Bitcoin News Today: Capital B Buys 126 BTC for €12.4M Boosting Holdings to 2,201

Capital B, the French publicly listed entity, has added 126 Bitcoin (BTC) to its treasury for approximately €12.4 million ($14.4M), bringing its total holdings to 2,201 BTC. The acquisition was funded through recent capital raises, including €8.7 million ($10.1M) from Peak Hodl Ltd and €5 million ($5.8M) from TOBAM BITCOIN ALPHA FUND. The transaction was executed by Banque Delubac & Cie, a DASP-registered institution under France’s AMF, with the acquired coins securely held in custody by Taurus, a Swiss infrastructure provider[1].

This purchase underscores Capital B’s strategy as Europe’s first Bitcoin Treasury Company, aimed at increasing BTC per fully diluted share over time. As of the latest report, the company’s Bitcoin-related net asset value (NAV) has exceeded €217 million ($252.6M), reflecting its growing digital asset strength[2]. The firm also executed significant equity conversions, including 1.5 million OCA A-02 shares converted into 2.1 million equity shares and 4.76 million OCA B-01 shares converted into 8.75 million shares, expanding the fully diluted share count to 331.2 million[3].

Financially, the move has reinforced the company’s performance in its Bitcoin-centric strategy. Year-to-date, Capital B has achieved a BTC Yield of 1,519.5%, with a BTC Gain of 607.8 BTC and a EUR Gain of over €60 million ($69.8M). These figures highlight the company’s ability to generate substantial returns despite ongoing share dilution and a volatile crypto market[4]. The firm continues to enhance shareholder exposure to Bitcoin through strategic financing and partnerships, reinforcing its commitment to long-term digital asset accumulation.

The latest acquisition also aligns with broader trends of institutional Bitcoin adoption. Capital B has consistently reported strong returns since the inception of its Bitcoin strategy, which began five years ago. With this addition, the company not only meets but exceeds its own treasury benchmarks, demonstrating the viability of a Bitcoin-focused capital allocation approach[5].

The move further cements Capital B’s position as a leading institutional player in the Bitcoin space. By leveraging equity financing and securing strategic investments, the company continues to grow its BTC holdings and treasury value. The recent performance metrics, including a BTC return rate of 1,519.5% YTD, indicate the effectiveness of its capital deployment strategy and its resilience in a fluctuating market environment[6].
