The initiative mirrors Strategy's Bitcoin plan, with contributions from Tether ($1.5 billion), SoftBank ($900 million), and Bitfinex ($600 million). Brandon Lutnick, current chair and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and son of former CEO Howard Lutnick, is at the helm of this venture. The initiative will utilize funds from Cantor Equity Partners, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that raised $200 million earlier this year. The investment contributions to 21 Capital are substantial, with Tether expected to provide $1.5 billion in Bitcoin. SoftBank will contribute $900 million, while Bitfinex plans to supply $600 million worth of the crypto. This collaboration aims to mirror the investment approach pioneered by Michael Saylor's Strategy, which has seen significant success in the Bitcoin market🔥 The report highlights that the Bitcoin holdings from these companies will eventually be converted into shares of 21 Capital, valued at $10 per share, suggesting a valuation of $85,000 per Bitcoin. Additionally, Cantor's vehicle plans to raise $350 million through a convertible bond and an additional $200 million via private equity placements for further Bitcoin acquisitions. The Financial Times notes that an official announcement regarding this venture is expected in the coming weeks, although details may still be subject to changes or cancellation.

That move back then marked the start of a long downtrend that eventually took the ratio all the way to 31 over the next three years. Are we heading into a similar setup now? (except we're starting from an even more extreme level). We’ve just dipped below 100; in 2008, the peak was 85. Just to put it in perspective: If the ratio drops to 30 today, silver would be trading around $110 an ounce. Source: Bloomberg, Crescat Capital
