币界网报道：ProCap BTC, founded by investor Anthony Pompliano, acquired 3,724 bitcoin at a time-weighted average price of $103,785 per coin shortly after announcing a $1 billion merger with Columbus Circle Capital Corp. (CCCM) and a separate $775 million capital raise. The purchase initiates a treasury program that could expand to $1 billion in bitcoin once the SPAC deal closes and the merged entity, ProCap Financial, lists on Nasdaq. The company previously raised $550 million via a preferred equity offering and $225 million in convertible notes. If publicly traded, ProCap BTC would rank as the 14th-largest BTC holder among listed firms, just below Semler Scientific. The firm asserts bitcoin is now the new "hurdle rate" for capital deployment, stating, "If you can’t beat it, you have to buy it," and plans to leverage its holdings in yield-generating strategies.
