Big moves are happening in crypto finance. ReserveOne, the digital asset management firm, has taken a major step toward going public by confidentially filing Form S-4 with the SEC for its SPAC merger with M3-Brigade Acquisition V Corp.
If all goes according to plan, the combined entity could hit over $1 billion in valuation putting ReserveOne on the fast track to the Nasdaq.
What makes this SPAC merger exciting? ReserveOne isn’t just listing; it’s bringing a diversified crypto treasury strategy to public markets.
Post-merger, their portfolio is set to include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more, with opportunities for yield generation through institutional staking and lending. Think of it as crypto exposure for investors, without the hassle of managing wallets or navigating exchanges.
Leading the charge is Jaime Leverton, former CEO of Hut 8, stepping in as ReserveOne’s CEO.
Sebastian Bea, who previously headed Coinbase Asset Management, joins as president and head of investment. With this leadership team, ReserveOne is clearly signaling it’s serious about blending crypto innovation with institutional-grade finance.
ReserveOne’s model is inspired by the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, aiming to create a diversified basket of cryptocurrencies for both institutional and retail investors. This approach makes crypto investing accessible, regulated, and seamless, directly through the public markets.
Filing the Form S-4 is a key milestone, covering securities in the merger and exchange transactions, and moving ReserveOne closer to a public listing.
The SPAC route allows them to skip the slow traditional IPO path, entering public markets faster while riding the wave of growing institutional interest in crypto treasury solutions.
M3-Brigade Acquisition V Corp, the blank-check vehicle behind the deal, is the engine making this move possible. Once complete, the combination opens a new gateway for investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrency via established financial markets, without ever touching a crypto wallet.
ReserveOne isn’t just going public it’s redefining how the public interacts with digital assets, creating a bridge between Wall Street and the crypto universe.
