 # 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 assistance as strategic value-add beyond capital.

 - **Proposer:** proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2
-- **Proposal Created:** 2025-01-27
-- **Resolution:** 2025-01-30
 - **Deal Terms:** 370.370 META at $1,350/token = $500,000 USDC

 ## Significance
-This is MetaDAO's second attempt at an OTC deal with Theia (first proposal failed). The 14% premium demonstrates investor willingness to pay above-market for strategic positioning in futarchy infrastructure. Theia's commitment to active governance participation and research publication represents a shift from passive treasury sale to strategic partnership model. The proposal explicitly frames the $500K as enabling runway extension, market experimentation capital, and growth spending (additional senior engineer, liquidity seeding, business development).
+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.
 
-Theia's value proposition centers on active futarchy market participation, research distribution to liquid funds, and policy navigation support. The proposal includes testimonials from Kamino and Metaplex founders as social proof of Theia's portfolio company value-add.
+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.
