Animoca Brands is a pioneering force in the gaming industry, specializing in the development of blockchain-based games and digital assets. Founded in 2011, the company has successfully transitioned from a mobile game developer to a leader in the Web 3.0 ecosystem, capitalizing on the growing popularity of NFTs. With a remarkable revenue of $140 million from in-app transactions and an impressive $529.6 million from investments in digital assets in 2021, Animoca Brands has established itself as a formidable player, boasting a valuation of $5 billion as of January 2022.
The company is best known for its innovative titles like The Sandbox and partnerships with major brands such as Disney, Adidas, and Major League Baseball. By acquiring 16 companies since 2018, Animoca Brands has built a robust gaming ecosystem that allows players to own their in-game assets as NFTs, setting it apart from traditional gaming models. This unique approach not only enhances user engagement but also taps into the lucrative market of digital collectibles, which is projected to grow significantly in the coming years.
As the NFT landscape continues to evolve, Animoca Brands is committed to driving the future of decentralized gaming. With a focus on expanding its portfolio and investing in early-stage NFT-related companies, the company aims to lead the charge in creating an open metaverse where users can truly own their digital experiences.
When investment opportunities become available for Animoca Brands, they would typically be structured through US-based, bankruptcy-remote Delaware SPVs. As an investor, you would become a limited partner in a fund that indirectly holds shares of the company. This page is for expressing interest in future opportunities, not for making actual investments.
Direct investment into high-demand private companies like Animoca Brands often requires $50M+ in capital. Our SPV structure gives you access at lower minimums by pooling capital and investing through intermediaries that already hold equity.
The minimum investment typically starts from $10,000, though it may vary depending on the deal size and available allocations.
Once the SPV is fully funded and the shares are secured, units will be allocated to your account and you'll be notified. This typically takes 2–3 weeks post close date.
Liquidity is not guaranteed. However, exits may occur through the following avenues:
(a) resale through our partner's Alternative Trading System (ATS) after a holding period,
(b) secondary market transactions,
(c) a future IPO of Animoca Brands or its subsidiaries, or
(d) an acquisition of the company.
Key risks include equity risk (share value decline) and liquidity risk (limited tradability of private shares). As with any private market investment, capital loss is possible.
Taxation is treated the same as investing in US-listed stocks. Long-term capital gains (after 24 months) are taxed at 12.5%. Short-term gains are taxed as per your income tax slab.
All investments are made through SEC-compliant SPVs under Regulation S. The structure is similar to those used by leading US platforms like EquityZen and Forge.
