+# MetaDAO: Engage in $500,000 OTC Trade with Theia [2]
+
+## Summary
+Theia Research, a liquid token fund manager, proposed acquiring 370.370 META tokens from the MetaDAO Treasury for $500,000 USDC ($1,350 per token), representing a 14% premium to spot price. Theia committed to active governance participation, research publication, investor roadshows, and policy support. The tokens vest linearly over 12 months via Streamflow.

+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Passed
+- **Proposer:** proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2
+- **Resolution:** 2025-01-30
+- **Amount:** $500,000 USDC for 370.370 META
+- **Premium:** 14% above spot at proposal time
+
+## Significance
+This is MetaDAO's second attempt at a Theia treasury sale (first proposal failed) and represents the first documented institutional fund investment in MetaDAO's treasury. Theia's investment thesis frames MetaDAO as infrastructure for 'the Internet Financial System' and commits resources beyond capital: active market participation, research distribution to liquid funds, and policy navigation support. The 14% premium and 12-month vesting suggest institutional investors value strategic positioning in futarchy infrastructure despite liquidity constraints. Proph3t noted the $500K would 'extend runway, experiment more, and/or spend more on growth.'
