Cantor Equity Partners Inc., currently trading under the ticker CEP, is now live in the markets as it works toward completing its merger with Twenty One Capital.
CEO Jack Mallers recently emphasized the firm’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, stating:
“We do intend to raise as much capital as we possibly can to acquire Bitcoin… We will never have Bitcoin per share negative. At least that is our intent. Our intent is to make sure when you are a shareholder of Twenty One that you are getting wealthier in Bitcoin terms.”

In an also recent interview, Jack Mallers described Twenty One Capital’s mission clearly:
“We want to be the ultimate vehicle for the capital markets to participate in Bitcoin…building on top of Bitcoin. So we are a Bitcoin business at our core. It’s our founding, it’s in our name, it’s on our board, it’s at our leadership.”
At launch, the company will hold over 42,000 Bitcoin, instantly making it one of the largest corporate holders of BTC worldwide – only behind industry giants like Strategy.
