Upon impact, millions of jobs will be destroyed. Financial security will disappear. And economic despair will be pervasive.We don’t have to accept this fate.ProCap Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq: BRR) (“ProCap Financial” or the “Company”) today announced its plan to become the first publicly traded agentic finance firm and unveiled its mission to “help independent investors make money.” ProCap Financial believes it is imperative to harness the power of artificial intelligence to create financial abundance for every human on earth before artificial intelligence creates financial pain for those same people.ProCap Financial’s solution to the existential threat of AI is to build the most accurate and valuable AI models and agents for finance. With an army of efficient AI agents, rather than thousands of human employees, the Company will be able to offer unique products and services to help independent investors create personal wealth.To execute on this plan, ProCap Financial has entered into an agreement to acquire CFO Silvia, Inc. (“Silvia”), a leading AI agent lab exclusively focused on finance. Silvia’s consumer product is free for all users and currently has proprietary AI agents answering queries from digital-native, wealthy users.Since its public launch in May 2025, Silvia has achieved the following milestones:<ul><li>More than $30 billion in assets on the platform</li><li>Average user has a net worth exceeding $2.5 million</li><li>Average user has connected 12+ accounts</li><li>94% of users interact with Silvia’s AI features</li></ul>“The most powerful agentic AI companies are being built behind closed doors in private markets, accessible to only a small group of insiders, leaving public investors on the sidelines,” said Anthony Pompliano, Chairman and CEO of ProCap Financial. “We are excited to change that by bringing an agentic AI platform into the public markets through this transaction, while at the same time giving independent investors direct access to technology designed to help them make money. Our goal is simple: deliver superhuman intelligence to everyday investors so they can make money.”Compelling benefits of BRR moving forward:<ul><li>First publicly traded agentic finance firm: A modern finance firm that prioritizes automation and AI agents instead of human headcount.</li><li>Retail access to a fast-growing start-up: Silvia is an incredibly fast-growing AI platform that places ProCap Financial at the intersection of the two most powerful forces in finance: AI and Bitcoin.</li><li>5,000+ Bitcoin on Company balance sheet: Bitcoin continues to serve as part of long-term capital allocation strategy</li><li>Shareholder-friendly deal structure: Consideration for this transaction only benefits Silvia shareholders if ProCap Financial's stock price increases by more than 400%, aligning incentives with the interests of public shareholders.</li></ul>Mr. Pompliano continued, “Everyone is underestimating how destructive AI will be. At ProCap Financial, we are laser-focused on winning the arms race against the machines. We must act now to help many more people build wealth before this technology inflicts economic pain and destruction. This is one of the most critical challenges of our time.”Transaction DetailsOn February 8, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement (“Agreement”) with Silvia pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Silvia, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s shareholders (the “Proposed Transaction”).Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will acquire Silvia in an all-stock transaction, which is subject to the Company achieving significant equity milestones, namely, 50% of the equity consideration is subject to a lockup until the Company’s stock price reaches $9.00. The remaining 50% of the equity consideration is forfeited if the Company’s stock price does not cross $9.00 per share in the first five years.The acquisition is subject to a shareholder vote, which is currently expected to occur by the end of the first quarter of 2026. If approved, the Proposed Transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter.Following the close of the Proposed Transaction, Shain Noor, Silvia’s Co-Founder, will assume the role of Chief Technology Officer for ProCap Financial, responsible for growing the Silvia product and overseeing all technology products across the Company.Updated Company Balance SheetAs of today, the Company has 5,007 Bitcoin, $72 million in cash, and $100 million outstanding from its convertible note offering, which was reduced from $235 million upon settlement of the repurchase.ProCap Financial will be releasing fiscal year December 31, 2025 earnings on February 18, 2026 after market close.
