AD Ports sells NMDC stake to Alpha Dhabi for $436m
AD Ports Group has sold a 9.77 percent stake in the dredging company NMDC Group to Alpha Dhabi Holding, an investment holding company, for AED1.6 billion ($436 million).
All three companies are listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).
The ports operator had received the NMDC stake from Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ) before listing in February 2022, it said in a statement to ADX.
In less than four years, the stake yielded a shareholder return of 17 percent, based on dividends and capital gains, with its book value as of Q3 2025 used as a reference.
The divestment is the third this year of non-core assets, following the sale of land at Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (Kezad) to Mira Developments, and the sale of two logistics warehouses in Kezad to Aldar Properties for AED570 million.
Proceeds from the NMDC transaction will be used to deleverage the group’s balance sheet and to recycle capital into higher-return projects.
Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEO of AD Ports Group, said the company will continue actively to manage its asset base to unlock and maximise value.

The stake purchase will increase Alpha Dhabi’s ownership in the NMDC Group to around 77 percent.
The port operator’s share price closed at AED4.35 on Wednesday, down about 15 percent year-to-date. It has a free float of nearly 25 percent, with the remaining stake held by sovereign wealth fund ADQ.
International Holding Company, chaired by national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, owns around 60 percent of Alpha Dhabi, according to ADX data.

Strive CEO Urges MSCI to Reconsider Bitcoin-Holding Firms’ Index Exclusion
The post Strive CEO Urges MSCI to Reconsider Bitcoin-Holding Firms’ Index Exclusion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MSCI’s proposed Bitcoin exclusion would bar companies with over 50% digital asset holdings from indexes, potentially costing firms like Strategy $2.8 billion in inflows. Strive CEO Matt Cole urges MSCI to let the market decide, emphasizing Bitcoin holders’ roles in AI infrastructure and structured finance growth. Strive’s letter to MSCI argues exclusion limits passive investors’ access to high-growth sectors like AI and digital finance. Nasdaq-listed Strive, the 14th-largest Bitcoin treasury firm, highlights how miners are diversifying into AI power infrastructure.

This move targets major Bitcoin treasury holders like Strategy, potentially disrupting billions in investment flows. Strive Enterprises, a key player in the space, has formally opposed it through a letter to MSCI’s leadership. How Does the MSCI Bitcoin Exclusion Affect Bitcoin Treasury Firms? The proposal could deliver a substantial setback to Bitcoin treasury firms by limiting their inclusion in widely tracked MSCI indexes, which guide trillions in passive investments globally. According to JPMorgan analysts, Strategy alone might see a $2.8 billion drop in assets under management if excluded from the MSCI World Index, as reported in their recent market analysis. This exclusion would hinder these firms’ ability to attract institutional capital, forcing them to compete at a disadvantage against traditional finance entities.
