# 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 at $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 expertise as strategic value-add beyond capital.

Theia Research proposed to acquire 370.370 META tokens from the MetaDAO Treasury for $500,000 USDC at $1,350 per token, representing a 14% premium to spot price. The proposal included a 12-month linear vest through Streamflow and commitments to active governance participation, research publication, roadshow support, and policy guidance. This was Theia's second proposal to MetaDAO after an initial attempt.

|
||||
- **Premium:** 14% above spot price at proposal time
|
||||
- **Vesting:** 12-month linear vest via Streamflow
|
||||
|
||||
## Significance
|
||||
This is MetaDAO's second attempt at this OTC deal with Theia (first proposal failed). The 14% premium and strategic partnership terms demonstrate investor willingness to pay above-market for concentrated positions in futarchy infrastructure. Theia's commitment to active governance participation and research publication represents a shift from passive token holding to engaged ecosystem development.
|
||||
This proposal demonstrates MetaDAO's ability to execute strategic OTC deals with institutional investors at premium valuations. The 14% premium and structured vesting indicate market confidence in META's long-term value. Theia's value-add commitments (governance participation, research, roadshows, policy support) represent a model for strategic investor relationships beyond pure capital provision.
|
||||
|
||||
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" — treating OTC sales as operational funding rather than pure treasury management.
|
||||
The proposal included extensive references from other portfolio companies (Kamino, Metaplex) and MetaDAO founders, suggesting institutional validation of Theia's strategic partner model. The $500K capital injection was earmarked for hiring senior engineering talent, seeding market liquidity, and expanding business development.

extraction_notes: "This is a straightforward governance proposal documenting an OTC token sale. The proposal itself contains no novel mechanism insights or arguable claims about futarchy — it's a standard fundraise decision. All extractable content is factual (deal terms, timeline, participant statements) and belongs in entity timeline entries. The 14% premium and strategic partnership framing are notable data points but not claims requiring separate argumentation."
