According to Odaily, U.S. mining giant Critical Metal Corps has announced plans to allocate its excess reserves to Bitcoin, a decision approved by its board of directors. The company revealed that it might utilize a $500 million funding pool, which is part of a convertible note financing led by JBA Asset Management, subject to conditions outlined in the transaction documents.
Initially, Critical Metal Corps plans to allocate $100 million from this pool to purchase Bitcoin. The first tranche of funds will have a warrant coverage of 100%. The company also mentioned that the remaining $400 million could be used at the discretion of the buyers, with a warrant coverage of 50%.
The convertible notes are secured by the cash raised and the acquired underlying Bitcoin. Although the company has not yet disclosed a strategic Bitcoin purchasing plan, it stated that the move would depend on its cash flow needs and that it might adjust some conditions of this strategy as deemed appropriate.
