Big news out of MemeStrategy: their highly-watched Rights Issue just wrapped up and the results are wild. --------- 1/ Oversubscribed by 964% The company offered ~122.6M new shares to existing holders on a 1-for-2 basis. They received over 1.3 billion share applications. That’s 1,064% demand for what was on offer oversubscribed by nearly 10x. Raised Capital: ~HK$153M ($19.6M) According to prior filings, this capital is earmarked for business expansion. It’s now up to MemeStrategy to show what exactly that means. --------- 2/ Shareholding Structure Remains Intact Ray Chan, via Home Office Development Ltd, maintains 64.31% control, unchanged from before. Public holders now own the remaining 35.69% of shares. That means: No dilution of founder control. But also, no shift in power dynamic or new strategic investors entering through this round. --------- 3/ Share Price Reaction: +5.28% Post-announcement, MemeStrategy’s stock rose to HKD 3.19, gaining over 5% on the day. That shows positive short-term sentiment. Investors seem to be betting on two things: The capital raise strengthens the balance sheet. The demand signals institutional or strategic confidence. --------- 4/ So What’s Next? i/ What’s Working: - The raise was successful, and demand was overwhelming. - Market reaction is positive at least for now. - The upcoming issuance of shares (trading begins Aug 11) may bring renewed attention. ii/ What Needs Watching: - Execution risk: The company has not yet disclosed concrete plans for deploying the funds. - Communication: MemeStrategy and Memeland still haven’t clearly explained how this public-side raise ties back to product-side developments. --------- 5/ Connection to Memeland? This won’t directly pump NFT floors or MEME token price. But indirectly: - It strengthens the corporate side of the ecosystem (MemeStrategy is the HKEX-listed vehicle). - It gives them more resources to push whatever their next move is whether it's in commerce, entertainment, or finance. In short, this was a win. Now the pressure is on the team to turn it into momentum not just money in the bank. Because if nothing material comes from this raise. People won’t forget how much they just over-subscribed. Let’s see what they do next 🏴‍☠️
