The Bakkt Holdings Digital Platform has submitted a registration registration with the US SEC, informing the regulator of its sales plans up to $ 1 billion securities to ensure fresh capital for the possible spread of its corporate treasury to include Bitcoin.
Supported Intercontinental Exchange, platform plans come because an increasing number of public corporations begin to maintain the largest cryptocurrency in the world as an alternative property on their balance sheets.
BAKTT S-3 submission On Thursday, it creates a set of potential securities of billions of dollars, including the usual shares, preferred shares, debt securities, weapons and stock packages that could be eavesdropped on whenever market conditions become favorable.
Bakkt intends to “explore” these “alternatives of financing” for “acquisition of bitcoin or other digital assets”, a summary of the prospectus of application.
The platform did not immediately respond Decipherptic A request for comment on his global strategy, nor will it mirror the current acquisition from companies such as Michael Saylor and Metaplanet.
Registration functions such as a pre -approved credit line, allowing companies to quickly raise funds when Bitcoin prices fall or appetite investors, instead of seeking regulatory approval each time they need capital.
P-3 application follows BAKKT’s June’s investment policy updatewhich allows the distribution of capital to Bitcoin and other digital property as part of its wider Treasury Strategy.
However, the company is yet to buy property after the update.
It is worth noting that the bakt claims that the time and size of any purchase of bitcoin “will depend on market conditions, the reception of the capital market, the business effect and other strategic considerations.”
Eyes on Asia
The Bakkt investment policy update also claims to “actively evaluate global jurisdiction”. This is good for the Asian crypto market, where the regulatory frames have matured significantly.
“BAKTT’s jurisdiction strategy is well positioned for success in Asia,” said Charmaine Tam, the head of the OTC sales in Hex Trust, the financial institution of digital assets based in Hong Kong, said, said Decipher.
Markets like Hong Kong and Singapore Offer a “strong combination of regulatory clarity, deep liquidity and mature financial infrastructure”, where bakt’s chances for the strategies of institutional digital assets could flourish, Tam said.
The move “achieves a smart balance in Asia,” but his success would depend on how the backt plays his “compliance, time and execution,” said Hank Huang, CEO of Kronos Research, Decipher.
However, the regulation for digital assets could be problematic given the complexity of the asset class. “There is no global standard. Although progressive, any jurisdiction has its own unique set of rules,” Tam notes.
“That was said, it will be a balanced act,” Tam noted, adding that Bakkt’s success would depend on his ability “to carefully move in” regulatory shades and establish a consistent local surgery for any jurisdiction in which he might want to act.
