Transcript of Jack Mallers on the Jack Mallers Show, Found on YouTube, Published December 1, 2025
Jack Mallers: Before I get started in ranting and raving and screaming about Japan, Twenty One, usually I talk about my businesses at the end of the episode, but, you guys, for the last six months, maybe longer, seven months maybe, have been asking me, when Twenty One? When Twenty One? When Twenty One? Let me speak on it briefly in the beginning so that everyone that has an interest in it can hear it. They don’t have to wait an hour. Okay. What is Twenty One? Twenty One is a company I co-founded with Tether. Softbank is a minority but significant investor. They put about $1 billion into the business. It is a de-SPAC. It means we are de-SPAC and combining with Cantor Equity Partners, okay? And the reason I can’t talk about it too much, and the reason it isn’t actually live yet and trading on a stock exchange under the ticker XXI, which we hope to be our ticker symbol, is because this combination between Cantor Equity Partners and Twenty One has been ongoing. It needs approval from entities like the SEC, and we are in a quiet period, where during this process, I can’t run my mouth and tell you guys all that we’re going to do and tell you what we’re working on, and give you insights into the business or KPIs into the business and how much money we’re making. I wasn’t allowed to do any of that, okay. Still not, to be clear. However, what I can now tell you guys is that our shareholder vote is December 3rd. So the way these things work, is the shareholders approve whether the business combination actually goes forward or not.
Jack Mallers: Oops. Wrong button. So the Cantor Equity Partners shareholder meeting to approve the combination with Twenty One, with my company, is December 3rd. Today is December 1st, so it is in two days. The really exciting thing about Cantor Equity Partners, and since we’ve launched the proposal to combine businesses, is majority of the stock is held by retail, is held by you guys, which I think is unbelievably cool. A lot of the times when you do these type of shareholder votes to approve a de-SPAC, it doesn’t actually matter because all of the equity is concentrated in institutional investors. Who cares for the vote because the vote is between two institutional investors that already talk to each other every day and approved it. Ours is not ours. This is an equity of the people. Well, really, what we’ve always wanted it to be, and what I think it will become, is the Bitcoin equity. We want to be, as I’ve said, the best version of Coinbase, which is a cash generating business. We aren’t interested in Shitcoins. We aren’t interested in creating a speculative mania. We’re interested in Bitcoin, but we do appreciate that businesses like Coinbase have cash flow, they have operating cash flow. And MicroStrategy. MicroStrategy is one of the largest Bitcoin holders, or it is the largest Bitcoin holder in the world. They’ve done a tremendous job at being very aggressive in building a large stash of Bitcoin.
Jack Mallers: We think we can combine those two. We can be an incredible Bitcoin operating company with high growth, high margin profit, cash flow, that can help then finance our ability to be one of the top, if not the top owners, of Bitcoin in the world. We want to be the Bitcoin equity and that means, we hope, at least I hope, that bitcoiners are our shareholders. So if, anyways, all of that to say, vote on the approval, if you’re interested. Now I have to be very clear. I can’t tell you how to vote. It’s not my prerogative to tell you how to vote. You make that decision on your own. But what I can do is say, hey, this is the last step before Twenty One goes public on a stock exchange, and the ticker XXI is up. And then I exit my quiet period and we are able to then build the business in the capital markets. So, when you guys ask me every episode, it’s the most asked question I get, when Twenty One? When Twenty One? When Twenty One? Well, assuming our shareholder vote goes well on December 3rd, then Twenty One will commence in going public, hopefully very shortly after that. So if you are a shareholder and you know other shareholders, make sure they’re aware of the vote, and once the vote commences, which is on Wednesday, I hope to have extremely exciting news thereafter, but can’t tell you guys how to vote. I don’t control the vote and uh, I can only share that much, but I did want to make sure I get that out there.
Jack Mallers: I know that this is a little unusual, that I start an episode this way, but this is a very unusual event, and that I’m attempting to take my company public, uh, in partnership with SoftBank and co-founding it with Tether. Uh, it’s one of the biggest stories to hit Wall Street this year. We’re very excited about it and I want you guys to be aware, because when we check our data, you guys are our shareholders. And again, this is a shareholder vote. This is a stock built by bitcoiners for bitcoiners, by the people, for the people. So if you guys have questions please ask them. I will do Q&A at the end, but I did want to make sure that people didn’t have to wait an hour and a half or longer to get that information, because it is obviously important. You guys have been waiting a very long time for this transaction to go through.
Jack Mallers: Um, any new info on the Twenty One launch? And then another question is where can we vote for the XXI shareholder vote? Yeah, so, I said the same thing, you know. I was talking to our lawyers this morning and I said, honestly, I might post a video on Twitter for a few reasons. One, I’m not sure people know they can vote and I’m not sure people know how to vote. Um, and two, it’s actually really cool because usually in the SPAC things, they’re like, the bag holders are these institutions and they own majority of the equity or all of the equity, and so these votes never matter. But for us it’s very unique. Like people, the hell, uh, people have accused us of, like, oh, some institution dumped this, some institution did that. Like when you look at the outstanding shares that exist in CEP, it’s like, almost all retail, like individuals, people. Like, there is no institutional concentration of anything. So one, I think that’s really cool. Like, we are trying to be like, the Bitcoin equity built by bitcoiners. And the bottoms up movement resonates with me, with the business and with Bitcoin. So, one that’s cool. Two, yes, you can vote. So our shareholder, uh, meeting for the business combination is on Wednesday and specifically 10 a.m. Wednesday, so it’s not even like end of day Wednesday, so you would need to vote before then. And then how you vote depends on how you purchased the stock. So, you know, for example, if you bought it from Robinhood, you can go vote inside of Robinhood. Um, if you bought it from a broker, you can contact the broker and request to have your voting control number, to approve.
Jack Mallers: But the point that everyone should know is that if you want XXI to list on a stock exchange soon, this is like the final step to doing that. And so as a shareholder, you know, you can voice your support for the business to get approved and for us to list on an exchange and officially start as Twenty One, you can voice that support by voting. And so if you are a shareholder, you know, I would appreciate you voting, but I, I very, very, um, seriously cannot tell you guys how to vote. I can encourage you to vote, and I can let you know that if everything gets approved, we will list and Tether and I will officially be able to run this company in the public markets, whereas today we have not been able to do that. We have not technically started. We’ve been waiting for the transaction to close. So, does that answer your question?

On December 1, 2025, Jack Mallers, Co-Founder an Chief Executive Officer of Pubco, posted video on his X account announcing the Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of Cantor Equity Partners, Inc. to approve the Business Combination Agreement and transcript is below.
Jack Mallers: Yo, what is going on guys? I’ve got some exciting news in regards to Twenty One. Twenty One, the Bitcoin company. I co-founded the business with Tether, our largest outside investor and partner is SoftBank, and we’ve been attempting to take the company public via de-SPAC with Cantor Equity Partners. The exciting news, Cantor Equity Partners shareholder meeting to approve the business combination with Twenty One is this Wednesday, December 3rd at 10 a.m.. Why is that so exciting? What’s the relevance? Well, assuming a positive outcome that would allow Twenty One to close the business combination and publicly list under the ticker XXI on a stock exchange and officially operate the business publicly. I know so many of you guys have been excited about that possible outcome. I certainly have been. There’s no doubt and no secret about that. So why am I making a video about it? Well, this, in my opinion, is one of the most badass parts about Twenty One, is we are going to be significantly held by retail, which is fairly unique. Usually in these type of SPAC transactions, when you have a shareholder vote, and this isn’t for every company, but I would say traditionally, it is concentrated with institutions. The shareholder base is not very decentralized, it’s not very distributed, and so these shareholder meetings don’t have that many inputs. For us, that’s not the case. Twenty One will be significantly held by retail, which I think speaks to Bitcoin, the mission. It’s a bottoms up movement. My focus throughout my career on the everyday individual, Tether as a business. So, it’s very, very , and it’s very, very cool. But when we were talking to our team and our lawyers, they’re saying, hey, um, how do you want to tell retail and people out in the Bitcoin industry that there is a shareholder vote, that if the transaction gets approved, the business could go public as soon as next week.
Jack Mallers: They want, whatever, emails and all sorts of stuff that’s just not us. And I said, I’m gonna get out my phone, record a video, and I’m gonna tweet it. That’s my preference of, we believe in transparency, authenticity, credibility, we’re bitcoiners. It’s the Bitcoin company built by bitcoiners for bitcoiners. So I wanted everyone that follows me to know that, if you are a CEP shareholder, we hope that you cast a vote. To be very clear, I cannot and will not tell you how to vote, but if you are a shareholder, we hope you participate and cast your vote by December 3rd at 10 a.m., and if the outcome is positive, as soon as next week, we can begin our journey as a public company, which is very, very, very exciting. If you want to vote, you can contact your broker. It depends on where you bought the stock, but you contact your broker, and you can likely vote through there. But, this is very much our style, directly to the people, directly to our shareholders, transparency, authenticity, clarity. Uh, we want to be the Bitcoin company. So with that, if you guys have questions, please leave them below. I’m happy to answer them, to which I’m allowed. And I’m looking forward to the next few weeks. Really, really exciting times. Take care guys.
