Ex-Kraken Execs’ $42M Real Estate & Crypto Bombshell 💥

by

Dreadfully exciting AI-powered commercial real estate outfit—Janover, Inc.—has apparently charmed its way into raising a dainty little sum of about $42 million. Yes, you read that right, $42 million—precisely the kind of number that prompts one to double-check one’s mascara and exclaim, “Where’s my confetti cannon?!” The cast of investors includes the likes of Pantera Capital, Kraken, and Arrington Capital. And we’re all pretending to be shocked, obviously.

Imagine the drama: The notes were peddled in a private offering under the oh-so-glamorous Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, plus a splash of Regulation D. One can only assume a dizzying swirl of documents and perhaps a baffled intern or two.

Now, these convertible notes, dear diary, toddle along bearing a 2.5% annual interest rate—tickled pink to be paid quarterly, naturally! They plan on bowing out (maturing, if you will) on April 6, 2030, presumably wearing subtle eye makeup and a tasteful goodbye wave.

At any point before their grand finale, these notes can morph into common stock if Janover’s market cap hits $100 million on the day before conversion (talk about being a tad demanding). The price will get locked on the very first day the company touches that magical $100 million, with a minimum of $4.81—no cheap date here, my friends. Meanwhile, the warrants attached to each $1,000 of notes purchased come with a saucy invitation to snap up about 8.333 shares at $120 a pop and 6.666 more at $150 each. Honestly, it’s enough to make you consider all your questionable life choices—particularly the ones not paying dividends.

Brace yourself for more: Janover has made a grand declaration that it aims to seize digital assets using this fabulous injection of capital, starting with the glittery realm of Solana (SOL). One can almost picture them skipping majestically through crypto-land in search of digital treasure, emojis at the ready.

Finally, because apparently a spoonful of irony is essential: those very executives who used to stroll the halls of Kraken are now perched atop this commercial real estate firm. Will real estate be all “Location, location, location!” or “Crypto, crypto, crypto!” by next Tuesday? Stay tuned, darlings. After all, who said finance can’t be spiced with a little dramatic flair and a winking emoji? 😉
