$600 million
Digital Currency Group (DCG) today announced the completion of a debt capital raise providing a credit facility up to $600 million. Eldridge led and served as administrative agent of the credit facility, which includes a syndicate of institutional lenders and funds managed by Capital Group, Davidson Kempner Capital Management, and Francisco Partners, among others. The financing marks the company’s first entry into the debt capital markets and follows a recent $700 million secondary equity transaction led by SoftBank Group. The debt financing enhances DCG’s strategic, operational, and financial capabilities by reducing DCG’s cost of capital and fueling the growth of its investment portfolio and wholly-owned subsidiaries.
