Alpha Modus Holdings, IncAlpha Modus announced a Bitcoin-funded private placement issuing ~51.6M shares plus warrants, and its shares plunged 29% as the proposed $200M+ Bitcoin position dwarfs its ~$18.9M market cap.
Nasdaq-listed Alpha Modus Holdings saw its shares plunge nearly 29% on August 27 after the artificial intelligence company announced plans to add 3,170 Bitcoin to its balance sheet through a Bitcoin-funded private placement. The transaction would add more than $200 million in Bitcoin assets, valuing the cryptocurrency at $71,000 per coin. The scale of the proposed Bitcoin position dwarfs the company itself, as Alpha Modus had an intraday market capitalization of about $18.9 million on Thursday when its shares fell to $2.72. Under an agreement signed August 26 with non-U.S. investors, Alpha Modus would issue about 51.6 million Class A shares and warrants for another 51.6 million shares in exchange for the 3,170 Bitcoin. CEO William Alessi said the company had considered a similar strategy when Bitcoin was near record highs but decided to wait, and now expects the deal to strengthen shareholder equity and help address a Nasdaq listing deficiency. The move comes as many earlier corporate Bitcoin adopters struggle, with the combined market capitalization of the 50 largest corporate Bitcoin holders falling from about $150 billion in July 2025 to $67 billion in August 2026, according to Financial Times analysis, and 35 of the 50 have lost at least half their market value. Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder with roughly 840,447 Bitcoin, reported an $8.22 billion net loss for the second quarter on July 30, driven largely by an $8.32 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings.
