+# MetaDAO: Engage in $500,000 OTC Trade with Theia? [2]
+
+## Summary
+Theia Research proposed to acquire 370.370 META tokens from the MetaDAO Treasury for $500,000 USDC ($1,350 per token), representing a 14% premium to spot price at proposal time. The tokens vest linearly over 12 months via Streamflow. Theia committed to active governance participation, research publication, roadshow support, and policy guidance as strategic value-add beyond capital.
+
+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Passed
+- **Proposer:** proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2
+- **Deal Terms:** 370.370 META at $1,350/token = $500,000 USDC
+- **Premium:** 14% above spot price
+- **Vesting:** 12-month linear via Streamflow
+- **Completed:** 2025-01-30
+
+## Significance
+This is MetaDAO's second attempt at this OTC trade with Theia (first proposal failed). The 14% premium demonstrates investor willingness to pay above-market for strategic positioning in futarchy governance infrastructure. Theia's commitment to active participation (governance, research, roadshows, policy) represents a shift from passive token holding to engaged ecosystem development.
+
+The proposal explicitly frames the $500K as enabling MetaDAO to "hire an additional senior engineer, seed liquidity on new markets, and expand business development operations to onboard more DAOs." This connects treasury management directly to operational capacity expansion.
+
+Theia's investment thesis treats MetaDAO as infrastructure for "the Internet Financial System" and positions futarchy as solving "a pressing need across" that system. The proposal includes portfolio company references (Kamino, Metaplex) and MetaDAO founder endorsements, suggesting institutional validation of the futarchy model.
