Crypto-focused asset manager Grayscale’s IPO may enable it to seek out new funding avenues such as stock or convertible note offerings.
Cryptocurrency-focused asset manager and exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer Grayscale joined a growing list of crypto companies seeking to launch IPOs in the United States.
On Monday, Grayscale said it had filed to list its company shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under a new clause that enables confidential filings ahead of a final public offering.
Entering public markets would enable Grayscale to seek more funding opportunities through strategies such as public stock offerings, which was leveraged by Michael Saylor’s Strategy, or convertible note offerings, such as GameStop’s $2.25 billion offering from June 13.
