MOGO ADDS TO STRATEGIC INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO WITH MINORITY INVESTMENT IN GEMINI

Mogo Inc. has made a new minority investment in Gemini's recently completed $400-million (U.S.) financing, which was led by Morgan Creek Digital. Gemini, founded by brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, is one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the U.S. market.

The investment in Gemini adds to Mogo's growing portfolio of strategic investments focused on the expanding ecosystem that Mogo is operating in, including crypto, gaming and the emerging metaverse. At the last quarter-end, the company's digital assets and investments (including Mogo's book value of its investments in Coinsquare) totalled approximately $150-million. The portfolio includes investments in:

  • Coinsquare, one of Canada's leading crypto platforms (of which Mogo owns approximately 39 per cent);
  • Tetra Trust, Canada's first qualified custodian for cryptocurrency assets;
  • Enthusiast Gaming, a fast-growing media platform for video game and e-sports fans to connect and engage worldwide;
  • Eleven Gaming, a Toronto-based professional e-sports organization;
  • Tiidal Gaming, a professional e-sports, betting and entertainment organization;
  • The portfolio also includes investments in bitcoin and ethereum.

"Over the past year or more, we have been migrating our investment portfolio from legacy investments into businesses within our broader ecosystem that have significant stand-alone growth potential and, equally important, bring strategic value to Mogo and deepen our expertise in areas that we believe are increasingly relevant for a next-gen fintech platform and digital wallet," said Greg Feller, president and chief financial officer of Mogo.
