Circle recently acquired Hashnote for nearly $100 million, primarily through stock payments. In addition to cash payments, some Hashnote employees were also issued stock as compensation. Circle plans to issue 24 million shares of Class A common stock, priced between $24 and $26 per share. Hashnote was originally founded with an investment from Cumberland Labs, and since being acquired by Circle, USYC's position in the tokenization of U.S. Treasury products has been declining.
