PH Plus and Bluegrace Energy Bolivia Accelerate Expansion with Bold Capital, Strategic Deals, and Sustainability Focus
From Florida to new U.S. regions and beyond, PH Plus advances with Bluegrace backing, eco-driven innovation, and scalable market momentum.
LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, May 6, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- PH Plus, a premium alkaline water brand headquartered in Miami, Florida, continues to make steady strides in its growth journey. With over a decade of experience in the production and distribution of high-quality alkaline water throughout the United States and Latin America, PH Plus has built a solid foundation rooted in wellness, sustainability, and innovation.
As part of its measured expansion strategy, PH Plus has successfully closed its first round of sales with the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, marking a meaningful milestone in the company's outreach within indigenous communities. These early successes are further underscored by ongoing conversations with the Cherokee, Seminole, and other tribal nations, reflecting the brand's commitment to building respectful and mutually beneficial partnerships.
While PH Plus has primarily focused its distribution within the state of Florida, the brand is now strategically positioning itself to expand across additional regions of the United States. With a growing interest from health-conscious consumers and wellness-focused businesses, PH Plus is exploring opportunities in both urban and rural markets nationwide, aiming to make its signature alkaline water more accessible to a wider audience.
In parallel with its commercial expansion, PH Plus is also making strategic moves on the global marketing stage. Earlier this year, PH Plus and BlueGrace Energy Bolivia (BGEB) announced a high-impact partnership with the Fittipaldi family, naming two-time Formula 1 World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi as Global Brand Ambassador. As part of this alliance, Emmo Fittipaldi—the rising star and son of Emerson—is competing in the 2025 EuroCup-3 Championship under the sponsorship of PH Plus and BGEB. The upcoming race at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, scheduled for May 16–18, will mark a major visibility milestone for the brand, with full PH Plus and BGEB branding featured on Emmo's car, race suit, and team materials. This collaboration connects elite motorsport with eco-conscious hydration and carbon-neutral financing, ushering in a bold new narrative where performance meets sustainability.
This expansion is supported not only by the product's health and environmental credentials but also by PH Plus's strong marketing appeal. The company offers custom-branded and co-branded packaging solutions that allow partners to seamlessly integrate their own identity into a wellness-focused product. From elegant bottle designs to aluminum can options with QR code integration for digital engagement, PH Plus provides businesses and organizations with a compelling way to enhance customer experience while aligning with modern health and sustainability trends. This combination of premium product and tailored branding makes PH Plus a valuable partner for restaurants, cafés, spas, fitness centers, and retail chains seeking to stand out in a competitive market.
Backing this momentum is a decisive move by Bluegrace Energy Bolivia, which is in the final stages of acquiring a significant equity stake in PH Plus. Notably, this acquisition will be executed through the BG Amazon Token (BGACT) —a blockchain-based token fully backed by real and verifiable forest conservation assets. BGACT is currently listed and tradeable on NeXchange, a regulated digital platform specializing in ISIN-backed carbon assets, ensuring full transparency, traceability, and performance validation.
Known for its leadership in sustainability-driven projects across Latin America, Bluegrace aims to inject strategic resources and eco-aligned capital to accelerate PH Plus's national distribution capabilities and lay the groundwork for global expansion. This vision goes beyond beverage sales—it's about scaling a wellness-focused, environmentally responsible brand that speaks to the priorities of today's conscious consumers. With a powerful combination of innovative finance, strategic networks, and operational readiness, Bluegrace is positioned to elevate PH Plus into its next phase of scalable, sustainable growth.
With this alignment of vision, values, and resources, PH Plus is not just growing—it is evolving into a symbol of next-generation wellness and sustainable enterprise.
'At PH Plus, we believe in more than hydration; we believe in delivering a lifestyle that promotes wellness, sustainability, and partnership. This next chapter, supported by Bluegrace Energy Bolivia, represents a bold yet thoughtful step toward expanding our mission and impact,' said Álvaro de Castro, CEO of PH Plus Water. 'Together, we are laying the foundation for a brand that brings value not just to consumers, but to communities, businesses, and the planet.'

Hedge Funds Face California Rebuke Over Role in Wildfire Claims
(Bloomberg) -- Hedge funds are facing pushback in California as their bets tied to insurance claims stemming from the Los Angeles wildfires are attacked as unethical. Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga! Where Public Transit Systems Are Bouncing Back Around the World ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract Trump Said He Fired the National Portrait Gallery Director. She's Still There. US Housing Agency Vulnerable to Fraud After DOGE Cuts, Documents Warn The transactions in focus are tied to so-called subrogation claims, which hedge funds, private equity firms and other alternative investment managers have been buying from insurers over the past few months. Subrogation kicks in if a third party such as a utility is suspected of being responsible for losses covered by insurers. Hedge funds buying these claims from insurers are now under attack from the California Earthquake Authority, which is the administrator of the California Wildfire Fund. It has described such transactions as 'opportunistic, profit-driven investment speculation,' and says it's planning to take on 'hedge funds and other speculators' that it claims 'are actively seeking to profit from California's devastating wildfire catastrophes.' In practice, that means the authority will try to block the payout of what it says could end up being 'billions of dollars' to the investors that bought the claims, according to materials prepared ahead of a meeting that took place last month with the California Catastrophe Response Council, which oversees the fund. To that end, it plans to engage California's state legislature, according to a transcript of comments made during the meeting and seen by Bloomberg. A spokesperson for the authority declined to comment. Bradley Max, a director at Cherokee Acquisition, a New York-based investment bank that trades and invests in subrogation claims, says the development has 'put a chill on bidding,' which is already visible in pricing. Subrogation rights tied to the Eaton Fire that ripped through Southern California in January were trading as high as 50 cents on the dollar at one point, but have now dropped 'at least a few points lower,' Max said. Still, even though the political development has led to lower prices on the subrogation claims, it hasn't held back transactions, he said. Cherokee said in April it had brokered deals linked to the Los Angeles fires for 'larger, more sophisticated distressed debt hedge funds.' And by April 15, investment bank Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. had executed 10 transactions tied to the Eaton and Palisades fires totaling over $1 billion worth of recovery rights, Ronald Ryder, co-head of special assets at Oppenheimer, told the California Earthquake Authority. That includes over $125 million in claims traded in just one day, Ryder wrote. A spokesperson for Oppenheimer declined to comment. Cherokee didn't name the hedge funds for which it brokered deals. In an email to the California Earthquake Authority, Ryder said that as catastrophic weather events become 'more prevalent,' insurers are increasingly resorting to 'recovery subrogation in the secondary market to fortify the balance sheet.' There's a growing consensus that insurers can't cover the rising costs of weather-related catastrophes alone, especially as climate change fuels more extreme events. For that reason, the industry is looking for ways to shift part of its financial risk over to capital markets, with alternative asset managers often the only investor class willing to step in. Efforts to prevent investors from profiting from the subrogation claims they've bought represent 'a politically motivated attempt to not pay legitimate obligations,' Max at Cherokee said. They're 'trying to beat up deep-pocketed hedge funds, despite the ethical and legal implications,' he said. Recovery of subrogation claims is costly and can take years to play out, which is why insurers have started selling them in exchange for an upfront cash payment. The hedge funds buying them are betting that the recovery sum at the end of the process will exceed the amount they paid the insurer to buy the claim. The market for investing in subrogation claims is characterized by over-the-counter deals with little to no transparency. Subrogation deals had a seminal moment more than half a decade ago, when faulty power lines and equipment failures at California utility PG&E Corp. were blamed for wildfires in the state. Back then, hedge fund Baupost Group LLC purchased claims against PG&E worth $6.8 billion. Bloomberg has previously reported that Baupost may have generated an estimated $1 billion of profits. The California Wildfire Fund, which is administered by the state's Earthquake Authority and overseen by the California Catastrophe Response Council, was set up in 2019 to help reimburse claims arising from wildfires caused by utility companies. If hedge funds prevail in their subrogation claims, some of the money could end up coming from the California Wildfire Fund. The fund, which sits on about $13 billion in liquid assets, is partly capitalized by three utilities — San Diego Gas & Electric Co., Edison International's Southern California Edison and PG&E. While the cause of the January fires remains under investigation, it's already clear that the Eaton Fire started inside the service territory of Edison and therefore leaves the fund potentially exposed, the authority said. With current estimates for insured losses as high as $45 billion, the January Southern California wildfires are expected to be the costliest in US history, according to the California Earthquake Authority. The Earthquake Authority and Catastrophe Response Council are now reviewing claims and administration procedures as they take the matter to the state legislature.

Thanks to tariffs, toys could be scarce for Christmas
Tariffs are already affecting the toy industry, with deadlines for Christmas deliveries closing for toy companies scrambling to get in orders during the pause on higher tariffs. In an interview with ABC News June 1, James Zahn, editor-in-chief of The Toy Book, a magazine reporting on the toy industry, said the morning of the tariff pause, toy industry folks str trying to start up their manufacturing lines or racing for container space. "The biggest thing right now is getting the product into the U.S. in a timely manner, because we are already racing against the clock," Zahn said. The toy industry operates on strict dates and deadlines and all the uncertainty has created a logistical nightmare, said reporter Melanie Hastings in that ABC report. "In March, the tariffs went to 245%, and now is down to 30%, but industry leaders are saying that is still too high," Hastings reported. Claire Huber, spokesperson for the U.S. International Trade Commission said an analysis of 2024 data showed 78.3% of toy imports and 85% of Christmas-related imports, such as lights, trees and decorations, are manufactured in China. Little Buster Toys, in Pryor, manufacture their products overseas and have been impacted by the tariffs. Lisa Rickman bought the company about eight years ago from the original manufacturer. That manufacturer, who started up the company 15 years before Rickman bought it, produced the products in the U.S. for about a year before sending it overseas due to cost and quality issues. "We manufacture overseas and we are impacted by the tariffs as well," Rickman said. "We were impacted by the first at 20% tariff, and we are now hit by 30% tariff, and we cancelled orders or had orders on hold when it was [over 100]%." Even though it is a small, family owned company, Little Buster Toys fall within that tariff zone. "Even if they are companies manufacturing in the U.S., very few will not be burdened by tariffs on parts and materials used for production and assembly lines," Rickman said. In Tahlequah, there are few options for toys except Walmart and Walgreens. Neither company had responded by press time to queries on the shipping situation with toys for Christmas. A couple of local gift shops offer a small selection of toys. At The Mustard Seed, one section offers toys for small children. One line of stuff toys, Mary Meyer, has tags stating the line started being manufactured in the hills of Vermont in 1933. According to a spokesperson for the company, that hasn't been true for a long time. At the John Hair Cultural Center and Keetoowah Museum, Raelie Grayson talked about some options for products locally made to bridge the problem parents might face at Christmas. A game created by a Keetoowah artist, John Tanner, is one possibility. "It's a ring toss game and you use round rubbers rings like those used in canning, and each hook is labeled by the phonetic spelling of a Cherokee word," Grayson said. A corn doll husk kit is a fun activity, and there are small stuffed animals which corresponds to characters in a book of Keetoowah Cherokee stories. The book is "Keetoowah Animal Storybook," by Kyndal Aimerson and illustrated by Teala Wildcat-Johnson. The stuffed toys come from Stuffed Safari, a company in Springfield, Illinois. "We pull from different manufacturers: Aurora World Plushies and Toys, Wild Republic, Hansa Toys, Solknais Stage Puppets, Gund, Warmies, Wildlife Artists Stuffed Animals, Nat and Jules - Demdaco," said a spokesman for Stuffed Safari. "They all produce their toys overseas." The spokesperson was unable to speak to the issues of tariffs and the effects on the supply and cost of their products. Handmade fabric dolls by Donna Budds are available at the museum gift shop, too, and small blowguns about 2 feet long made from river cane. "We have a blowgun model which can actually be used as a blowgun," Grayson said. "Back in the traditional days pre-Colonial times, this would be considered a boy's first toy and to teach them how to hunt with it," Grayson said. "As he grew older the blowgun would gradually get bigger." The Cherokee Nation Gift Shop has several options for cultural toys. Dianne Pruitt said Tommy Wildcat's flutes are good gifts for kids and adults learning how to play. This shop also sells blowguns, both small and much longer, made by Steve Daugherty and Lucas Wildcat. The shop features a large assortment of cultural books, all published by U.S. publishing companies like Oklahoma University Press and University of New Mexico Press. The OUP in Norman prints its books in the U.S. "We do not do our own printing; few, if any, book publishers do. We work with a variety of U.S. printers for most of our paperbacks and hardcovers," said Stephen Hull, director of UNMP. "For certain color-critical art books, we work with a broker to find a printer in Asia." He said the quality is on par with domestic, but costs less, and tends to outweigh the increased time in transit. "But for all but a few books a year, we print domestically," Hull said. One book at the CN gift shop is "Rabbit Plants the Forest," by Deborah L. Duvall and illustrated by the late Murv Jacob. "'Rabbit Plants the Forest' is an adventure story based on characters from Cherokee tradition, including Ji-Stu – Rabbit, and his friends Otter, Sa-lo-li – Squirrel, and the mysterious Wampus Cat," states the Amazon description of the book. Other items include coloring books with Native themes, and dolls made from pantyhose by Margaret Flanagan. A selection of blocks featuring the letters of the Cherokee syllabary, handmade by "Uncle Goose," are part of the options for parents in this gift shop.

Part of Luke Clanton's prep? Deep Dark Meditation — and it seems to be working
Part of Luke Clanton's prep? Deep Dark Meditation — and it seems to be working When Luke Clanton opened his professional debut Thursday at the RBC Canadian Open in Caledon, Ontario, with bogeys on two of the first three holes, it wasn't exactly how he drew it up. That's because Clanton, 21, practices Deep Dark Meditation for 40 minutes before every round. Asked if he meditated in the shower before his round with Masters champion and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy and Swedish rising star Ludvig Aberg, ranked No. 8, Clanton responded, 'Yeah, I did, yeah. I can't believe that's getting out, but yeah, I did.' Clanton rallied from his slow start on Thursday to make an eagle at 18, his ninth hole of the day, and shoot even-par 70 at TPC Toronto's Osprey Valley (North Course). Clanton, who just completed his junior season at Florida State, secured his 20th point and PGA Tour membership through PGA Tour University Accelerated Program following a made cut at the Cognizant Classic in March. He also earned exempt status through 2026. Clanton notched four PGA Tour top-10 finishes in 2024, including two runner-up finishes, becoming the first amateur since Jack Nicklaus in 1961 with three or more top-10 finishes on Tour in a year. He capped off his time as a Seminole as the top-ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings with seven individual collegiate titles, including four this season, and was named the recipient of the 2025 Ben Hogan Award, one of three player of the year awards in college golf. How did Clanton become a regular practitioner of Deep Dark Meditation? 'I've kind of struggled with kind of settling into the moment a lot. I guess about seven months ago I was like, you know what, I'm just going to turn off all the lights and kind of get into the zone. It's been working, so I think I'm going to keep doing it.' 'I try to keep my eyes open as much as I can, so my eyes start to hallucinate,' he told The Athletic. 'It's definitely a little bit crazy, but for me, it gets me in such a headspace where I'm blocking everything I need to block out.' Clanton may not have visualized a slow start on Thursday but he brought the right attitude to his debut. Asked how his first day of work on the job went, he said, "I don't know if you really call this work. I mean, we play golf for a living, and it's amazing."
