Metavesco, Inc. CEO Ryan Schadel has purchased 142,857,142 shares of the company's common stock, a transaction disclosed through OTC Markets filings that signals strong management confidence as the company enters what it describes as a critical execution phase for its OTCfi ecosystem. This substantial investment by leadership comes as Metavesco prepares to launch multiple initiatives across infrastructure, credit, media, and operations during the first quarter of 2026.
The company's Q1 2026 initiatives include forming Pulse Markets Inc. for OTC prediction markets, launching Nexus Capital LLC for credit and lending activities, and delivering what it calls the first public-company loan via Nexus to an OTC issuer. These moves represent the transition from conceptual development to practical execution for Metavesco's OTCfi ecosystem, which the company believes could achieve billion-dollar valuation potential with successful implementation.
Media and market intelligence components include the launch of OTC Squawk, a pre-market news platform for OTC marketplace participants, and progress on the OTCfi ACCESS platform with 20 OTC companies testing the beta version and the first paying customer providing revenue validation. The company also reports 20 OTC companies now hold OTCfi on their balance sheets, indicating growing adoption within the OTC community.
Operating business initiatives include expanding Bitcoin mining operations to 35 PH/s hashrate, maintaining Epic Labor subsidiary operations above break-even without additional outside capital, and conducting a strategic review of Boring Brew with plans to produce tangible results or seek exit by quarter's end. The company also mentions a final major platform launch currently in development, details of which will be announced later.
According to Schadel, 2025 regulatory shifts at the SEC created opportunities that "simply were not viable under the prior regulatory environment," allowing Metavesco to accelerate development of the OTCfi Ecosystem after shelving the concept in 2023 due to regulatory concerns. The company has begun presenting its OTCfi ecosystem strategy to investors through a dedicated investor presentation available at https://metavesco.net.
Metavesco describes OTCfi as "the Community Token of the OTC" designed to bring transparency, liquidity, and social energy on chain, built on Solana and intended to become the digital asset treasury token of choice for OTC issuers. The company is developing a suite of tools within the OTCfi Ecosystem for OTC issuers and investors, with more information available at otcfi.io.
Management views 2026 as the year OTCfi transitions from early development to ecosystem-level relevance, with focus on disciplined execution, measured scaling, expanding platform adoption, deploying additional capital through Nexus funding partnerships, and growing recurring revenue across OTCfi platforms. These Q1 initiatives represent the foundation for what the company describes as a broader, multi-year strategy to establish OTCfi as core infrastructure for the OTC marketplace.
