      Bit Brother Ltd. (BTB) Stock Plummets Following Pricing of Registered Direct Offering - Stocks Telegraph

      Bit Brother Ltd. (BTB) stock prices plummeted by 47% shortly after market trading commenced on July 16th, 2021, bringing the price per share down to USD$1.06 early on in the trading day.

      Registered Direct Offering

      July 16th, 2021 saw the company announce having entered into a securities purchase agreement with various accredited investors. The agreement will see the company sell USD$22.5 million in ordinary shares and warrants in a registered direct offering. The offering will consist of the sale of 15 million ordinary shares and warrants that will facilitate the purchase of an additional 15 million shares.

      Offered Warrants

      The warrants will be exercisable immediately, with an expire date of five years from the date of issuance. A single unit consisting of one ordinary share and one corresponding warrant has been priced at USD$1.50, with the offering expected to generate USD$22.5 million before the deduction of expenses related to the offering.

      Acquiring Angelo’s Pizza

      July 13th, 2021 saw the company announce having entered into a non-binding letter of intent which will see it acquire a majority 51% stake in Angelo’s Pizza. The family-style boutique restaurant has been in business for 30 years, with a combined history of 120 years as it pivoted to a chain restaurant. Over this time, the company has garnered a strong brand name for itself, consolidated by excellent customer reviews. Following the completion of the acquisition, the chain restaurants will begin accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment.

      Global Expansion

      Angelo’s Pizza intends to expand its market footprint across burgeoning international markets, such as Canada, Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand. The overseas branches will allocate resources towards the provision of takeout and delivery services, given the limited dine-in capacity driven by the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic. The company expects to open up to 1000 branches around the world over the next five years. All of the branches, barring those in China, will be accepting Bitcoin in a big to tie its wagon to the cryptocurrency horse that is steadily increasing in momentum.

      Future Outlook for BTB

      Armed with the influx of capital from its registered direct offering and the acquisition of such an established restaurant chain, BTB is poised to capitalize on the opportunities afforded to it. The company is keen to push for the continued market proliferation of its chains, while investors are hopeful for significant and sustained increases in shareholder value over the long term.
