🚀 ReserveOne Goes Big: $1B+ Crypto Power Play Hits Nasdaq

In partnership with

📩 Greetings Readers,

A powerful new contender is emerging in the crypto-financial landscape. ReserveOne, a cutting-edge digital asset holding firm, is making headlines with its plan to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). This strategic move is projected to raise over $1 billion, placing the firm at the heart of the evolving convergence between cryptocurrency and traditional finance.

🔁 SPAC Merger to Fuel Public Debut

ReserveOne will go public by merging with M3-Brigade Acquisition V Corp (MBAV.O), a publicly traded SPAC. This route offers a streamlined process for accessing capital markets. However, following the news, MBAV shares slipped nearly 4% in pre-market trading—highlighting investor caution in volatile markets.

💼 Diversified Crypto Holdings

ReserveOne will manage a portfolio that includes prominent digital assets such as:

• Bitcoin (BTC)

• Ethereum (ETH)

• Solana (SOL)

This model offers investors a publicly traded, diversified exposure to leading cryptocurrencies—without the need to directly hold tokens.

📈 Inspired by Market Winners

The firm’s strategy echoes that of MicroStrategy (MSTR.O), which pivoted to a Bitcoin-centric model in 2020. Since then, its stock has soared, providing a compelling blueprint for ReserveOne to follow.

🧠 Industry Titans at the Helm

ReserveOne's leadership includes prominent figures from both the crypto and traditional finance sectors:

👤 Jaime Leverton – CEO (formerly at Hut 8 Mining)

👤 Sebastian Bea – President & Head of Investment (formerly at BlackRock & Coinbase Asset Management)

👤 Reeve Collins – Chair of the Board (Co-founder of Tether)

👤 Wilbur Ross – Board Member (Former U.S. Commerce Secretary)

These seasoned leaders bring deep expertise and credibility to the venture.

💸 Powered by Crypto Heavyweights

Support for ReserveOne is robust:

• Blockchain.com and Kraken, two major players in the digital asset space, are contributing up to $750 million via a combination of equity and convertible debt.

This substantial investment signals confidence in ReserveOne’s long-term potential and market strategy.

📊 A Gateway Between Markets

This Nasdaq listing reflects the broader trend of traditional finance intersecting with digital innovation. By offering equity-based access to crypto, ReserveOne is positioning itself as a bridge for institutional and retail investors alike.

📢 Key Takeaway: ReserveOne's public market debut is more than a capital raise—it's a signal that institutional crypto adoption is accelerating.
