Gemini IPO 20× Oversubscribed, Proceeds Capped at $425 Million

Nasdaq’s reported $50 million commitment remains publicly contested, with the exchange describing the relationship as a non‑exclusive partnership.

Overview

  • Books closed ahead of pricing as investor orders eclipsed available shares by more than 20 times, and any further price increase would cut the share count rather than lift proceeds.
  • Pricing is slated for Thursday with trading expected Friday on the Nasdaq under the ticker GEMI, subject to market and regulatory conditions.
  • Gemini is offering 16.67 million shares at a raised range of $24–$26, targeting roughly $433 million in gross proceeds and a valuation of about $3.1 billion.
  • Multiple outlets report Nasdaq agreed to buy $50 million of shares in a private placement tied to the IPO, while a Nasdaq spokesperson has framed the arrangement as a non‑exclusive partnership rather than an IPO allocation.
  • The company reported a first‑half 2025 net loss of $282.5 million on $68.6 million in revenue, and filings indicate proceeds are intended for operations, debt reduction and growth initiatives.
