Framework Ventures Faces $50.8 Million Unrealized Loss on BERA Holdings
Framework Ventures’ $72.4 million investment in BERA during Berachain’s Series B faces steep declines, with other investors also seeing losses from the prior $1.5B valuation.
Summary
Framework Ventures acquired 21,145,476 BERA tokens for $72.4 million at $3.42 each in Berachain’s Series B round. Current market prices have dropped substantially, resulting in unrealized losses exceeding $50 million. Other Series B participants are similarly in negative territory, as valuations have fallen from the $1.5 billion level set during that funding. Berachain founders previously denied allegations of preferential refund rights for Brevan Howard Digital’s Nova fund.
