The proposal passed on June 30, 2024, selling 4,000 META tokens. This represented MetaDAO's second fundraising round; unlike traditional venture raises, this fundraise used MetaDAO's own futarchy mechanism to determine terms, with 20,823.5 META in public circulation post-raise (representing a circulating market cap of $7.81M at the sale price). +MetaDAO conducted its second fundraise through a futarchy-governed proposal (Fundraise 2) that passed on June 30, 2024, approving the sale of up to 4,000 META tokens at $3.75 per token with no investor discount or lockup period.

This includes details such as who is given allocation, whether to raise more than \$1.5M, how escrow is managed, et cetera. However, we would be bound to a minimum price: \$375. Given that there’d be 20,823.5 META in the hands of the public (which includes VCs + angels) after this raise, this means we would be unable to sell tokens at less than a \$7.81M valuation.
