Company activates strategic infrastructure expansion into digital asset sector and merchant banking operations
CHARLOTTE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hawkeye Systems Inc. (“Hawkeyeˮ or the “Companyˮ) (OTC: HWKE) (“Hawkeye”), a technology holding company, today announced a substantial capital restructuring and strategic expansion, adding $5 million in equity to its balance sheet. This capital milestone was achieved through a $2.3 million cash infusion for working capital alongside the conversion of $2.7 million in debt to equity by its majority stakeholder, Hawkeye Holdco, LLC, a private holding company led by Hawkeye Systems President David Wachsman and Chairman Martin Sumichrast. Following this transaction, Hawkeye Holdco, LLC has an approximate 90% ownership stake in the company on a fully diluted basis.
Investors participating with Hawkeye Holdco represent a number of leading digital asset pioneers and investors, including Carlos Domingo, Founder & CEO of Securitize, Trevor Koverko, Founder of Polymath and Sapien, and Michael Maloney, Board Member at BitMine Immersion Technologies (NYSE:BMNR), as well as veterans from Wall Street, such as Tom Finke, former Chairman & CEO of Barings Asset Management and “Coach Pete” D’Arruda, former two-time President of the International Association of Registered Financial Consultants and founder of Capital Financial.
With a fortified capital structure, Hawkeye is now ramping up its operations with the retention of various top-level service providers, including Wachsman LLC, American Capital Partners, ThinkEquity LLC, Blank Rome LLP, and Morrison Cohen LLP.
Building upon this operational momentum and equity infusion, Hawkeye intends to accelerate growth in its Private Equity and Merchant Banking business units and has commenced a search for world-class talent. On the private equity side, the company has initiated its evaluation of acquisition opportunities within the digital asset sector. The firm is evaluating companies that meet its investment criteria, which include substantive operational histories, high-growth potential, and track records across spaces including custody and tokenization, stablecoins and payments, and the core operational infrastructure supporting digital asset technologies. Within its merchant banking operations, Hawkeye plans to provide clients with comprehensive capital markets and corporate advisory services.
In alignment with these initiatives, Hawkeye intends to attract top-level talent to manage its Private Equity and Merchant Banking business units. Hawkeyeʼs initial focus will be to acquire companies in the digital asset space, potentially targeting custody and tokenization services, stablecoin payments, and operations and infrastructure related to these verticals. Hawkeye will also be marketing its full-service business advisory unit, which is expected to provide 24-hour media coverage and proprietary AI-enabled public and investor relations services in conjunction with its service provider, Wachsman LLC, which has served hundreds of clients globally and provided strategic media advisory and other services since 2015. Inquiries and deal proposals should be directed to the Hawkeyeʼs investor relations team at info@hwke.com. Hawkeye’s current business lines, including its cybersecurity holdings, will continue to be evaluated.
“Securing this capital infusion and finalizing our controlling ownership provides Hawkeye with the runway required for substantive operational scaling. We have assembled a network of top-tier advisors to support our mandates and are now fully focused on growing our business in high-growth digital asset verticals and onboarding clients to our newly launched merchant banking advisory division,ˮ said David Wachsman, President of Hawkeye.
