The relationship, stated exactly
Built inside the group’s ecosystem and sold to Skrybit in a GDA-led transaction in 2025. The same founders and the same thesis as Metaverse Group, rebuilt without the platform dependency — and exited a second time.

Facts only. Anything the studio cannot evidence is simply absent from this table rather than softened into it.

The case
The interesting thing about BitMap Holdings is that it is a correction rather than a new idea. The same people who had assembled and sold the largest institutional estate in a platform metaverse rebuilt the position on a substrate where no operator can revoke, dilute or mint against it.
What that bought was permanence. What it gave up was the world itself — a Bitcoin block is enforceably yours and there is nothing inside it. Between the two attempts the group has now tested both ends of the first condition: a rich world with revocable property, and unrevocable property with no world. Neither, alone, produced a durable economy.
That is the conclusion the four-condition framework is built on, and it was expensive to reach. It is the reason this studio will not fund a world without an economy or a scarcity mechanism without a reason to be somewhere.
Why it is evidence
The first condition, attempted a second time with the specific defect of the first attempt removed. Metaverse Group’s land existed at the pleasure of a platform operator. Bitmap’s does not — it inherits Bitcoin’s settlement guarantee, which is the strongest available answer to “what happens when the operator stops caring”.
What it cost to learn
Enforceable scarcity and an inhabitable world are different problems, and solving either one perfectly does not produce the other.
