Emin Gün Sirer, founder and CEO of Ava Labs—the firm behind the Avalanche blockchain—will serve as an adviser. Bart Smith, former head of Susquehanna Crypto, has been named CEO.
Targeting $1 Billion in AVAX holdings
The company disclosed an “exclusive relationship” with the Avalanche Foundation, which had been planning discounted token sales to treasury firms. Avalanche Treasury Co. expects to raise around $460 million in initial assets, with a long-term goal of surpassing $1 billion in AVAX holdings.
AVAX briefly spiked to $31.32 following the announcement before settling at $30.58, still up 2.3% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.
Crypto-focused firms backing the merger include Galaxy Digital, Pantera Capital, Dragonfly, VanEck, FalconX, Monarq, CoinFund, and Kraken.
Beyond passive accumulation
Unlike traditional treasury models, the company intends to be active onchain. Plans include targeted protocol investments, validator operations, and supporting enterprises in tokenizing real-world assets and stablecoins.
Smith said the firm is designed to give institutions exposure to Avalanche’s ecosystem “beyond passive accumulation,” noting that many investors face restrictions when trying to access digital assets .
Discounted entry strategy
Avalanche Treasury Co. will launch with discounted AVAX purchases and has secured an 18-month priority on token sales from the Avalanche Foundation. It is targeting a multiple of net asset value (mNAV) of 0.77, equating to a 23% discount compared to direct AVAX purchases.
However, analysts at NYDIG recently cautioned that the mNAV metric can be misleading, arguing it doesn’t accurately reflect a company’s true financial standing.
