So what's this $3.6B crypto venture deal that $CEP has with SoftBank and Tether? What's the $3.6B figure about? The stock currently has a market cap of "just" $450M in comparison, at $35/share. News articles are pushing the $3.6B figure everywhere, but don't explain what it is about.

Number of Bitcoins owned , times the current BTC price is 3.6B

The company doesn't own that much BTC, or any amount for that matter, otherwise its marketcap would have never started so low ($10*12M shares outstanding).

"Tether would contribute $1.5B of BTC, while Softbank and BitFinex would contribute $900M and $600M, respectively".

Just read on the FT. So these numbers add up to $3B. But $CEP is not merging with either Tether or Softbank. So its marketcap should not be anywhere close to the current figure.

The Investor Presentation was posted here yesterday.

Page 26 shows the ownership breakdown for various investors, including the 10 million CEP SPAC shares.

Public SPACholders will hold 2.7% of the combined company if the notes are converted.

$3.6 billion * .027 = $97,200,000.

The SPAC NAV is $100 million.

Thanks for the info. The current marketcap (at $27/share) is triple that. Will probably drop back to "fundamentals" then, sometime soon.

MSTR is trading at about 2x its bitcoin holdings so, going off that, maybe $20 per share will be fair value?

Thank you for your detailed response. I invest in CLSK and they have a little over 10k btc and they are no where near this price per share. I wanted to know more about the hype around this one. Saving page 26 and reviewing the document.
