As reported by the media source, SoftBank, Tether, and Bitfinex are prepared to offer bitcoins amounting to $3 billion for the new fund. Lutnick's firm will also secure $350 million in convertible bonds and an extra $200 million via a private placement to acquire more bitcoins. The investment is set to be transformed into shares of 21 Capital at $10 each, which means bitcoin will be valued at $85,000 per coin.
It is likely that the fund 21 Capital aims to replicate the success of Strategy (previously known as MicroStrategy), a former software company that significantly increased in value after investing in bitcoin.
FT notes that the project was initiated by a group overseen by Brandon Lutnick at Cantor Equity Partners, which is the investment branch of Cantor Fitzgerald. In January, the firm has secured $200 million for establishing the company 21 Capital. Nonetheless, the newspaper's sources highlighted that the arrangement of the deal could still be modified, and the agreement might ultimately be revoked.
