Key Takeaways
What are the key terms of the notes?
The notes carry 8% annual interest, reducing to 5% after a NASDAQ or NYSE uplisting, and are secured by Bitcoin collateral.
What are Matador’s Bitcoin targets?
The company aims to acquire 1,000 BTC by 2026 and 6,000 BTC by 2027, ultimately holding about 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
In a significant turn of events, Matador Technologies Inc. has announced an amended $100 million secured convertible note facility with ATW Partners. The new agreement, finalized on the 3rd of November, updates the terms of their previous July 2025 deal.
This will give Matador, known as “the Bitcoin Ecosystem Company”, greater flexibility to issue convertible notes and strengthen its capital position.
Wall Street’s new Bitcoin whale
Under the amended facility, Matador Technologies plans to use the funds exclusively to purchase Bitcoin [BTC] for its corporate balance sheet.
The initial tranche of funding is set at $10.5 million. Additionally, there is a potential for $89.5 million through follow-on drawdowns, which are contingent on regulatory approvals.
In terms of financing requirements, ATW Partners may ask Matador to issue up to $46.25 million in notes before an uplisting. After the uplisting, another $28.75 million may be required.
In total, this brings the potential note issuance to $75 million.
To further align the interests of both parties, Matador will pay a 5% commitment fee on all notes issued. This arrangement supports the company’s efforts as it seeks to expand its Bitcoin holdings and pursue its long-term strategy.
With this approach, Matador Technologies plans to acquire 1,000 BTC by 2026. It wants to expand the same to 6,000 BTC by 2027 to own about 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Matador Technologies execs weigh in
Remarking on the same, Deven Soni, CEO of Matador Technologies, stated,
“This financing marks a significant step toward our long-term Bitcoin accumulation plan. It equips the Company with capital to expand our Bitcoin position while limiting near-term dilution and staying aligned with our overall capital strategy.”
Echoing similar sentiments, Mark Moss, Chief Visionary Officer of Matador Technologies, added,
“Bitcoin remains foundational to both our operating model and treasury approach. This structure advances our goal of increasing Bitcoin per share and underscores sustained institutional interest in our strategy.”
S&P rating, stock price, and more
This coincided with Strategy Inc. securing a B- issuer credit rating from S&P in Q3 2025. Meanwhile, Matador Technologies achieved a BB issuer rating in August 2025, reflecting its strengthening financial profile.
Then on the price front, Matador’s stock traded at $39.26, down 0.51%, according to Google Finance. Bitcoin hovered at $103,910.91, marking a 3.03% daily decline, per CoinMarketCap.
Yet, despite Bitcoin’s short-term dip near $107,000, accumulation remained strong within the $106K–$115K range.
