This acquisition is conditional on shareholder approval, with Jonathan Bixby joining Tiger’s board as Executive Director, Head of Technology Projects upon completion.
Bixby Technology will focus on identifying and investing in high-growth technology enterprises, offering incubation services, mentorship, and project participation in line with Tiger's existing investment strategy. The company will target emerging technology products and projects, with potential returns structured as equity, securities, memecoins, or digital assets, in addition to the traditional carry interest models.
In tandem with the acquisition, Tiger Royalties has raised £3 million before expenses through a fundraising initiative, offering 3,000,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at 0.1 pence per share.
