Following the deal, the firm will delist from Nasdaq Stockholm. <\/p>\n<p>The deal will involve the Vine Hill SPAC merging into a newly formed company, Odysseus Holdings. Following the merger, CoinShares shareholders will exchange their shares for shares of Odysseus. After the deal is complete, CoinShares investors will own 92% of the new company. The deal values the company at $1.2 billion, representing a 30% premium to its stock price before the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the merger, CoinShares announced a private placement with hedge fund Alyeska, investing $50 million at $10 per share. The hedge fund will also receive bonus shares, further lowering its acquisition cost. According to CoinShares, this investment will help fund the company\u2019s expansion in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CoinShares\u2019 Nasdaq listing to help with U.S. expansion<\/h2>\n<p>CoinShares\u2019 decision to list on Nasdaq is likely an effort to attract more capital. Nasdaq has far more liquidity than its Swedish counterpart, which will enable the company to raise capital more easily and potentially boost its stock price.<\/p>\n<p>SPAC deals allow companies to bypass the traditional IPO process, which is slow and expensive. They involve acquiring a blank-check shell company that is already listed on an exchange and holds cash. The merger enables the acquiring company to go public.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CoinShares, the largest European crypto asset manager, is moving its listing venue to the U.S. with a SPAC merger.
