DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE: DDC) has secured up to $528 million to grow its Bitcoin reserves and become a global BTC leader. According to a press release on June 17, the company entered three securities purchase agreements involving equity, convertible notes, and a credit facility. Most of the capital will be allocated toward Bitcoin acquisition, as the company aims to establish one of the largest corporate BTC holdings. Who will dominate the global corporate Bitcoin treasury race?
Strong Institutional Support Drives Record Raise
DDC announced $26 million in a private investment in public equity (PIPE) with major institutional and individual Bitcoin investors. The PIPE includes partners such as Animoca Brands, Kenetic Capital, QCP Capital, Jack Liu, and Origin Protocol’s Matthew Liu. These investors agreed to purchase 2,435,169 Class A Ordinary shares at an average of $10.30 per share. Besides, the shares will be restricted for 180 days, showing long-term confidence in DDC’s direction.
According to the company, this funding signals strong institutional trust and bolsters DDC’s robust Bitcoin strategy. The transaction remains subject to standard closing conditions.
Additionally, a $2 million equity private placement with Anson Funds complements the deal, providing further financial backing for the treasury plan.
Convertible Note and Credit Line Provide Flexibility
The press release stated that DDC also secured a $300 million convertible secured note with Anson Funds, beginning with an initial $25 million tranche. The note carries no interest and matures in 24 months. DDC can access the remaining $275 million in future drawdowns with mutual agreement.
Moreover, a $200 million equity line of credit was arranged with Anson Funds. This allows DDC to raise capital in stages, helping to manage the timing of Bitcoin purchases. The ELOC will begin following registration and provide flexibility for BTC stacking over time. Hence, this multi-layered funding structure offers both upfront and long-term capital to support a concentrated Bitcoin strategy.
