The company has made Litecoin the center of its financial strategy. CEO Tomek Antoniak described Litecoin as “hard currency”, and said that building a larger treasury, expanding infrastructure, and growing its presence in the market will help the company gain more influence and reach.

He added that the new funding plan gives Luxxfolio more flexibility to grow and adjust as needed.

If approved by regulators, the filing will allow Luxxfolio to raise funds over a 25-month period. It will have the option to issue shares, debt, or other securities, depending on market conditions.

In July, Luxxfolio began sharing updates on its Litecoin purchases. A strategic advisor confirmed this month that the company is aiming to accumulate 1 million LTC by 2026.

Litecoin’s founder, Charlie Lee, joined Luxxfolio’s advisory board in June.

Despite this ambitious plan, Luxxfolio reported zero revenue and a net loss of about $197,000 for the second quarter of the year. That is an increase from its $8,000 net loss in the same period last year.
