Crypto investor and financial influencer Anthony Pompliano’s Bitcoin-native financial service company has made plans to go public via a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
ProCap BTC will merge with Columbus Circle Capital Corp. I, a SPAC affiliated with financial services firm Cohen & Company Inc, according to a statement from Columbus Circle on Monday. As part of the agreement, the new company formed through the merger—ProCap Financial—will be headed by Pompliano, and establish a treasury with up to $1 billion in Bitcoin once the merger closes. The Bitcoin treasury will be used to generate revenue and profit through various strategies, according to the statement, although it did not disclose exactly what those would be.
