Matador Technologies Inc. (MATA:TSX.V; MATAF:OTCQB), the Bitcoin Ecosystem Company, announced it had bought another 5.38 bitcoin for CA$798,000 (US$581,198). The 5.38 bitcoin was obtained at an average cost of US$107,217 per bitcoin, encompassing all charges and costs.

This purchase elevates Matador's Bitcoin reserves to roughly 69 bitcoin (and Bitcoin equivalents), strengthening its extended-term wealth preservation approach. The corporation continues functioning without debt obligations, with all Bitcoin (and Bitcoin equivalent) assets unencumbered and owned outright.

The company also retains liquid capital reserves of roughly CA$6.5 million and physical precious metal assets of 2 kilograms (about CA$319,000). Additionally, on May 29, 2025, Matador disclosed its pledge to invest in HODL Systems, a publicly listed Indian technology enterprise that employs a treasury approach incorporating digital currencies.

The investment would grant Matador up to 24.95% ownership in HODL, emphasizing the company's objective of expanding its participation in the worldwide digital asset ecosystem while preserving a robust financial foundation. The deal remains contingent upon TSX Venture Exchange authorization.

Matador continues incorporating Bitcoin into its extended-term framework, solidifying its position as a fundamental treasury holding and the preferred foundation for its Digital Gold Platform.

Gold Industry Has 'Missed Out' on Some New Investors

Matador disclosed the binding commitment agreement (LOI) with HODL earlier this month. Based on the letter's provisions, the company pledges to allocate up to US$3.2 million through a share warrant framework that would grant Matador up to 24.95% ownership position in HODL, presuming complete warrant execution.

"At Matador, we believe the next wave of global financial infrastructure will be built on digital assets," said Matador Chief Visionary Officer Mark Moss. "By aligning with HODL, we're not just expanding geographically — we're expanding the reach of the digital assets' ecosystem into a key innovation hub."

Matador "wants to be one of the first public companies focused on tokenizing real-world assets by leveraging the Bitcoin blockchain, starting with gold," wrote Don Tapscott, executive chairman of the Blockchain Research Institute and one of the world's leading authorities on technology's impact on business and society.

"The gold industry has missed out on the digitally native and newly affluent class of investors who love Bitcoin (and would perhaps love gold if given the chance)," wrote the author, who has penned 16 books, including Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies is Changing the World, with his son, Alex Tapscott. "So, gold needs to play a little catch-up."

Both the LOI and the licensing arrangement remain contingent upon TSX Venture Exchange authorization, and the allocation remains dependent on Exchange approval of the Business Modification.

"This strategic investment in HODL underscores our commitment to expanding our footprint in high-growth markets and advancing the adoption of digital asset-centric financial strategies," Chief Executive Officer Deven Soni said. "By partnering with HODL, we are poised to deliver innovative digital asset solutions to the Indian market, aligning with our mission to drive global financial inclusion through decentralized technologies."

'Grammies' Coming Soon

Matador prepares to introduce its digital precious metal product soon. Its digital asset infrastructure will commence with a precious metal-centered product on the Bitcoin network within the upcoming months and will showcase "Grammies," 1-gram portions of physical precious metal connected to digital inscriptions utilizing Bitcoin ordinals.

Matador indicated it anticipates the Grammies product representing the initial offering among multiple products focused on precious metals and digital inscription, with silver and alternative metals considered for subsequent phases.

The company additionally observed that as part of asset diversification methodology, it continues accumulating both Bitcoin and physical precious metals.

Matador's innovation combines its digital precious metal product with digital artwork on the Bitcoin blockchain. The precious metal is obtained through the Royal Canadian Mint via a partnership with Kitco and physical precious metal reserves are housed at the Mint.

The Catalyst: 2 Growing Markets

Based on Statista data, the forecasted revenue for the cryptocurrency marketplace globally will achieve an estimated US$45.3 billion during this period.

The average revenue per participant is projected at US$52.70 in 2025, and the participant count in the complete marketplace is anticipated to exceed 861 million this period as well, Statista observed.

Gold posted good gains in early U.S. trading Wednesday after a "key U.S. inflation report that did not raise any new red flags," reported Jim Wyckoff for Kitco.

The just-released consumer price index report for May saw the CPI rise 2.4%, year-on-year, right in line with market expectations and compares to up 2.3% in the April report, he said.

"The report does not suggest problematic price inflation down the road and falls into the camp of the U.S. monetary policy doves," Wyckoff wrote.

Specialists have stated the bull market in precious metals is not anticipated to diminish. Garth Friesen documented for Forbes on March 15 that DoubleLine Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Gundlach said, "I think gold will make it to US$4,000. I'm not sure that'll happen this year, but I feel like that's the measured move anticipated by the long consolidation at around US$1,800 on gold."

Ownership and Share Structure

According to the company, 65% is owned by management and insiders, including Founder and Director Donato Sferra, Vice President of Finance Geoff St. Clair, Director Richard Murphy, Soni, a strategic investor (through UTXO Management, LLC and 210K Capital, LP), Director Tyler Evans (through UTXO Management, LLC and 210K Capital, LP), and Founder Trevor Koverko, among others. 

The rest, about 35%, is retail, and includes Hive Digital with 3%, Kitco Metals with 1%, and Gold Fields Ltd. with 4%, the company said.

It has about 103.42 million shares outstanding and has a market cap of CA$136.51 million at the time of writing. It trades in a 52-week range of CA$0.11 and CA$2.02.
