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.

Significance
This is MetaDAO's second attempt at this OTC trade with Theia (first proposal failed). The proposal passed, demonstrating futarchy's ability to approve strategic fundraising with premium pricing when value-add justification is clear. Theia's commitment to active governance participation and research distribution addresses a key need for MetaDAO: sophisticated market participants who can provide liquidity and credibility to futarchy markets.
The $500K capital injection was earmarked for hiring senior engineering talent, seeding liquidity on new markets, and expanding business development to onboard more DAOs. The premium pricing (14% above spot) suggests the market valued Theia's strategic contributions beyond pure capital.
