new bitcoin-centric direction, the company said. Bakkt has also secured the domain as part of the deal. In a strategic leadership shift, Phillip Lord, President of Bakkt International, will take over as CEO of Marusho Hotta. Meanwhile, bitcoin treasury firm BitBridge Capital Strategies has completed its merger with Green Mountain Merger Inc., the company said in a press release yesterday. The company will start trading under the ticker symbol BTTL on the over-the-counter (OTC) markets by the end of the third quarter, with plans to uplist to NASDAQ thereafter.

US Marines Deploy Own 'Narco-Boats' Near China
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The United States will extend the deployment of an unmanned logistics vessel inspired by "narco-boats" used by South American cartels to smuggle drugs indefinitely on a Japanese outlying island near China, the Marine Corps confirmed to Newsweek on Wednesday. The U.S. III Marine Expeditionary Force based on Okinawa Island in Japan's southwestern waters said it is continuing its evaluation and integration of the Autonomous Low-Profile Vessel (ALPV) for operating in "challenging, contested, and complex environments." Newsweek reached out to the Chinese defense and foreign ministries via email for comment. Why It Matters Japan, a key U.S. security ally in the Western Pacific, forms part of the First Island Chain along with Taiwan and the Philippines under America's maritime containment strategy, which seeks to restrict China's military activities within its nearby waters in the event of war. China's rapid military buildup, including the growth of its missile arsenal and the expansion of its naval presence, is viewed by Japan as "the greatest strategic challenge," as Tokyo's security largely depends on the 55,000 U.S. military personnel stationed in the country. As part of the most capable U.S. military units deployed in the Indo-Pacific, the deployment of the ALPV and other autonomous capabilities aligns with the U.S. Marine Corps' operating concepts, which aim to enhance sustainment and operational reach in the contested region. What To Know The change to the ALPV's deployment schedule was first reported by Japanese media on Tuesday, stating that the drone vessel, initially deployed temporarily to Okinawa last October, will remain on the island indefinitely, beyond its original end-of-month deadline. United States Marines operate an Autonomous Low-Profile Vessel at Naha Military Port in Okinawa, Japan, on January 17, 2025.

Rodney Frye/U.S. Marine Corps The 62-foot-long and 8.2-foot-wide ALPV has a payload capacity of up to five tons and a range of 2,300 miles, according to its Virginia-based manufacturer, Leidos. It features a design with a "low-to-the-water visual profile" that reduces its probability of detection. Cartels in South America have widely deployed low-profile vessels, including the so-called "narco-submarines," for drug smuggling operations to other regions, as these vessels can evade detection by riding low in the water, according to naval warfare expert H.I. Sutton. The ALPV is a long-range, semi-submersible autonomous logistics delivery system for the U.S. Marine Corps, capable of transporting supplies such as food, water, fuel, ammunition, medical supplies, and repair parts, as well as other equipment throughout the littorals. The employment of the ALPV will enhance training, readiness, and the sustainment of distributed maritime forces, the III Marine Expeditionary Force told Newsweek. Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) is one of the U.S. Marine Corps' key operating concepts amid China's growing military threat. It calls for dispersing units over a wide area to make them harder to detect and target, while increasing the use of unmanned vessels. This autonomous capability enables the U.S. Marine Corps to sustain forces without relying on traditional resupply methods, which may be vulnerable in a contested environment, a Marine said in February after training with the ALPV at Naha Military Port in Okinawa. Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) is another U.S. Marine Corps operating concept that may benefit from the use of uncrewed logistics vessels. It calls for deploying expeditionary forces from austere, temporary locations within a contested maritime area.

Rodney Frye/U.S. Marine Corps What People Are Saying The U.S. III Marine Expeditionary Force told Newsweek: "The ALPV will remain in Okinawa indefinitely and [III Marine Expeditionary Force] will continue working closely with the Government of Japan, Ministry of Defense, and prefectural authorities to ensure all activities are conducted safely and responsibly." U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a press conference with Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani in Tokyo on March 29: "America's warriors stand shoulder to shoulder every day with their Japan Self Defense Force counterparts. Our forces operate and train together across all domains to uphold deterrence. America and Japan stand firmly together in the face of aggressive and coercive actions by the Communist Chinese." What Happens Next It remains to be seen whether the Pentagon will deploy additional advanced capabilities in the Western Pacific. A U.S. Army land-based missile system is stationed indefinitely in the Philippines near the South China Sea—a move China has denounced as "highly dangerous."

This year's lineup includes experts from FedEx, Meta, GXO, UPS Airlines, Emirates SkyCargo, Genuine Parts Company, Boeing Global Services, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).

Air Transport: This interactive session will explore the unique pressures for DG air transport and its impact on both packages and passengers. Hazmat Logistics: Every day, packages are over-labeled, over-packaged, and over-regulated, driving up costs and slowing down supply chains. This session will explore how to use exceptions to simplify DG shipping and save money.
