Pray, have you heard the latest intelligence concerning Bakkt Holdings? It appears, with all the self-assurance of a wealthy suitor at a country ball, they have approached that grand arbiter of fortunes, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, to propose the raising of—brace yourself—no less than one billion dollars. The occasion? Why, a most spirited leap into the realms of Bitcoin and digital assets, those thoroughly modern amusements to which so many gentlemen and speculators have lately turned their attention.
The missive to the SEC details Bakkt’s intention to issue everything from common stock and preferred stock to sundry debt instruments and warrants—a veritable ball of securities, where no invitation is withheld, and everyone waits for the next quadrille. This “shelf registration,” as it is so cleverly named, provides Bakkt the liberty to court the market’s favor at their convenience, darting in and out according to the financial weather—how very becoming.
The proposed funds, we are told, are to be spent with all the discretion one expects from an heiress on a shopping trip: whether on a delightful quantity of Bitcoin, the careful arrangement of a crypto treasury, or those mysterious “corporate needs” for which large sums are always required. Although Bakkt has not yet acquired a single Bitcoin (how cautious!), the filing alone whispers promises of a future rendezvous with the cryptic currency.
If we are to believe the arithmetic of the day, with Bitcoin presently trading at the most dizzying sum of $106,800 per coin, Bakkt’s purse of one billion dollars could acquire approximately 9,364 BTC. This would elevate Bakkt’s social standing considerably, placing them just above Coinbase in the Bitcoin hierarchy and counting them among such luminaries as Strategy, Marathon Digital, and, dare I say it, the ever-dramatic Tesla. One imagines quite the assembly in the drawing room.
Mr. Akshay Naheta, Co-Chief Executive and, evidently, the Fitzwilliam Darcy of this narrative, insists this scheme shall render Bakkt a “pure-play crypto infrastructure company,” as though such purity has not been the ambition of company men since time immemorial. One might almost blush.
Founded in that bygone year of 2018 by Intercontinental Exchange, Bakkt’s beginnings were modest: Bitcoin futures and an air of quiet respectability. Now, with their public listing and all manner of new crypto pursuits—custody, rewards, and the like—they turn yet again, their ambitions as changeable as a fashionable bonnet.
Should every grand design come to fruition, Bakkt’s latest gambit may stand as a tremendous endorsement for Bitcoin among the great houses of commerce. Or, as Mrs. Bennet would say, “Single, rich, and in possession of a large sum to invest—what a fine thing for our crypto!” 😏🪙
