Genius said the proceeds would be divided among its Bitcoin treasury, an AI portfolio and a dollar reserve equal to about 18 months of preferred dividends. The company has not…

A burn limit caps how much USDC can be destroyed on one chain for reminting on another. Circle plans to reduce those limits and transfer capacity through November, then pause the contracts on Dec. 1.
