help build decentralized metaverse
Mogo’s ~ $150 million portfolio includes
strategic investments in crypto platforms, digital assets and
gaming
Mogo Inc. (NASDAQ:MOGO) (TSX:MOGO) (“Mogo” or the “Company”), a
digital payments and financial technology company, today announced
a new minority investment in Gemini’s recently completed US$400
million financing, which was led by Morgan Creek Digital. Gemini,
founded by brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, is one of the
leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the U.S. market.
The investment in Gemini adds to Mogo’s growing portfolio of
strategic investments focused on the expanding ecosystem that Mogo
is operating in, including crypto, gaming and the emerging
metaverse. At the last quarter end, the Company’s digital assets
and investments (including Mogo’s book value of its investments in
Coinsquare) totaled approximately $150 million1. The portfolio
includes investments in:
- Coinsquare, one of Canada’s leading crypto platforms (of which
Mogo owns approximately 39%).
- Tetra Trust, Canada’s first qualified custodian for
cryptocurrency assets.
- Enthusiast Gaming (NASDAQ: EGLX; TSX: EGLX), a fast-growing
media platform for video game and esports fans to connect and
engage worldwide.
- Eleven Gaming, a Toronto-based professional esports
organization.
- Tiidal Gaming (CSE:TIDL), a professional esports, betting &
entertainment organization.
- The portfolio also includes investments in Bitcoin and
Ethereum.
“Over the past year or more, we have been migrating our
investment portfolio from legacy investments into businesses within
our broader ecosystem that have significant stand-alone growth
potential and, equally important, bring strategic value to Mogo and
deepen our expertise in areas that we believe are increasingly
relevant for a next-gen fintech platform and digital wallet,” said
Greg Feller, President and CFO of Mogo.
1 Includes the fair value of the warrants to acquire up to an
additional 10% of the issued and outstanding Coinsquare shares.
