Summary
Twenty One Capital's new CEO Raphael Zagury issued a shareholder letter outlining an ambitious strategic transformation from Bitcoin treasury to Bitcoin-native operating company.
The plan centers on five priorities executed in sequence: completing corporate governance and controls, building and acquiring operating businesses, developing capital markets capabilities around Bitcoin as asset and collateral, pursuing M&A opportunities as the industry reprices, and building a Bitcoin-backed lending business.
Zagury explicitly models the approach on Berkshire Hathaway's structure of a strong balance sheet supporting independent operating companies with disciplined capital allocation. The letter directly addresses shareholder concerns about valuation, acknowledging the stock trades at a material discount to the company's Bitcoin holdings and characterizing this gap as a potential capital misallocation. With Tether as controlling shareholder, Zagury emphasizes the advantages of that relationship while committing to rigorous related-party transaction governance. The company strengthened its board with two independent directors, including a new Audit Committee chair. Management commits to quarterly shareholder letters and a fuller update later in 2026 as it executes this multi-year transformation.

In the year ahead, I plan on leading Twenty One with a focus on five priorities: ● First, finishing the corporate foundation: governance, controls, key hires, and reporting, in that order. ... ● Second, building and acquiring operating businesses. The architecture we look to is the one Berkshire Hathaway has proven: a strong balance sheet at the center, independent operating companies around it, and disciplined capital allocation at the parent. ... ● Third, developing capital-markets capabilities. Bitcoin is at once an asset to hold, collateral to lend against, and a foundation for financial products. ... ● Fourth, an M&A capability. Our industry is in a deep reset. Assets, teams, and infrastructure are repricing. ... ● Fifth, building towards a lending and credit business. A credit market will continue to develop around Bitcoin as it establishes itself as a global monetary asset.
CEO Zagury outlined five strategic priorities for Twenty One Capital: completing corporate governance and controls, building and acquiring operating businesses using a Berkshire Hathaway-style model, developing capital-markets capabilities around Bitcoin, pursuing M&A opportunities in a repricing industry, and building a Bitcoin-backed lending and credit business.

Although this will take time, it cannot mean a year of waiting. We expect to provide a fuller update later this year. ... I will write to you at least quarterly, and more often when there is something material to say.
