This is Bridge leveraging failed talks for future funding rounds or in hopes of finding another faster buyer. Stripe has been making a plethora of acquisitions recently, but have kept all of them quiet and mostly directed towards tiny teams that were covering blind spots for Stripe.

I just don't see how any of that aligns with Bridge, not when Stripe has already been implementing crypto related features and is well positioned to offer everything Bridge does without the $1B purchase cost for a company that can only get valuation at 200m.
