Republic Technologies, whose shares are traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker DOCT, announced it has raised $100 million from an unnamed institutional investor. According to The Block, the deal was concluded under unusual market terms: the funds are issued as a zero-coupon convertible bond, with no interest accrual and no margin requirements.
According to the official announcement, the company will use over 90% of the capital raised to acquire Ethereum. The first tranche will be $10 million. As part of the agreement, Republic will also receive warrants for 50% of the amount raised, which will be sold at market value, without any discounts that could impact the position of other issuers.
Experts note that such conditions are extremely rare, as bonds in the crypto industry typically come with either high coupon income or a significant number of warrants. Nevertheless, Republic has chosen a strategy that maintains flexibility and avoids adding leverage.
It is emphasized that Republic is actively involved in the Ethereum infrastructure, managing network validators. For the company, ETH is not just an investment asset but also an important element of its treasury policy. Republic uses Ethereum for staking and block confirmation, generating a stable income. In collaboration with QCP Capital, the firm developed a strategy that, according to their data, generates an average of 1.75% weekly returns.
Raising such a large amount highlights the growing interest of institutional investors in Ethereum. Recent data from CryptoQuant analysts shows that major market participants are once again accumulating ETH, seeing it as a long-term value and income generator.
Republic thus strengthens its position as a key player at the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized technologies. The company's focus on Ethereum confirms that institutional interest in digital assets continues to grow, and investment instruments are becoming increasingly diverse and mature.
