Canadian Lending Platform Mogo Adopts Bitcoin Treasury, Allocating $50 Million to Buy Bitcoin

Mogo Inc. will invest up to $50 million in Bitcoin, aligning with its financial strategy for capital preservation and product innovation.

Following a trending development, Mogo Inc., a Canadian digital wealth and lending platform, has announced a pivotal change in its corporate financial strategy.

The company’s Board of Directors has authorized the allocation of up to $50 million towards Bitcoin, a move designed to bolster its long-term capital preservation and fuel its ongoing product innovation initiatives.

This strategic decision signifies a profound alignment between Mogo’s operational framework and the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem, with Bitcoin now slated for integration into both its treasury policy and core operating platform.

Mogo Board to Adopt Bitcoin Treasury

Interestingly, in 2020, Mogo became the third company in the United States to add Bitcoin to its company assets. This was a significant step, placing it ahead of large companies like Tesla and following the path of early adopters, such as Strategy and Block.

Additionally, Mogo played a key part in creating Canada’s largest independent cryptocurrency platform by merging Coinsquare and WonderFi in 2023.

The board’s decision to allocate $50 million to Bitcoin is a direct result of Mogo’s careful financial planning. Mogo anticipates having approximately $50 million in cash and investments following the expected completion of the WonderFi and Robinhood deal in the second half of 2025.

The firm plans to gradually increase its Bitcoin investment to $50 million by making several smaller investments over time. This method carefully designs the company’s approach to ensure it always possesses sufficient working capital to keep its business running smoothly, balancing its investment strategy with its day-to-day needs.

Impact on Firm Stock

Following the unanimous board announcement to allocate $50 million on Bitcoin, the company’s stock rose by 205%. This move is part of their plan to protect their capital and develop new products over the long term.

We’re not just holding Bitcoin, we’re building a business we believe can scale to over a billion dollars in enterprise value, our goal is to grow a similarly scaled Bitcoin reserve alongside it. That dual-compounding model, operating growth plus a high-conviction Bitcoin reserve, is something few companies are positioned to achieve, Gregory Feller co-founder of Mogo asserted.

Notably, the firm intends to finance this investment using surplus cash it already has and by selling parts of its investment holdings in the future, which include shares in the US-based crypto exchange Gemini and the Canadian technology firm Hootsuite.
