Anthony Pompliano has secured $750 million to take his crypto firm, ProCap, public in the U.S. through a merger with Columbus Circle Capital Corp, a blank-check company. The new entity will operate as ProCap Financial Inc., boasting $1 billion in Bitcoin on its balance sheet post-merger, expected to finalize by year-end. Pompliano, who will lead the firm, stated that ProCap Financial aims to acquire Bitcoin while developing revenue-generating products and services. The merger raised $516.5 million in equity and $235 million in convertible notes, supported by notable investors like FalconX and Blockchain.com. ProCap Financial's Bitcoin holdings would rank it as the eighth largest among public companies, surpassing Coinbase. Other firms, including Donald Trump’s media company and Twenty One Capital, are also pursuing public listings to capitalize on the growing interest in crypto.
