Metavesco, Inc. CEO Ryan Schadel has purchased 142,857,142 shares of the company's common stock, demonstrating management's confidence as the diversified holding company enters what it describes as a critical execution phase for its OTCfi ecosystem. The transaction details have been disclosed in the company's OTC Markets filing and are available for shareholder review.
The company's first quarter of 2026 focuses on execution across infrastructure, credit, media, and operating business initiatives. In the OTCfi and capital infrastructure segment, Metavesco will form Pulse Markets Inc., a dedicated subsidiary for OTC prediction markets and liquidity experiments, with initial CFTC registration efforts starting by the end of the calendar quarter. The company will also launch Nexus Capital, LLC, a wholly owned entity housing OTCfi Nexus credit and lending activity, and deliver the first public-company loan via Nexus, marking the transition from concept to execution for OTCfi-enabled credit to an OTC issuer.
In media and market intelligence, Metavesco will launch OTC Squawk, a pre-market news and commentary platform built specifically for the OTC marketplace. The company reports progress on its OTCfi ACCESS platform, with 20 OTC companies actively testing the platform, the first paying ACCESS customer providing initial revenue validation, and the launch of an ACCESS Influencer Portal enabling issuer-to-creator engagement within the OTCfi ecosystem. Additionally, 20 OTC companies are holding OTCfi on their balance sheets, indicating continued adoption of OTCfi as a strategic asset within the OTC community.
Operating business initiatives include opportunistic expansion of Bitcoin mining hashrate to 35 PH/s, providing direct exposure to digital asset infrastructure while contributing to balance-sheet diversification and long-term capital strategy. The company's Epic Labor subsidiary is operating above break-even, demonstrating Metavesco's ability to scale this business without additional outside capital. A strategic review of Boring Brew will produce tangible results or seek exit by the end of the calendar quarter. The company also plans to launch a final major platform in the OTCfi Ecosystem currently in development, to be announced at a later date.
These Q1 initiatives represent the foundation for a broader, multi-year strategy to establish OTCfi as core infrastructure for the OTC marketplace. Management believes successful execution in early 2026 positions the company to scale issuer adoption, expand credit activity, and increase recurring platform revenue throughout the year. CEO Ryan Schadel stated that 2025 was a transformative year for Metavesco, fueled by meaningful regulatory shifts at the SEC and a clearer framework for blockchain-enabled infrastructure. These changes allowed the company to accelerate development of the OTCfi Ecosystem, a concept that was shelved in 2023 due to regulatory concerns. Schadel described OTCfi as the company's most compelling long-term growth and infrastructure opportunity, with potential billion-dollar valuation if executed at a high level.
Metavesco's focus for 2026 is disciplined execution and measured scaling. With foundational infrastructure in place, the company intends to expand platform adoption, deploy additional capital through Nexus funding partnerships, and grow recurring revenue across its OTCfi platforms. Management views 2026 as the year OTCfi transitions from early development to ecosystem-level relevance. The company has begun presenting its OTCfi ecosystem strategy to investors across the OTC community through a dedicated investor presentation available at https://metavesco.net.
OTCfi is described as the Community Token of the OTC, uniting traders, holders, and issuers to bring transparency, liquidity, and social energy on chain. Built on Solana, OTCfi is designed to become the digital asset treasury token of choice for OTC issuers. Metavesco is developing a suite of tools within the OTCfi Ecosystem for OTC issuers and investors, with more information available at https://otcfi.io. The implications of these developments extend beyond Metavesco to the broader OTC marketplace, potentially transforming how OTC companies access capital, engage with investors, and manage their digital assets through blockchain-enabled infrastructure.
