Anthony Pompliano’s recently revealed Bitcoin treasury company, Procap, has acquired its first 3,724 BTC at a time-weighted average price (TWAP) of $103,785 per coin, according to an announcement on Tuesday.
The coins, valued at around $385 million, will now sit on the firm’s balance sheet , offering a leverage play for investors interested in exposure to bitcoin’s price but prefer to hold equity. Procap aims to eventually hold $1 billion worth of bitcoin.
On Monday, Procap unveiled that it has proposed a $1 billion merger with Columbus Circle Capital Corp. (ticker CCCM) to go public as ProCap Financial, Inc. The move is part of an accelerating trend of so-called crypto treasury firms that fund digital asset purchases through equity and debt sales, largely inspired by the success of Michael Saylor’s Strategy.
Procap disclosed that it had raised $516.5 million by offering equity and $235 million by selling convertible notes, which represents "the largest initial fundraise in history for a public bitcoin treasury company," according to a statement on Monday.
“The Company has wasted no time delivering for its investors by deploying the funds raised at signing to accumulate bitcoin,” the firm wrote in a release. “As a result, equity investors received immediate bitcoin exposure from the equity raise.”
Procap plans to continue buying bitcoin as part of its ongoing business strategy, according to the release. It previously said it will generate revenue and profit "through a variety of strategies."

AI Capital Expenditure Faces a Dilemma: Accelerating Puts Pressure on Cash Flow, Slowing Down Undermines the Growth Narrative
Nomura Securities believes that the AI investment narrative is mired in an internal contradiction: if hyperscale cloud providers accelerate capital expenditures, their free cash flow will continue to be drained, raising doubts about the sustainability of financing; if they slow down, it would indicate a loss of confidence in AI demand and profitability expectations. Both paths lead to sell-offs. The crowded long positions accumulated during the AI agent boom in September have triggered large-scale stop-losses under negative catalysts, spreading to US Treasury bonds, exchange rates, and commodity markets, resulting in systemic deleveraging.

The time window is extremely tight—according to SEC regulations, the S-1 filing must be submitted by next week at the latest, and prediction markets estimate the probability of a listing within the year at around 80%. The sell-off in the AI sector has cast a shadow over the listing prospects, and the previous plan to go public in September has already fallen through. Several market participants say that Anthropic may face pressure to delay its listing, but some analysts point out that the company's urgent need for capital may drive it to stick to the original plan.
