Webus International Limited, a China-based Nasdaq-listed AI-driven mobility solutions provider, filed a Form 6-K with the US SEC, as part of its strategic collaboration with Samara Alpha Management LLC to manage up to $300 million in XRP.
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.
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.
