Superstate Founder's Acquisition of Liquor Company for Cryptocurrency Treasury Plan Thwarted by "Poison Pill" Strategy

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/07/18 03:02:11

BlockBeats News, July 18th, according to The Block, Superstate founder and Compound founder Robert Leshner's experimental hostile takeover plan of a "low-cap" company — aimed at transforming its business into a cryptocurrency purchasing giant — seems to have been partially thwarted due to a "poison pill" strategy implementation.


On July 14th, Leshner announced that he had acquired 56.9% of the company's shares through open-market purchases, becoming the majority shareholder of this "low-cap and somewhat historically complex" alcoholic beverage company named LQR House Inc. (stock code: YHC).


At the time, the founder of Compound and Superstate stated that he planned to replace the board of directors and "help the company explore new strategies," including holding a significant amount of cryptocurrency. This move appears to be part of a growing trend among publicly traded companies to establish a cryptocurrency treasury through equity and debt financing arrangements.

A certain Smart Money bought 2172 ETH, approximately $7.46 million.
The crypto market rose across the board, MAG7.ssi rose by more than 6%, and the PayFi sector rose by 17.06%
