A notable development has hit the crypto markets. House of Doge’s wholly owned Dogecoin Ventures unit borrowed $1. 4 million from lender Devlin DeFrancesco under an unsecured note, according to a July 29 SEC filing. Secured creditors get paid first, while the $1.
4 million principal is due in 2,227,300 CleanCore Solutions shares already pledged to House of Doge’s senior lenders. The note was issued July 28, bears 10. 7% annual interest and matures July 27, 2027.
Market Dynamics
Rather than return the $1. 4 million principal in cash, Dogecoin Ventures agreed to deliver the fixed block of unrestricted, registered CleanCore shares. Dividing the face amount by that block produces an implied value of about 62.
Interest is due in cash. Even if Dogecoin Ventures repays early, it must pay the full interest that would have been due at maturity.

Jul 17, 2025 Gino Matos The repayment path runs through senior creditors The fixed-share structure leaves DeFrancesco exposed to CleanCore’s market price when the stock can be delivered. A more immediate obstacle is creditor priority: the shares are repayment consideration, not collateral for the new note. The note says it is unsecured and expressly subordinates payment to Dogecoin Ventures’ secured debt.
Market Impact
It separately bars scheduled or early repayment until House of Doge has fully repaid its convertible note held by YA II PN Ltd. , known as Yorkville. A June 1 amendment extended the Yorkville note’s maturity to July 31, 2026, required $100,000 of extension consideration and a $200,000 balance paydown, and placed 9 million Dogecoin Ventures-owned CleanCore shares in an account at Revere Securities.
All consideration from any sale or trade of those shares was to be directed to Yorkville.

It gives no July 28 balance for Yorkville and leaves open whether Yorkville had been paid off or whether the 2,227,300 shares came from the earlier 9 million-share pool. Before the note could close, the borrower or its parent needed consent from Yorkville and majority holders in the May financing. The public record stops there.
This shift continues to shape the digital-asset landscape, with analysts examining its near-term effects.
