SUBVERSIVE CAPITAL’S “BIG BET” ON REAL ESTATE

WeedWeek talked to Michael Auerbach of Subversive Capital,  which has emerged as a major investor.

  • The company’s real estate investment trust (REIT) aims to close on $183M in transactions by the end of this month.
  • Separately, a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, arranged by the company, raised about $575M in its IPO, the largest SPAC IPO in Canadian history.
  • “I actually predict that I’ll be only one of two or maybe three of the 10 SPACs [currently] out there for cannabis that will do cannabis,” Auerbach said. “I think most of my competitors will end up doing non-cannabis targets.”

“The time to buy is now,” he says.
