\nCapital B Acquires 192 Bitcoin for \u20ac13 Million, Pushes Total Holdings to 3,135 BTC<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Capital B, the Paris-listed Bitcoin Treasury Company formerly known as The Blockchain Group, has completed the purchase of 192 bitcoin for \u20ac13.0 million, bringing its total holdings to 3,135 BTC \u2014 one of the largest bitcoin reserves held by a European public company.<\/p>\n

The acquisition, announced May 18, 2026, was funded through three capital raises that together generated \u20ac17.15 million. The raises included a \u20ac0.85 million placement under an \u201cat-the-market\u201d (ATM) agreement with TOBAM, a \u20ac1.1 million warrant issuance subscribed by cypherpunk and Blockstream CEO Adam Back, and a \u20ac15.2 million private placement of shares with attached subscription warrants (ABSA) at \u20ac0.66 per unit, placed with a group of global institutional investors.<\/p>\n

The 192 BTC were purchased at an average cost of \u20ac67,866 per bitcoin, according to a note shared with Bitcoin Magazine. <\/em>The company\u2019s total bitcoin stack now carries an aggregate acquisition value of \u20ac283.6 million, reflecting an average cost basis of \u20ac90,451 per coin. The acquisition was executed through Swissquote Bank Europe SA, a Luxembourg-registered virtual asset service provider, with custody handled via the Swiss firm Taurus.<\/p>\n

Capital B\u2019s bitcoin yield\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Capital B tracks<\/a> a proprietary performance metric called \u201cBTC Yield\u201d \u2014 a measure of bitcoin accumulation per fully diluted share \u2014 to assess the efficiency of its treasury strategy. Year-to-date, the company has recorded a BTC Yield of 1.82%, a BTC Gain of 51.3 BTC, and a BTC Euro Gain of \u20ac3.5 million. Since the start of the second quarter, those figures stand at 1.09%, 31.4 BTC, and \u20ac2.1 million.<\/p>\n

The private placement carried a warrant structure with three tranches, each with a five-year maturity. Warrant 2026-03 carries an exercise price of \u20ac0.86, Warrant 2026-04 at \u20ac1.12, and Warrant 2026-05 at \u20ac1.46 \u2014 each set at 130% of the prior tranche\u2019s exercise price. If all warrants were exercised, the transaction would generate an additional \u20ac99.1 million in capital for the company. Maxim Group LLC served as lead placement agent, with Marex S.A. as co-manager.<\/p>\n

The capital table following the transaction shows Adam Back holding 13.37% of ordinary shares and 10.00% on a diluted basis, while Blockstream Capital Partners holds 14.36% on an ordinary basis but 35.90% on a diluted basis \u2014 reflecting its large warrant position. TOBAM holds 4.52% of ordinary shares. On a total basis, the company has 300,265,812 shares outstanding, with a potential diluted count of 420,859,061.<\/p>\n

Capital B trades<\/a> on Euronext Growth Paris under the ticker ALCPB, with U.S. OTC trading under CPTLF. The company\u2019s bitcoin treasury strategy centers on a single stated objective: growing the number of bitcoin held per fully diluted share over time.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Strategy said they purchased<\/a> 24,869 BTC for about $2.01 billion last week, bringing its total holdings to 843,738 BTC at an average cost of roughly $75,700 per coin and reinforcing its position as the largest corporate bitcoin holder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The buy marks a sharp acceleration in accumulation, funded in part through preferred equity and ATM offerings, as the company continues to prioritize bitcoin per-share growth while signaling it remains a net accumulator despite limited flexibility to sell if needed.<\/p>\n
