1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 18

Summary

  • Crypto treasury firms trying to go public to buy digital assets are running into mounting setbacks as investor appetite for the model deteriorates.
  • SPAC routes are breaking down and listed peers’ shares are plunging, undermining a strategy built on raising public money to accumulate crypto.
  • ReserveOne Inc. — a cryptocurrency asset manager tied to figures including Wilbur Ross — illustrates the pressure facing firms still waiting in the blank-check pipeline.
  • The strain points to a broader unraveling of a once-popular structure for packaging crypto exposure in public markets amid a sharply hostile backdrop.
