Elon Musk’s lawyer to lead $200M Dogecoin investment fund. The publicly traded company is positioned as a way to gain indirect exposure to DOGE through its shares.
According to Fortune, citing multiple sources, Musk’s longtime attorney Alex Spiro will head a new publicly listed company seeking to raise $200 million to create a Dogecoin treasury.
As reported by REDWRITER, Fortune confirmed that six investors have been approached about forming a Dogecoin treasury worth up to $200 million. Spiro, a lawyer at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, is expected to chair the company.
Alex Spiro represented Musk in the 2021 market manipulation lawsuit over his public statements about DOGE. Musk ultimately won the case in 2024.
Musk’s relationship with Dogecoin has been complex. In 2019, he called DOGE his “favorite cryptocurrency,” which helped boost its popularity. Two years later, during a Saturday Night Live appearance, he labeled Dogecoin a “hustle,” triggering a steep price drop after a hype-driven rally.
Tesla has long accepted Dogecoin as a form of payment, providing crucial support for the memecoin. Tesla currently acknowledges holding DOGE but has not disclosed its exact amount.
Another contender for the Dogecoin treasury is Bit Origin, a Nasdaq-listed company that announced plans in July to raise $500 million to build a DOGE-focused balance sheet, becoming the first public firm to do so.
