The digital asset treasury movement is accelerating across public markets, but it’s still relatively rare to see an OTCQB company executing a large-scale Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
That’s exactly what Matador Technologies (OTCQB: MATAF) is attempting to do.
During a recent episode of Buffalo Fireside Chats, I sat down with Matador CEO Deven Soni alongside David Bailey, CEO of Nasdaq-listed Nakamoto (NAKA) and advisor to Matador.
The discussion explored the company’s Bitcoin treasury strategy, global expansion opportunities, and the broader thesis that Bitcoin will eventually become a core asset on corporate balance sheets worldwide.
The takeaway from the conversation was clear: Matador isn’t trying to trade Bitcoin. They’re trying to accumulate it — and build an entire capital markets strategy around it.

A $100M Facility to Accumulate Bitcoin
Matador recently secured a $100 million financing facility designed to accelerate its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
The company has laid out ambitious long-term targets:
1,000 Bitcoin by 2026
6,000 Bitcoin by 2027
For context, that would place the company among the larger public Bitcoin treasury holders globally.
According to CEO Deven Soni, the current market environment may actually create an advantage for companies with available capital.
“We definitely feel really good… When Bitcoin pulls back it creates a buying opportunity for companies that are well-capitalized and aggressive with a long-term strategy.”
Rather than trying to time the market, Matador appears focused on steady accumulation whenever capital is available.
Bitcoin as Both Treasury Asset and Operating Platform
While Bitcoin accumulation is the centerpiece of Matador’s strategy, the company is also exploring ways to generate yield and participate in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.
According to Soni, the company views Bitcoin as both:
A store of value
A technological operating layer that could support future financial products.
“Everything we do at Matador is focused on the Bitcoin ecosystem… A big part of that is Bitcoin accumulation, but we’re also looking at ways to generate yield and participate as Bitcoin scales.”
The goal is simple: Increase the company’s Bitcoin holdings over time while maintaining operational flexibility.
Expanding Bitcoin Access Globally — Starting with India
One of the more interesting parts of the discussion centered around Matador’s planned investment in Hodl Systems, which could open Bitcoin exposure to one of the world’s largest emerging markets.
India represents a massive potential market for digital assets:
Hundreds of millions of brokerage accounts
Over 1 billion mobile phone users
Rapid growth in retail investing
Matador believes the right financial vehicle could unlock enormous demand.
“India is an incredibly important market… We expect Hodl to open up Bitcoin investing for every person with a brokerage account there.”
If successful, the move could position Matador at the center of Bitcoin’s expansion into a massive global investor base.
The Role of Nakamoto CEO David Bailey
David Bailey — CEO of Nakamoto (NASDAQ: NAKA) and a long-time Bitcoin industry figure — also joined the conversation.
Bailey explained that his involvement with Matador stems from the team’s experience and conviction in the Bitcoin thesis.
“What we’re trying to do with these Bitcoin securities is make Bitcoin as easy as possible for people to get exposure to, anywhere in the world.”
He emphasized that the companies that succeed in the digital asset treasury era will be those that execute consistently over long time horizons.
Why the Team Matters
One of the strongest themes of the interview was the experience of the leadership team.
Matador’s roster includes several veterans of the digital asset industry, including Trevor Koverko, known for founding:
Polymath https://www.polymath.network/
Polymesh https://polymesh.network/
According to Bailey, experience in the volatile world of crypto markets is invaluable.
“You want to bet on people who have been around for quite a while… We’ve been buying Bitcoin at $10, $100, $1,000 — and we’ll be buying it at $1 million.”
In other words, the strategy is not about short-term price moves.
It’s about long-term conviction and continuing to build a team of proven leaders that know how to execute.
Risk Management and Custody
Despite the aggressive accumulation strategy, Matador emphasized that risk management is a priority.
The company currently relies on institutional custody providers such as BitGo and takes a conservative approach to yield generation after observing failures like FTX and Celsius.
The goal is to grow the balance sheet without risking the core asset.
A Potential Nasdaq Uplisting
Matador has also taken steps toward uplisting to a major U.S. exchange, filing a Form 20-F as part of the process.
Management indicated that regulatory approval timelines vary, but the company is working toward a potential uplisting within the coming quarters.
If successful, that move could:
Expand institutional visibility
Increase liquidity
Open the door to larger capital pools
The Bigger Thesis: Bitcoin on Every Balance Sheet
Perhaps the most interesting takeaway from the interview was the broader macro thesis behind Matador’s strategy.
According to Bailey, the movement toward corporate Bitcoin treasuries is only beginning.
“Bitcoin is coming to every public balance sheet in every market on the planet… it’s the march of inevitability.”
If that thesis plays out, companies that accumulate early and consistently could benefit enormously over the coming decade.
BFC Takeaway
Matador Technologies is attempting something bold in the OTC markets:
Building a public company balance sheet centered around Bitcoin accumulation and global financial access.
Whether the company ultimately reaches its ambitious targets remains to be seen. But the
strategy aligns with a growing trend across public markets:
Bitcoin treasury companies positioning themselves for the next phase of digital asset adoption.
And if the Matador team is right, we may still be very early in that story.
