CoinShares Lands Massive $1.2 Billion Nasdaq Deal with Vine Hill to Supercharge U.S. Expansion

CoinShares just dropped a billion-dollar bombshell—and Wall Street's scrambling to catch up.

The $1.2 Billion Power Move

Nasdaq becomes the battleground for Europe's crypto giant to plant its flag on American soil. Vine Hill Partners—known for their sharp-eyed investments—just handed over the capital to make it happen. No vague promises here—just cold, hard institutional money changing hands.

U.S. Expansion: No Longer a 'Someday' Plan

CoinShares isn't dipping a toe—they're diving headfirst into the world's largest financial market. Regulatory hurdles? Probably. Market volatility? Always. But with $1.2 billion in play, they're betting big that U.S. investors are hungry for serious crypto exposure—not just meme coins and hype.

Because when traditional finance finally wakes up to crypto, they don't innovate—they acquire. And this time? It's a full-scale invasion.

• CoinShares to list on Nasdaq through merger, valued at $1.2 billion.
• Shareholders may retain as much as 91.6% of the new entity.
• Deal expected to close by December 2025 with $50 million private placement.

CoinShares, Europe’s leading digital asset manager, is preparing to shift its listing from Sweden to the United States in a landmark transaction.

The company, which currently manages about $10 billion in assets, has signed a merger agreement with Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp. and Odysseus Holdings. The deal values CoinShares at $1.2 billion pre-money and positions it among the world’s largest pure-play digital asset managers.

Jean-Marie Mognetti, co-founder and chief executive of CoinShares, said this MOVE represents more than just a transfer of listing. He described it as a transition toward global leadership, with the U.S. providing a stronger platform for growth.

Mognetti highlighted that the American market accounts for over half of global assets under management, making it the most strategic location for expansion.

The boards of the company and Vine Hill have approved the merger, and closing is expected by December 2025, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals. As part of the arrangement, a $50 million private placement will support the firm’s expansion plans.

Vine Hill CEO Hails CoinShares as Market Leader

The chief executive of Vine Hill, Nicholas Petruska, described the company as a leading business in the market with a proven model. He added that it’s recurrent revenues and high margins are a foundation for long-term development once complemented by access to the capital markets in the U.S.
