Webus Files Form 6-K with SEC Filing for Treasury Operations
Webus filed a Form 6-K with the SEC for its $300 million XRP-focused treasury. The company alluded to its agreement with Samara Alpha Management towards establishing a strategic framework for potential future digital asset operations, which will focus on XRP.
In his latest X post, XRP lawyer Bill Morgan also commented on Webus’s Form 6-K filing concerning its Delegated Digital-Asset Management Agreement with the SEC-registered investment adviser. Morgan noted,
Webus has filed its form 6-K with the SEC after signing the previous day a Delegated Digital-Asset Management Agreement with a delegated manager to establish a strategic framework for potential future digital asset treasury operations, which it asserts are focused on XRP management and an authorised mandate cap of up to $300M.
On May 30, CoinGape reported Webus’ plans to raise $300 million through multiple non-equity financing sources to establish an XRP reserve. The platform is building a blockchain infrastructure on the XRP network to reduce delays and fees in international transactions.
Webus Partners with Samara Alpha Management
On June 2, Webus announced its collaboration with Samara Alpha Management, a leading SEC-registered investment adviser. The joint venture aims to set a strategic framework for future digital asset treasury operations. Under the Agreement, Samara Alpha will serve as Webus’s exclusive digital asset manager, with a mandate cap of up to $300 million.
Commenting on the platform’s vision, Nan Zheng, Chief Executive Officer of Webus, stated,
This Agreement defines a clear structure for trusted digital asset management in the future. As we continue to evaluate innovative approaches to treasury management, establishing this framework with a regulated, institutional-grade partner provides us with strategic optionality while maintaining prudent controls.
Webus isn’t the only company exploring XRP for corporate use. Another Nasdaq-listed company VivoPower has launched an XRP-focused treasury strategy with a $121 million raise to build an XRP reserve.
Driven by these significant developments, the XRP price has seen a notable uptick of 3.3% over the past day. Currently trading at $2.25, the token has witnessed increasing traders’ sentiment, evidenced by the 23% surge in the trading volume.
