Coincheck to Acquire 97% Stake in Canada’s 3iQ for $112 Million

Coincheck Group, listed on Nasdaq, states it will acquire shares of digital asset manager 3iQ from Monex to expand institutional services and pursue group synergies aimed at revenue growth.

Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by multiple high-authority sources. A financial news article from Investing.com and a news headline snippet on Yahoo Finance explicitly state that 'Coincheck Group to acquire 97% of digital asset manager 3iQ for $112 million,' which perfectly matches all details of the claim. The official press release distributed by Business Wire confirms the acquisition agreement between the two companies. There is a minor inconsistency in the price, with some sources reporting the value as $111.8 million. However, this difference is negligible and is almost certainly due to standard rounding practices in financial reporting. This slight variation does not challenge the fundamental accuracy of the statement. The overwhelming consensus across credible financial news outlets confirms the key components of the claim: the buyer (Coincheck), the seller (3iQ), the stake size (97%), and the financial value (approximately $112 million).
Summary

Coincheck Group, listed on Nasdaq, announced an agreement to acquire shares of Canadian digital asset manager 3iQ Corp. from Monex Group. The company said the deal is intended to strengthen its expansion of institutional services and to explore group synergies aimed at driving revenue growth.
