Safety Shot Raises $30M in Strategic Funding: BONK Core Team and FalconX Lead Major Investment Round

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Aug. 25, 2025 – Safety Shot, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHOT) has closed a $30 million strategic funding round that signals a major shift in how traditional public companies can tap into the digital asset ecosystem. The financing package combines a $5 million registered direct offering with a $25 million private placement in BONK tokens, led by the BONK founding team and the institutional investor FalconX, with shares priced at $0.46 each.

A New Bridge Between Public Markets and DeFi

This transaction represents far more than a conventional capital raise. Safety Shot is securing a direct operating stake in one of the most lucrative revenue engines within the BONK ecosystem—the letsBONK.fun platform. Rather than simply accumulating digital assets in a treasury, the company now benefits from recurring operational income while simultaneously building a substantial BONK token position.

“This is a watershed moment for Safety Shot,” said CEO Jarrett Boon. “The strategic investors bringing capital today also bring their networks, market expertise, and conviction in our vision. We’re not just accessing funds; we’re gaining partners who understand both traditional finance and digital assets at the highest level. This positions us incredibly well to successfully acquire and integrate letsBONK.fun while executing our broader treasury strategy.”

The Vision Behind the Partnership

Mitchell Rudy (Nom), a founding architect of the BONK ecosystem, emphasized the deeper significance of the collaboration: “We specifically selected Safety Shot because we see a genuine opportunity to construct something unprecedented—a true bridge between decentralized finance and public market infrastructure. The terms of this deal reflect our absolute confidence. We’re not passive participants; we’re co-builders of a new value creation model. This is genuinely the beginning of what could redefine how digital-native assets integrate with traditional capital markets.”

Execution Timeline and Market Impact

The transaction is slated to close on or around August 27, 2025, pending standard closing conditions. For investors, the dual-revenue structure—combining operational income from letsBONK.fun with BONK token appreciation potential—creates a unique risk-return profile that transcends typical treasury accumulation strategies.

Safety Shot’s transformation signals broader institutional acceptance of hybrid models that blend traditional public equity frameworks with active digital asset participation. The involvement of sophisticated investors like FalconX underscores growing confidence in this emerging asset class and structural approach.
