Anthony Pompliano is taking his bitcoin-native financial platform ProCap BTC public through a $1 billion merger with Columbus Circle Capital Corp. I (CCCM), a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by an affiliate of Cohen & Company.<\/p>\n

The transaction, announced Monday, positions the new entity, ProCap Financial, Inc., as one of the largest bitcoin treasuries ever to hit public markets.<\/p>\n

In what\u2019s being called the largest initial fundraise for a public bitcoin BTC<\/span><\/svg><\/span>$111,481.44<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> treasury company to date, ProCap raised $550 million in preferred equity and secured $225 million in convertible notes, giving future shareholders immediate exposure to bitcoin through a structure designed to acquire BTC ahead of the deal’s close.<\/p>\n

Led by Pompliano, a well-known investor and vocal bitcoin advocate, ProCap aims to operate at the intersection of digital assets and traditional finance. <\/p>\n

The company plans to generate profit not just by holding BTC but by actively deploying its bitcoin balance sheet across yield-generating strategies that mitigate risk and capitalize on crypto-financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“The legacy financial system is being disrupted by bitcoin,” Pompliano said in a statement. “ProCap Financial represents our solution to the increasing demand for bitcoin-native financial services among sophisticated investors.”<\/p>\n

The merger values the combined entity at up to $1 billion, depending on the final bitcoin purchase price at closing. ProCap\u2019s BTC assets will be custodied until the transaction completes, giving investors near-instant BTC exposure without waiting for the company to go public.<\/p>\n

The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2025, pending SEC review and shareholder approval.<\/p>\n

The Financial Times first reported that Pompliano was set to become the CEO of ProCap BTC, and that the company was planning to raise $750 million to acquire bitcoin.<\/p>\n
