Brazilian fintech Méliuz (CASH3), which serves over 30 million users in the country, is launching a public share offering to raise up to R$450 million ($78 million), with plans to allocate all proceeds to purchasing bitcoin BTC.

The offering, announced Friday in a securities filing, consists of an initial issuance of 17 million common shares, with the possibility of expanding to 51 million depending on demand. Shares will be sold exclusively to professional investors in Brazil and abroad under automatic registration rules.

Each share purchased will come with a package of free subscription warrants divided into 10 series, allowing investors to buy additional stock at set prices in the future.

At current share prices, Méliuz expects to raise around $26 million, but that figure could triple if overallotment options are exercised.

Investors participating in the offering will also receive 50.6 million warrants, of which up to 152 million will be issued in total under maximum subscription conditions.

Méliuz will use the raised funds to acquire BTC, positioning it as a "primary strategic asset" in its treasury. The firm, known for its cashback and financial services platform, revealed it was allocating 10% of its cash reserves to BTC back in March.

Warrant trading is expected to begin on June 16, with share settlement and crediting of the bonus instruments by June 18.

The company currently holds 320.2 BTC. Its shares dropped more than 8% in Friday’s trading session.
