You Won’t Believe What Antalpha’s IPO Roadshow Promises Investors!

by

On a blustery Tuesday, Antalpha Platform Holding puffed up its entrepreneurial coat, slicked its hair, and sashayed onto the stage of high finance, announcing a most glorious roadshow for its much-anticipated initial public offering. The company, in a fit of fiscal heroism (or perhaps a bout of numerical delirium), plans to unleash 3,850,000 ordinary shares to the delight—or sheer terror—of investors everywhere, at a dazzling price between $11.00 and $13.00 per share. 💼💸

IPO Filed With SEC… But Not So Fast, Comrades!

With no more ceremony than the arrival of spring mud in St. Petersburg, Antalpha Platform (the highly esteemed lending hand to Bitmain, who wouldn’t lend to a distant cousin without collateral) trumpeted the start of its IPO roadshow. The prospect: 3,850,000 shares—each as ordinary as a magistrate’s luncheon, yet expected to fetch between $11.00 and $13.00 apiece.

Rumor (and a press release that nobody read twice) has it that Antalpha’s grand bazaar could snatch up to $50.05 million, assuming no accountants faint and no over-allotment options are exercised. There’s talk—always talk—of bestowing upon the underwriters, Roth Capital Partners and Compass Point, a 30-day option to stuff their pockets with an extra 577,500 shares. Should this madcap plot succeed, Antalpha’s coffers may swell to a rotund $57.5 million. 🤑

The fintech maestro is twirling its baton, aiming to conduct this monetary symphony on the esteemed Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol ANTA (extra points for brevity). Roth Capital Partners and Compass Point, armed with their mighty pens and persuasive grins, will serve as the book-running managers, trying not to run the book straight into a canal. 📚

Before you rush to invest with both hands and possibly a foot, know this: Antalpha’s registration statement on Form F-1 is churning in the belly of the SEC and hasn’t quite seen the light of day. For now, dear speculator, you may look, you may yearn, but you may not buy. Securities are not yet for sale—it’s the bureaucratic way, much like waiting for a government clerk to return from lunch break… endlessly. ⏳

As the announcement clarifies with bureaucratic poetry, the IPO is playwrighting itself soothingly under Rule 134 of the Securities Act (circa 1933, because what’s a decade or nine between friends?). This is not an offer to sell, or even a proper invitation to window-shop, particularly if you reside somewhere unregistered, unlawful, or just plain unlucky. If you harbor intent to purchase, hold your horses—and your wallets—until the legal ink has dried and the paperwork mountain has been climbed by sherpas in three-piece suits.
