Investor and podcaster Anthony Pompliano just launched ProCap, a company that wants to be the Goldman Sachs of Bitcoin. Big talk, big money.
🚨 Breaking News:
Pompliano raised $750M for ProCap, which will go public via SPAC and hold up to $1B in bitcoin.
⚡ Wire Simplified:
ProCap will buy bitcoin immediately and offer services like trading and lending, all in BTC.
Backed by $235M debt and more in equity, it’s targeting a $1B balance sheet.
They’re copying Michael Saylor’s “Bitcoin treasury” model but going full Wall Street.
Public via SPAC, joining a wave of reverse-mergers (some involving Trump & Justin Sun).
ProCap wants to be the first real bitcoin-native financial services firm.
✔️ Straight to the Point:
ProCap isn’t just holding bitcoin. It’s trying to turn it into a full-blown financial system. The crypto bank era is coming.
