DDC Enterprise (ticker DDC), the NYSE-listed entity behind the Asian food brands DayDayCook, Nona Lim, and Yai's Thai, secured capital commitments of up to $528 million to grow out its Bitcoin treasury.

The financing came from a $26 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) deal with "premier" digital asset investors and a $25 million issuance of convertible notes, in addition to a $2 million private placement and $200 million equity line of credit with Anson Funds. The firm maintains the option to raise up to $275 million more via convertible notes, according to a Tuesday release . 

DDC plans to buy bitcoin using the proceeds of this offering, with the New York-based investment bank Maxim Group LLC overseeing the transactions, the company said. 

"This maximum aggregate $528 million capital commitment marks a watershed moment for DDC," the firm's founder, chairwoman, and CEO Norma Chu said in a statement. "With premier institutions such as Anson Funds, Animoca Brands , and Kenetic Capital backing our vision, we believe we have unprecedented capacity to execute our mission of building one of the world's most valuable corporate bitcoin treasuries and becoming a top global bitcoin holder."

DDC had first announced its treasury strategy in May of this year. The firm bought 21 bitcoins valued around $2.3 million at the time by selling 254,333 shares of its class A stock. The firm then laid out plans to raise $528 million in financing in mid-June. 

According to the announcement, the firm holds 138 BTC, worth about $14.67 million, as of June 12.

DDC envisions "building the world's most valuable Bitcoin treasury," competing with other crypto treasury companies like Michael Saylor's firm Strategy . Strategy is the largest corporate holder of bitcoin and owns 597,325 BTC , or 2.84% of the total BTC supply, as of June 30. Aside from bitcoin, public firms such as DeFi Development Corporation , SharpLink Gaming , The Smarter Web Company , and others have marked plans to expand their crypto treasury holdings.
