Metavesco, Inc. announced that its Regulation A offering has reached approximately 99% subscription, a notable achievement given the offering was priced at market value rather than at a discount. The company's shares were trading at approximately double the original offering price of $0.0008 per share as of the announcement, representing an uncommon outcome for an OTC-listed issuer that maintained pricing alignment with market conditions.
CEO Ryan Schadel emphasized the difficulty of raising capital on OTC markets without discounting shares, noting that most OTC offerings require significant discounts, lack transparency, or fail to reach completion. He highlighted the structural challenges facing OTC issuers, who operate under similar regulatory obligations as listed companies but without equivalent infrastructure for investor engagement, consistent communication, or long-term shareholder development.
The successful capital raise provides Metavesco with increased financial flexibility to execute operating and platform initiatives. Management believes this strengthened capital position improves execution certainty and alignment with long-term shareholders, allowing deliberate investment in product development, infrastructure, and strategic opportunities. The company attributes this outcome to clear communication, consistent engagement, and treating shareholders as long-term co-owners.
This experience directly informed the development of OTCfi ACCESS, a platform designed to provide OTC issuers with tools to communicate more effectively with shareholders, understand investor engagement, and build durable shareholder bases over time. Schadel described MVCO as the case study that proves out the premier platform of the OTCfi ecosystem, illustrating how issuer-focused infrastructure can improve outcomes in the OTC markets.
The company emphasized that market outcomes are not guaranteed and depend on various factors including market conditions and issuer-specific execution. This announcement follows the company's previous qualification of its Regulation A offering in July, with subscription interest coming from both existing and new shareholders, including several larger retail investors.

The implications of this development extend beyond Metavesco's immediate capital position. For the broader OTC market, this demonstrates that alternative approaches to capital formation can succeed without the traditional discounting that has characterized these markets. The development of platforms like OTCfi ACCESS, informed by this experience, could potentially reshape how OTC issuers engage with investors and build sustainable shareholder relationships.
For investors, this announcement highlights the importance of transparent communication and consistent engagement in OTC markets, where information asymmetry has historically presented challenges. The company's approach suggests that treating shareholders as long-term partners rather than short-term participants can materially improve capital formation processes, potentially leading to more stable pricing and improved liquidity over time.
