Bitcoin Treasury Race Heats Up As Capital B Secures $18 Million
Europe's second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Capital B, has secured €15.2 million (approx. $17.8 million) from a private share placement. The raise was notably backed by Blockstream CEO Adam Back and asset manager TOBAM. The company could potentially receive an additional $116.5 million if attached warrants are exercised. Capital B plans to use the funds, alongside operational revenue, to acquire around 182 more Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to roughly 3,125 BTC, valued at approximately $237 million. This move stands in contrast to other corporate treasury firms that have been selling Bitcoin or setting up hedging programs amid recent market softness. Capital B shares rose about 4.25% following the announcement.
