Bitcoin Twenty One Capital’s Treasury has added around 5,800 BTC from Tether, which has boosted its total holdings as it gears up for trading. It could potentially become the third-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.
The company—an initiative involving Tether, Bitfinex, Cantor Fitzgerald, and SoftBank—now reports holding 43,500 Bitcoins, valued at roughly $5.1 billion based on the current price of $117,516 per BTC.
“We believe we have the capability to achieve anything with the partners, capital, teams, and structures we’ve established,” said a spokesperson.
The company, as part of a growing trend, focuses on accumulating assets. They aim to collaborate with the Ministry of Finance, which holds over 42,000 BTC.
Located in Austin, Texas, Twenty One boasts more Bitcoin than nearly all other firms except for certain strategies and the Bitcoin miner Mara Holdings. It is set to allow traditional investors to engage with cryptocurrencies via stock market transactions.
“Twenty One represents a new breed of public company. It’s built on Bitcoin, anchored in transparency, and driven by a vision to revamp the global financial system,” Mallers commented. “We’re not seeking to disrupt existing systems; we’re in the process of creating a new one.”
The launch of Twenty One will occur through an upcoming SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners, a blank check company linked to Cantor Fitzgerald. Shares are set to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker CEP, which saw a 4.5% drop on Tuesday.
Once launched, the company will operate under the ticker XXI.
The organizations involved in this new Treasury department combine traditional financial powerhouses with crypto firms. Tether stands as the largest issuer of stablecoins, which are pegged to the dollar’s value.
Bitfinex functions as a cryptocurrency exchange, while Cantor Fitzgerald is a notable Wall Street entity once led by Howard Lutnick, an ally of former President Donald Trump and the U.S. Secretary of Commerce.
