Crypto investment firm ProCap makes bold entrance into corporate Bitcoin holdings
Anthony Pompliano’s Bitcoin-focused financial services firm, ProCap, has entered the corporate BTC arena with a massive $386 million purchase of 3,724 Bitcoin, as part of its strategy to position Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. The announcement comes just days after ProCap revealed its plans to go public via a SPAC merger later this year.
$386M BTC Purchase Marks Strategic Shift
ProCap confirmed that the Bitcoin was acquired at a time-weighted average price of $103,785 per BTC, shortly before the asset rallied, bringing the value of the holding close to $400 million at current prices.
“Bitcoin is the new hurdle rate. If you can’t beat it, you have to buy it,” said Anthony Pompliano on X, emphasizing the firm’s belief in Bitcoin as a benchmark asset.
The firm has pledged to expand its BTC holdings to as much as $1 billion, joining a growing list of corporations adopting Bitcoin as part of their long-term balance sheet strategy.
SPAC Merger and IPO Strategy
ProCap plans to go public via a merger with Columbus Circle Capital, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The deal is backed by $750 million in funding, including $516 million in equity and $235 million in convertible notes.
SPAC mergers offer a streamlined path for private companies to become publicly listed and often attract institutional investors looking for exposure to high-growth sectors — in this case, Bitcoin and crypto finance.
Once public, ProCap would rank as the 14th-largest public holder of Bitcoin, according to treasury tracker BiTBO, just behind Semler Scientific.
Corporate Bitcoin Adoption Accelerates
ProCap’s aggressive strategy adds fuel to the corporate Bitcoin treasury boom, which has accelerated in recent weeks:
- Strategy (MSTR): now holds 592,345 BTC
- Metaplanet (Japan): boosted holdings to 11,111 BTC
- Grant Cardone’s firm: entered the space with 1,000 BTC
- Panther Metals: plans to combine gold exploration and BTC with a $5.4M buy
- Green Minerals (Norway): announced a $1.2B Bitcoin investment strategy
Outlook: Bitcoin as a Corporate Benchmark
Pompliano’s framing of Bitcoin as a “new hurdle rate” signals a shifting paradigm in corporate finance — one where BTC is no longer just an alternative asset, but a performance benchmark for capital preservation and growth.
With ProCap preparing for its public debut and BTC adoption expanding across industries, the trend toward Bitcoin-backed corporate treasuries is likely to intensify.
