Republic Secures $100M Zero-Interest Convertible Loan to Buy Ethereum
Republic Technologies has secured a $100 million zero-interest convertible loan specifically to buy Ether, part of a financing approach that lets the company increase its crypto holdings without immediate equity issuance. The deal’s zero-interest feature and convertible structure are notable — the conversion option could be exercised later, but the arrangement as structured may reduce the near-term dilution existing shareholders would otherwise face from a direct equity raise.
The transaction matters for both markets and corporate treasury trends: it signals continued institutional appetite for ETH and could add buying pressure to the token, while offering Republic a way to expand its crypto exposure with limited immediate shareholder impact. Investors should watch the conversion terms and timing, since eventual conversion could still dilute equity, even if the upfront structure delays or lessens that effect.
