# MetaDAO: Engage in $500,000 OTC Trade with Theia [2]
## Summary
Theia Research proposed to acquire 370.370 META tokens from MetaDAO Treasury for $500,000 USDC at $1,350 per token, representing a 14% premium to spot price. The proposal included strategic partnership commitments across governance, research, token structuring, policy, and business development. Tokens vest linearly over 12 months via Streamflow.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2
- **Proposal Number:** 10
- **Completed:** 2025-01-30
- **Amount:** $500,000 USDC for 370.370 META tokens
- **Price:** $1,350 per META (14% premium to spot)
- **Vesting:** 12-month linear vest via Streamflow
## Significance
This represents institutional validation of MetaDAO's futarchy governance model from a liquid token fund manager. Theia's investment thesis explicitly cited MetaDAO's commitment to futarchy and the quality of the founding team. The premium pricing and long-term vesting demonstrate conviction in the governance mechanism beyond speculative trading.
The proposal also highlights capital allocation priorities for MetaDAO: hiring senior engineers, seeding market liquidity, and expanding business development to onboard more DAOs to the futarchy platform.

extraction_notes: "Second Theia proposal to MetaDAO (hence [2] in title). Primary extraction is the decision_market entity capturing the OTC trade structure and strategic partnership terms. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms - this is a straightforward treasury fundraise with institutional validation. Enrichments focus on confirming existing patterns (low volume in uncontested decisions) and extending understanding of adoption friction (liquidity requirements). Theia's investment thesis provides useful institutional perspective on MetaDAO's positioning."
