DWF Ventures, a leading Web 3.0 venture capital firm, has revealed that 14 public companies collectively hold $76 billion in crypto treasuries, with over $40 billion invested in the past year. This significant deployment of digital assets demonstrates diverse capital-raising methods and an expansion beyond Bitcoin into altcoins.
Key companies highlighted include Michael Saylor’s strategy commanding $67 billion, alongside Trump Media, GameStop, Metaplanet, Tesla, and Semler Scientific. The report underscores capital-raising instruments such as private investment in public equity (PIPE), at-the-market (ATM) equity sales, credit facilities, reverse mergers, and company treasury funding, with PIPE and convertible notes being especially popular.
While Bitcoin remains the dominant asset across these treasuries, some companies diversify into altcoins including Binance Coin (BNB), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Sui (SUI), and Tron (TRX). A notable example is Tren’s impending reverse merger with Nasdaq-listed SRM Entertainment, which incorporates a $100 million equity agreement to bolster its crypto treasury.
DWF Labs, affiliated with DWF Ventures, plans to pursue similar structured deals within the U.S. equity market, building on their recent investment in Interactive Strength (TRNR). This activity highlights a growing trend of public companies strategically integrating crypto assets into their financial structures, signaling greater mainstream adoption and evolving capital strategies in the blockchain space.
