Today, Tether Group and Bitfinex compiled a total of 25,812.22 BTC to support their investments in Twenty One Capital, a newly formed Bitcoin native company that will be exposed through a combination of business with Cantor Equity Partners (NASDAQ: CEP).
Tether has moved 14,000 BTC to an address of 21 capital (XXI) and previously moved 4,812.22 BTC to another address of 21 capital as part of an investment in the company.
Bitfinex, in parallel, sent 7,000 BTC to the Twenty One Capital address as part of its investment.
These Bitcoin transfers are just over a month from 21 capital, and CEP announced they are raising $585 million in additional capital at the end of the business combination. The pay raise was expected to be further used for Bitcoin purchases and general corporate purposes, featuring a $385 million conversion senior secured note and a $200 million pipe (private investment in public equity). Once confirmed, the company expects to be released at over 42,000 BTC, positioning it as the third largest Bitcoin Ministry of Finance in the world.
“The market needs reliable money to measure value and allocate capital efficiently,” said the co-founder and CEO of Twenty One Jack Mallers. “We are Bitcoin is the answer, and 21 is the way we bring that answer to the public market. Our mission is simple: to become the most successful company in Bitcoin.
The announcement comes days after the Marauers announced their new Bitcoin Back Loan Platform on strike at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas. The system offers an interest rate of 9-13%, allowing clients to borrow between $10,000 and $10 billion using Bitcoin as collateral.
“All these professional economists, they’re like Bitcoin is dangerous and unstable,” Mullers said. “No, not. This is an epic seven-year volatility, and the orange one in the middle is Bitcoin. It’s riskless and not volatile. It’s a little more volatile than an apple, but much less volatile than a Tesla.”
“Life is short,” Jack commented. “I travel, but with Bitcoin, I can take something better.”
