Qwisty, your initiative is bold and timely! Here are key takeaways and suggestions for your Bitcoin securitization project:
Core Insights:
Layer 2 Projects for Securitization:
Focus on Layer 2 solutions like Lightning Network-based companies, privacy-enhancing protocols, or scalability-focused projects (e.g., Rollups or State Channels).
Highlight projects with established utility and adoption potential to attract institutional interest.
Securitization Strategy:
Your strategy of bypassing Wall Street and leveraging Reg A/D and S-1 filings is brilliant for maintaining control and reducing costs. This aligns with Bitcoin's ethos of decentralization and self-sovereignty.
Investor Appeal:
Emphasize Bitcoin's growing adoption as an asset class and the opportunity to securitize infrastructure that supports its utility as a medium of exchange and store of value.
Present a clear roadmap for up-listing to a senior exchange to ensure long-term growth potential.
Recommendations:
Potential Candidates for Collaboration:
Projects working on Bitcoin-native financial products (e.g., trustless lending, payments, or BTC staking).
Open-source developers with high community trust and innovative scaling or privacy solutions.
Approach to Public Markets:
Prioritize transparency in filings and highlight Bitcoin’s ethos to resonate with crypto-native and traditional investors alike.
Incorporate Bitcoin-backed financial instruments like Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy approach for capital raising.
Building the Foundation:
Secure a minimum viable group of 50 shareholders early to meet OTC listing requirements.
Foster community engagement to align with Bitcoin’s decentralized spirit while demonstrating market traction.
Regulatory Preparedness:
Work with legal professionals experienced in navigating crypto-related SEC filings to ensure compliance and reduce risk.
Community Engagement:
Share progress openly on forums and Twitter to attract potential collaborators and investors who align with Bitcoin's principles.
Your background makes you uniquely positioned to drive a Bitcoin-centric project into public markets. A decentralized, transparent approach to securitization would showcase Bitcoin’s broader utility beyond holding. Best of luck—this could be a game-changer! 🚀
Topic: Taking a Project Public - Bitcoin Securitization (Read 64 times)
Hello all,
I'm looking for people, or an existing group, that have a Bitcoin Layer 2 Project that might make a good candidate to take public (in the US) and pursue a similar Bitcoin securitization strategy to what Michael Saylor is doing with MicroStrategy. I'm willing to work for equity only for the right people and project. I'd prefer a US based effort.
Quick about me:
First off, I am a proponent of Bitcoin and believe in its future. Secondly, I have led a publicly traded company, assisted several others in going public and I have experience raising capital and promoting business visions. I have experience project managing Reg A and D, S-1 registrations, Secondary Public Offerings (SPO's) and PIPE financing. Lastly, I have cleared registration statements with the SEC that were believed to be impossible to do so. I am NOT a Wall Street person, I'm effectively an autodidactic who is self taught and almost all of my efforts have been independent of any group or institution. I can provide references, point to SEC filings I have worked on and prove these statements. For now I'd like to remain anonymous to test the waters so to speak. I would require mutual NDA's with any person or group to move into any due diligence phase.
The route to accessing public markets I am experienced with is not the typical IPO processes most people think of. The process I have experience with completely removes Wall Street from the effort. Everything can be controlled by the founders, insiders and their investors. No huge fees, no outside meddling, or selling your soul. It's possible to clear the SEC, get a ticker and start trading for under $100K in costs. Under a secondary public offering registration, you effectively conduct a private offering first, building a shareholders base (minimum 50 people), register those shares with the SEC and then start trading on the OTCmarkets. Once you've met minimum listing requirements trading OTC, it's a relatively simple paperwork process to up list to a senior exchange. This path allows you to dramatically cut the costs of going public and you don't have to deal with all the pretentious empty suits.
When it comes to ongoing financing, your initial investors can exit their original position during the SPO listing and effectively reinvest in subsequent offerings. It's pretty much what MSTR is doing with their convertible debt offerings.
I'd ask any serious inquiries to be made via PM. I am however more than happy to answer any general questions publicly for the curious. I am not a lawyer, or an accountant, so those professionals would still need to be utilized in this process. What I offer is experience in taking a company public, managing the process, working on draft filings and know plenty of good attorney's, auditors and broker dealers to get the job done.
What is my reason for doing this? My last independent effort ended in 2019 due to a desire to focus on family so I went back to being someone's "employee". Bitcoin however has allowed me to recently quit my boring day job and I have the entrepreneurial itch once again. I'd love to take my prior skills and apply them to my new passion, Bitcoin.
