Zeta Network secures $231m Bitcoin-backed investment to expand treasury

Zeta Network is using Bitcoin as the foundation for a major expansion of its treasury. The company said it leveraged SolvBTC to secure a $231 million investment dedicated to scaling its financial resources.

According to a press release dated Oct. 15, Zeta Network Group has entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private investment in public equity totaling approximately $230.8 million.

Per the deal’s structure, the proceeds will be paid to Zeta not in U.S. dollars but in either Bitcoin (BTC) or SolvBTC, a Bitcoin-backed yield-generating token. This capital infusion, expected to close on Oct. 16, will be used to acquire company shares and warrants, directly expanding Zeta’s treasury with a digital asset designed for institutional use, the company said.

Bitcoin-backed structure reinforces Zeta’s treasury strategy

Under the terms of the private placement, Zeta Network is issuing Class A ordinary shares and one-for-one warrants, each exercisable at $2.55 per share. The securities are being sold together at a combined price of $1.70 per unit, creating a structured financing mechanism that gives investors both equity exposure and an option on Zeta’s long-term valuation.

Zeta Network framed this move as a disciplined, counter-cyclical strategy that strengthens its conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term fundamentals. By accepting a Bitcoin-backed instrument as payment, the company is aligning its treasury with the digital asset’s perceived value and scarcity, even amid recent market volatility.

“By integrating SolvBTC into our treasury, we’re enhancing financial resilience with an instrument that combines Bitcoin’s scarcity with sustainable yield. It’s a measured, institutional approach to growth,” Patrick Ngan, Chief Investment Officer at Zeta Network Group, said.

According to the company, SolvBTC represents a new class of Bitcoin-based financial instrument aimed at bridging the gap between corporate treasury management and on-chain infrastructure.

Each SolvBTC token is fully collateralized 1:1 with Bitcoin, which is held under regulated custody. Its reserves are verified on-chain, offering a structure designed for institutional treasury applications where transparency and compliance are paramount. This provides a mechanism for companies to gain Bitcoin exposure while potentially earning yield, moving beyond passive holding.

Meanwhile, Zeta Network is building a Bitcoin-centric institutional finance platform. The company said its operations are designed to integrate digital-asset treasury management, Bitcoin liquidity aggregation, and sustainable mining operations, all within the regulated framework provided by its Nasdaq listing.
