Blockchain Group Boosts Bitcoin Holdings by 75 BTC with €6.9 Million Purchase

Blockchain Group, a prominent player in the blockchain industry, has significantly bolstered its Bitcoin holdings through a series of strategic acquisitions. The firm's latest purchase of 75 BTC, valued at €6.9 million, has increased its total Bitcoin holdings to 1,728 BTC. This acquisition was funded through a €7.2 million capital raise, facilitated by its Luxembourg subsidiary and entirely sourced from funds managed by TOBAM. The capital was raised through an "ATM-type" equity program launched on June 17, 2025, with shares priced at an average of €4.49. The firm reported a year-to-date BTC yield of 1,231.7%, gaining 492.7 BTC worth €45.2 million.

Prior to this, in June, Blockchain Group had acquired 182 BTC for €17 million, bringing its total holdings to 1,653 BTC. This acquisition was supported by convertible bond issuances totaling €18 million, with investors including UTXO Management, Moonlight Capital, and TOBAM. Swissquote Bank Europe and Banque Delubac facilitated the transactions, while Taurus provided custody services. Additionally, the firm raised another €1.6 million through the conversion of 2.98 million share warrants.

The Smarter Web Company, originally a UK-based web design firm, has transitioned its financial strategy to focus on Bitcoin. The company recently purchased 196.9 BTC for £15.2 million at an average price of £77,122 per BTC, increasing its total holdings to 543.52 BTC, bought at an average of £77,988. The firm began accepting Bitcoin payments in 2023 and adopted a full treasury strategy focused on Bitcoin accumulation in April 2025. Its 10-Year Plan aims to expand its user base and leverage BTC gains to enhance shareholder value.

Global institutions are increasingly embracing Bitcoin as a strategic asset. VMS Group, a multifamily office with $4 billion in assets under management, has entered the crypto space with plans to allocate up to $10 million to DeFi strategies managed by Re7 Capital. This move reflects the growing interest from traditional investors, driven by improved regulatory environments. Additionally, Strategy, a major Bitcoin holder, added 245 BTC worth $26 million, raising its total holdings to 592,345 BTC with a cost basis of $41.87 billion. IoT semiconductor company Sequans is planning a $384 million capital raise, which includes $195 million in equity and $189 million in convertible debentures, aimed at accumulating more Bitcoin.

These developments underscore a broader trend of institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury asset. Firms are increasingly recognizing the potential of Bitcoin to drive financial growth and shareholder value. The strategic acquisitions and capital raises by Blockchain Group, The Smarter Web Company, VMS Group, Strategy, and Sequans highlight the growing confidence in Bitcoin as a viable investment option. As more institutions integrate Bitcoin into their financial strategies, the cryptocurrency is poised to become an increasingly important component of global treasury management.
