The trend of public companies adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets is gaining steam in Europe. On Monday, August 4, French firm Capital B announced it has raised €11.5 million ($13.3 million) specifically to buy more Bitcoin, the latest in a wave of similar moves from companies across the continent looking to use the crypto as a treasury asset.
Capital B, which is listed on the Euronext Growth Paris exchange, said the new financing will go toward the purchase of an estimated 160 Bitcoin. This buy would bring the company’s total holdings to approximately 2,173 BTC. The deal was structured through new shares and convertible bonds, both of which were bought by the TOBAM Bitcoin Alpha Fund, a specialized crypto investment fund.
TOBAM committed €5 million to purchase shares priced at €2.90 each and €6.5 million to convertible bonds valued at €3.66 per share. According to the company, the financing is intended to strengthen its positioning as a Bitcoin Treasury Company, focusing on increasing BTC holdings per diluted share.
