Metavesco, Inc. CEO Ryan Schadel has purchased 142,857,142 shares of the company's common stock, demonstrating management's confidence as the diversified holding company enters what it describes as a critical execution phase for its OTCfi ecosystem. The transaction details are available in the company's OTC Markets filing for shareholder review.
The importance of this development lies in what it signals about the company's strategic direction and the potential transformation of Over-the-Counter market infrastructure. When a CEO makes a substantial personal investment of this magnitude, it typically indicates strong belief in the company's near-term prospects and execution capabilities. For shareholders and market observers, this move suggests Metavesco's leadership is aligning their financial interests directly with the success of their ambitious OTCfi initiatives.
Metavesco's first quarter of 2026 focuses on execution across infrastructure, credit, media, and operating business initiatives. The company is forming Pulse Markets Inc., a dedicated subsidiary for OTC prediction markets and liquidity experiments, with initial CFTC registration efforts starting by the end of the calendar quarter. Additionally, the launch of Nexus Capital, LLC will house OTCfi Nexus credit and lending activity, with the first public-company loan via Nexus marking the transition from concept to execution.
In media and market intelligence, the OTC Squawk platform goes live as a pre-market news and commentary platform built specifically for the OTC marketplace. The OTCfi ACCESS platform has reached significant milestones with 20 OTC companies actively testing the platform, its first paying customer providing revenue validation, and the launch of an ACCESS Influencer Portal enabling issuer-to-creator engagement. Notably, 20 OTC companies are now holding OTCfi on their balance sheets, indicating continued adoption of OTCfi as a strategic asset within the OTC community.
The company's operating businesses show strategic progress, with Bitcoin mining operations expanding to 35 PH/s, providing direct exposure to digital asset infrastructure while contributing to balance-sheet diversification. Epic Labor is operating above break-even, demonstrating the company's ability to scale this subsidiary without additional outside capital. Boring Brew is undergoing a strategic review to produce tangible results or seek exit by the end of the calendar quarter. An additional initiative, described as the final major platform launch in the OTCfi Ecosystem, remains in development with details to be announced later.
These Q1 initiatives represent the foundation for a broader, multi-year strategy to establish OTCfi as core infrastructure for the OTC marketplace. Management believes successful execution in early 2026 positions the company to scale issuer adoption, expand credit activity, and increase recurring platform revenue throughout the year. According to the company, 2025 was transformative due to meaningful regulatory shifts at the SEC and a clearer framework for blockchain-enabled infrastructure, allowing acceleration of the OTCfi Ecosystem development. The company has begun presenting its OTCfi ecosystem strategy to investors through a dedicated investor presentation available at https://metavesco.net.
Looking ahead, Metavesco's focus for 2026 is disciplined execution and measured scaling. With foundational infrastructure in place, the company intends to expand platform adoption, deploy additional capital through Nexus funding partnerships, and grow recurring revenue across its OTCfi platforms. Management views 2026 as the year OTCfi transitions from early development to ecosystem-level relevance. OTCfi is described as the Community Token of the OTC, built on Solana and designed to become the digital asset treasury token of choice for OTC issuers.

The broader implications of Metavesco's execution phase extend beyond the company itself to potentially reshape how OTC markets operate. If successful, the OTCfi ecosystem could introduce greater transparency, liquidity, and blockchain-based efficiency to a market segment that has traditionally operated with less structure than major exchanges. For investors, the combination of CEO confidence through substantial share purchases and concrete execution milestones suggests a company positioning itself for significant growth in a specialized but potentially lucrative market niche.
