- The Blockchain Group raises €7.2M for Bitcoin reserves expansion.
- TOBAM invests, signaling institutional backing.
- Strategy mirrors past corporate Bitcoin investments.
The Blockchain Group successfully raised €7.2 million from French asset manager TOBAM to enhance its Bitcoin reserves.
The funding emphasizes a growing confidence in Bitcoin as a corporate asset, with potential influence on European crypto adoption strategies.
The Blockchain Group, a prominent European blockchain company, secured €7.2 million to boost Bitcoin holdings. TOBAM, a respected asset manager, was the sole investor. The company plans to use these funds for its Bitcoin vault strategy. Alexandre Laizet, Deputy CEO, communicated the strategic importance of this ATM-type capital increase on X (formerly Twitter).
The immediate effect is heightened institutional interest in Bitcoin as a reserve asset. This move aligns with strategies previously implemented by corporations like MicroStrategy. The impact on the crypto market could drive further corporate Bitcoin acquisition strategies in Europe.
The €7.2 million capital was raised through the issuance of 1,603,306 ordinary shares at €4.49 each. Institutional backing from TOBAM highlights the increasing confidence in Bitcoin’s strategic asset role. The shareholder-approved raise includes an overall capital increase cap, emphasizing potential for further expansion.
“This move cements The Blockchain Group’s ambition to become a leading European corporate Bitcoin vault and signals continued institutionalization of Bitcoin as a balance sheet asset in the EU.” — Alexandre Laizet, Deputy CEO and Director of Bitcoin Strategy, The Blockchain Group
Potential outcomes could involve higher Bitcoin accumulation and enhanced corporate treasury utilization across Europe. Market analysts suggest possible long-term increases in corporate Bitcoin holdings. Such trends echo historical patterns seen with other institutional Bitcoin investments.
