Today I want to talk about something quite interesting — Twenty One Capital's IPO.



It sounds pretty impressive, holding a $4 billion Bitcoin reserve. It should be a hot stock, right? But on the first day of trading, the stock price plummeted by 20%.

Why did this happen? The reason isn't that complicated. Although the company has a strong Bitcoin asset base, its prospectus and public information barely explain its future business plans or profit models. Investors looked at it and thought: You’re just a Bitcoin holder? Why should I buy your stock? So they voted with their feet.

This incident gives us several lessons:

First, a large asset size doesn’t equal high investment value. Having money and making money are two different things.

Second, transparent business logic is becoming increasingly important. The market isn’t so easy to fool anymore. Telling stories isn’t enough; you need solid plans.

Third, do thorough research before making investment decisions. Understand what the company truly aims to do, rather than just focusing on the numbers on the books.

Honestly, this move has served as a wake-up call for the entire industry. Do you think the drop was unjustified? If it were you, would you consider buying stocks of such a company?

Haha, this move is really clever. The $4 billion Bitcoin reserve still declined, which shows that owning more assets doesn't necessarily mean effective operation. Now investors are all sober-minded. Isn't buying Bitcoin itself more profitable? Why pay tuition to intermediaries? This company is indeed a bit disappointing. Just holding onto coins without doing anything and still wanting to go public and raise funds. The market has taught it a lesson. Basically, it's still lacking imagination. Can't even tell a reliable story well. No wonder it got hammered. I think it should have been like this from the start, at least it makes everyone think a bit more. How many times have we said DYOR?

Haha, stacking Bitcoin just to go public and cut the leeks? The market has long seen through it; no one is that naive. That's why I never chase hot topics; I always ask first if there is a real business model. It's hilarious—voting with your feet is really straightforward; a 20% plunge is well-deserved. Basically, there's no story to support it; investors are not fools. Really? Having more assets doesn't mean you can make money. Do I need to teach this again? I wouldn't touch such shady projects. It's more reassuring to honestly accumulate Bitcoin. Exposed for all to see, with such poor transparency, who dares to take the risk?

Waiting to see how they tell the story next. Relying solely on BTC reserves can't support the valuation at all.

This move is hilarious. They can't come up with a decent business plan with 4 billion Bitcoins, no wonder they got beaten up.
