Canadian Bitcoin custodian Matador Technologies aims to raise $58 million (CAD80 million) to increase its Bitcoin reserves from 175 BTC to 1,000 BTC by the end of 2026.
The firm said Monday that it received approval from the Ontario Securities Commission to sell up to $58 million âof common shares, warrants, subscription receipts, debt securities, or unitsâ over the next 25 months.
âObtaining the receipt for our CAD $80 million base shelf prospectus is a critical step in maturing our capital structure,â said Deven Soni, CEO of Matador.
Soni added that the funds raised will remain focused on âincreasing Bitcoin per share over timeâ to accumulate 1,000 BTC by the end of 2026.
âMatador may, from time to time, allocate available capital toward Bitcoin purchases or other corporate purposes, depending on market conditions, regulatory requirements, the Companyâs financial position and other factors.â
Matador Completes One Year in âBitcoin-First Strategyâ
The Toronto Stock Exchange-listed firm executed its âBitcoin-first strategyâ in December 2024 by investing $4.5 million in BTC. The company executives said at the time that Bitcoin would be the âfuture-proof of our treasury.â
Matador has since increased its BTC treasury by approximately 767% from December 10, 2024, to December 22, 2025, the announcement read.
âBitcoin is a volatile asset, and navigating its cycles requires a long-term view and the ability to deploy capital in measured steps,â said Mark Moss, Chief Visionary Officer at Matador.
Last month, the company closed the convertible note facility, aiming to exclusively purchase Bitcoin for Matadorâs balance sheet.
Matador aims to increase its Bitcoin holdings to 6,000 BTC by 2027.
Growing BTC Treasury Trend
The latest move aligns with the growing trend of corporations adding Bitcoin into their treasuries as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement.
Matador Board said previously that Canadaâs national debt burden could impact the purchasing power of the Canadian Dollar. As a result, the firm is diversifying its treasury with Bitcoin and USD, which the Board says are more resilient stores of value.
Elsewhere, Michael Saylorâs Strategy, the largest aggressive corporate Bitcoin holder, has paused its Bitcoin buys. The firm boosted its cash reserves by $747.8 million to $2.19 billion through sales of common stock.
