- CleanCore Solutions will use $175M to acquire Dogecoin as its main treasury asset.
- The company partnered with the Dogecoin Foundation and House of Doge while appointing Alex Spiro as chairman.
Nebraska-based CleanCore Solutions, known for aqueous ozone cleaning systems, shocked markets after announcing a major pivot into cryptocurrency. The company disclosed a $175 million private placement, backed by more than 80 institutional and crypto-native investors, to acquire Dogecoin (DOGE) as its primary reserve asset.
The funds will be used to purchase Dogecoin, and the token will be CleanCore’s main reserve asset. The newly appointed board chairman, Alex Spiro, Elon Musk’s long-time attorney, is the head of the initiative.
CleanCore has also partnered with the Dogecoin Foundation and its business division, House of Doge. Dogecoin Foundation Director Timothy Stebbing and House of Doge CEO Marco Margiotta will also become part of the company leadership as part of the arrangement. Margiotta will be the chief investment officer overseeing Dogecoin reserves.
House of Doge and crypto-ETF issuer 21Shares will lead the treasury governance at CleanCore. Their advisory practice includes prospective staking-style yield schemes and institutional-grade Dogecoin investment products. Margiotta described the initiative as a model of matching state corporations with cryptocurrency foundations to improve the utility of digital currencies.
Alex Spiro’s participation solidifies the company’s association with the world of Musk. Spiro, a Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan firm partner, has defended Musk against high-profile cases, such as the Dogecoin manipulation lawsuit dismissed in 2024. His appointment promises legal and strategic continuity to CleanCore Dogecoin plans.
Wave of Dogecoin Treasury Companies in 2025
CleanCore is not the only one working on a Dogecoin-backed reserve model. Other publicly traded companies have announced such strategies this year. In January, Spirit Blockchain Capital announced an intention to yield on its DOGE positions via structured investment products. Dogecoin Cash Inc., a previously existing cannabis and telehealth company, announced in July that its new subsidiary, Dogecoin Treasury Inc., had purchased 1 billion DOGE.
Bit Origin, a former Chinese pork farm that became a Bitcoin miner, also shifted course in July. The company announced a Dogecoin treasury scheme that was supported by up to $500 million in equity and convertible debt financing.
The approach of CleanCore is part of a wider move towards public companies’ incorporation of cryptocurrency. According to Architect Partners, 184 publicly-traded companies have invested in digital assets this year, with purchases amounting to close to $132 billion.
Market Impact and Dogecoin Outlook
With the ambitious approach, the stock of CleanCore fell sharply following the announcement. The stock plunged by nearly 60% during early trading, dropping from above $7.00 to near $2.80. The abrupt turn towards the traditional business of the company caused a sharp reaction among investors.
As CleanCore shares plummeted on the news, Dogecoin itself had small volatility. On Wednesday, the token was trading around $0.2127, slightly lower than the previous day, which was up 1% in 24 hours, amid wider market weakness.
Market analysts are still speculating about Dogecoin’s price trend. According to commentator DogeLord, the coin is about to have a breakout propulsion candle. His technical map shows a possible recovery starting at present above $0.21 and going to resistance at $0.34, with a long-term forecast of all-time highs at $0.75.
