On Tuesday, the company announced that it closed its private placement of common shares for gross proceeds of US$58 million. The raise was done at a price of US$2.34 per share or the equivalent of C$3.00 per share. The company expects to close an additional US$2 million worth once approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The result of this raise is that the company now has a cash position worth US$175 million. When combining its crypto holdings and net cash, Voyager Digital has US$225 million.

The stock has been on a relentless decline from its all-time high in March 2021, losing over 90% of its market value. Offerings of common shares are dilutive to shareholders, especially when share prices are low. As a result, it may create additional short- to medium-term headwinds for the share price.
