Arcane Crypto (ARCANE): Initiation - A play on the digital asset revolution

Since 2018, Arcane Crypto has built a portfolio of diverse early-stage businesses active in the emerging cryptocurrency sector. As a result, it now represents an appealing option on digital assets adoption among banks and financial investors, which has recently gained significant traction. Its recent listing on the Nasdaq First North exchange following a reverse takeover provides it with an additional funding route to pursue its 'buy and build' strategy.

 

Due to Arcane Crypto's early development stage, we refrain from valuing the group. However, as a broad reference point, we discuss the valuations of comparable mature businesses. We also note that the subscription price for the new shares negotiated with investors in the directed issue completed in January 2021 was SEK0.50 per share. At the same time, the subscription price as part of the Kaupang (March 2021) and Trijo (April 2021; deal completion in progress) deals stood at c SEK0.11 and c SEK0.27 per share, respectively.

Arcane Crypto - Building a trusted gateway to digital assets

Arcane Crypto continues to build its unified platform as a single access point to several proprietary digital asset solutions.

Meanwhile, its Q122 results were affected by the muted activity in the digital asset markets (Kaupang, LN Markets), and high electricity prices in Southern Norway (Arcane...

The latter is now fully ramped up after deployment of the second batch of miners in Q122. These operations generated a robust average gross margin of 65% in Q421.
