Bitcoin News Today: Capital B Adds 58 BTC for €5.9M, Strategic Expansion to 2,013 Holdings

Capital B, formerly The Blockchain Group, has acquired 58 Bitcoin (BTC) for €5.9 million, marking a strategic expansion of its corporate treasury holdings. The Paris-listed firm, now holding a total of 2,013 BTC, has reiterated its commitment to positioning Bitcoin as a core asset within its balance sheet. The acquisition, executed at a price of approximately €101,724 per BTC, aligns with broader institutional interest in digital assets and reflects the firm’s long-term vision for Bitcoin’s role in corporate finance [1][2].

The purchase was facilitated by strong investor and partner support, according to Xavier Latil, CEO of Capital B. “This new acquisition, made possible by the strong backing of our partners and investors, underscores our long-term vision and dedication to establishing Bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset for European companies,” Latil stated. The firm’s treasury strategy emphasizes Bitcoin’s potential as a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainties, leveraging its low correlation with traditional assets to enhance portfolio diversification [2].

Capital B’s Bitcoin holdings now represent a significant portion of its total assets, with the 2,013 BTC valued at over €200 million assuming a BTC price of €100,000. However, the firm’s financial disclosures remain limited, as it has not specified whether the Bitcoin will be held as a long-term investment or used as a liquidity buffer. Analysts note that the company’s approach mirrors strategies adopted by firms like MicroStrategy, which has amassed a large Bitcoin reserve [1][2].

The move has broader implications for the European crypto market. As a publicly traded entity, Capital B’s actions could influence other corporations to explore Bitcoin integration, particularly as EU regulatory clarity improves. The firm’s advocacy for blockchain technology in traditional finance is reinforced by its direct participation in crypto markets. The acquisition was executed through private channels, a common practice among institutional buyers to minimize market impact [2].

Capital B’s expansion into Bitcoin follows its 2023 €58 million Series B funding round, which enabled its transition from a blockchain consultancy to a direct crypto investor. The firm’s geographic expansion into the U.S. and focus on fintech solutions further contextualize its investment in digital assets. Subsidiaries in the United States may benefit from the firm’s growing expertise, potentially opening new revenue streams through institutional-grade services [3].

While critics have raised concerns about the prudence of corporate Bitcoin holdings amid regulatory scrutiny, Capital B’s transparent reporting mitigates some risks. The firm’s adherence to disclosure standards and public reporting of the acquisition signal a shift toward institutional adoption frameworks. The July 2025 transaction coincides with broader macroeconomic optimism, including easing inflationary pressures and central bank policy shifts, which have bolstered risk-on sentiment across asset classes [2].

The firm’s trajectory suggests continued focus on Bitcoin as a core holding, complementing its investments in blockchain infrastructure and digital identity solutions. By operating at the intersection of traditional and emerging financial ecosystems, Capital B aims to redefine corporate treasury management in the digital age.
