Singapore established Basel Medical Group (BMGL) announced plan To acquire $ 1 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) to strengthen his balance and to accelerate the expansion in the Asian markets.
Basel has also shown that the proposed transaction is being negotiated with a consortium of institutional investors and people with a high NetNet that is active in the crypto sector.
CEO of Basel, Darren Chhoa, said that the acquisition of $ 1 billion would give the company “unprecedented capacity” to perform his growth strategy of Asia.
He added that capital infusion would create one of the strongest balance sheets among Asia-oriented medical care providers, so that the mergers and acquisitions can strive and improve its financial resilience.
The company described the initiative as a “historical transaction” that would represent one of the largest Bitcoin assignments by a health care group in the Asia-Pacific region.
The announcement emphasized the intention to complete the deal within the current quarter, subject to approval of the regulations and standard closing conditions.
Transaction structure and strategic objectives
The proposed acquisition will take place via a stock-s-WAP scheme with external investors, instead of a direct cash purchase of Bitcoin from reserves. Basel stated that this model offers improved capital efficiency while retaining the liquidity for healthcare activities.
