M&A Strategy

M&A is the demand engine: acquired platforms bring installed user bases that convert to Cipherbit Enterprise end-users, folded into the sovereign stack rather than run standalone.

Strategy

Acquisitions target platforms with real installed bases (the 150,000-DAU origin base came through M&A per CEO Assumption A5).

Post-acquisition, platforms are re-platformed onto the estate: ECXI Gateway for agent budget control, $ECXI service router for settlement, WORM audit spine for evidence.

Floor-price discipline on acquired rental portfolios (A5): draft prices are floors, with 30 new accounts queued to sign within 9 months.

Integration playbook

Demand conversion monthly reporting from the acquired base (CTO standing instruction).
