Twenty One Capital, the Bitcoin investment firm backed by financial giant Cantor Fitzgerald, stablecoin issuer Tether, and technology conglomerate Softbank, has announced its first major Bitcoin acquisition, purchasing 4,812 BTC worth $458.7 million. The purchase, disclosed in a securities filing on Tuesday, was executed shortly after Twenty One Capital's incorporation. According to the filing, the Bitcoin was acquired as part of an agreement tied to the gross proceeds from subscription agreements related to a convertible notes offering by the publicly traded entity, which trades under the ticker CEP.

Upon the closing of the business combination, Tether will sell the Bitcoin to Twenty One Capital for the aforementioned $458.7 million.Twenty One Capital was formed through a SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners and launched with a substantial $3.6 billion worth of Bitcoin already on its balance sheet, positioning it as the third-largest public holder of the cryptocurrency. The company is led by Jack Mallers, the founder of payment network Strike, and is majority-owned by Tether and its sister company, the crypto exchange Bitfinex, with SoftBank holding a minority stake.
