February 18th, Nimbus Capital revealed a $15 million strategic partnership with Chimera Wallet—a non-custodial wallet leveraging Bitcoin’s VTXO technology.

Nimbus Capital Managing Partner Robert Baker added this move will drive deeper Bitcoin integration across institutional and decentralized spaces.
