Definition ∞ A Leveraged Acquisition is a transaction where a company purchases another company using a significant amount of borrowed money. The assets of the acquired company often serve as collateral for the loans taken to finance the purchase. This strategy aims to amplify returns on equity, but also substantially increases financial risk for the acquiring entity.
Context ∞ While traditionally a corporate finance concept, in digital assets, discussions sometimes relate to large entities acquiring crypto firms using debt, impacting market stability. A key debate concerns the sustainability of such debt-fueled expansions in volatile crypto markets. Future developments depend on broader market conditions, the availability of institutional financing for digital asset ventures, and regulatory oversight of crypto mergers.
