Initially raising $200 million<\/strong> in January, the SPAC will help establish 21 Capital<\/strong>, a firm converting Bitcoin into equity at a projected value of $85,000 per BTC<\/strong> \u2014 echoing MicroStrategy<\/strong>\u2019s strategy of using BTC as a balance sheet asset.<\/p>\n

Institutional Strength Behind the Move<\/h2>\n

Tether<\/strong> is contributing $1.5 billion<\/strong>, Bitfinex<\/strong> adds $600 million<\/strong>, and SoftBank<\/strong> commits $900 million<\/strong> to the venture. An additional $550 million<\/strong> is expected to be raised via bonds and private equity to further expand the BTC holdings.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid a new wave of institutional crypto optimism under the Trump administration, with Bitcoin<\/strong> trading near $92,000<\/strong> and regulatory sentiment turning more favorable. This move is expected to be officially announced in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Howard Lutnick<\/strong>, once skeptical of Tether<\/strong>\u2019s liquidity, has taken a softer tone recently, especially during Senate testimonies. His firm, Cantor Fitzgerald<\/strong>, currently holds a large share of Tether\u2019s U.S. Treasury reserves, indicating strong ties to the stablecoin giant.<\/p>\n
