The Blockchain Group Raises \u20ac22M to Accelerate Its Bitcoin Treasury Strategy<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Blockchain Group (ALTBG), a Premiere Member<\/em> of Bitcoin For Corporations<\/a> and Europe\u2019s first publicly traded Bitcoin Treasury Company, has completed two major capital raises totaling over \u20ac22 million in just 48 hours<\/strong>\u2014a bold signal of institutional conviction in its Bitcoin-native strategy.<\/p>\n

These moves are not just capital raises\u2014they\u2019re a blueprint for how public companies can re-architect their balance sheets<\/a> around Bitcoin, while attracting world-class partners along the way.<\/p>\n

Part One: \u20ac9.9M Equity Raise Anchored by Major Institutions<\/h2>\n

On May 9<\/strong>, The Blockchain Group announced a \u20ac9.9 million capital increase<\/strong>, pricing shares at \u20ac1.0932<\/strong>, a 61.7% premium over the 20-day average. The raise was conducted without preemptive rights and drew participation from respected institutional and strategic investors including:<\/p>\n

Tobam<\/strong> (\u20ac4M)<\/p>\n

Generali Ambition Solidaire<\/strong> (\u20ac1.1M)<\/p>\n

Jean-Marie Formig\u00e9<\/strong> (\u20ac2.2M)<\/p>\n

Quadrille Capital<\/strong>, EFG Bank<\/strong>, VP Bank<\/strong>, and others<\/p>\n

This tranche was structured under Article L. 411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, enabling fast, strategic deployment of capital toward two fronts:<\/p>\n

Strengthening the company\u2019s Bitcoin accumulation strategy<\/strong>, centered on increasing Bitcoin per fully diluted share.<\/p>\n

Fueling growth of its operating subsidiaries<\/strong>, which focus on Data Intelligence, AI, and decentralized tech consulting.<\/p>\n

This equity round demonstrates The Blockchain Group\u2019s ability to attract forward-looking capital while preserving dilution discipline.<\/p>\n

Part Two: \u20ac12.1M Bitcoin-Denominated Convertible with Adam Back<\/h2>\n

On May 12<\/strong>, ALTBG followed up with a second raise\u2014this time in Bitcoin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s Luxembourg subsidiary issued a \u20ac12.1 million BTC-denominated convertible bond<\/strong>, subscribed in full by Adam Back<\/strong>, CEO of Blockstream and one of Bitcoin\u2019s earliest pioneers.<\/p>\n

This is Tranche 2 of the company\u2019s OCA convertible series, issued at a 30% premium<\/strong> over Tranche 1\u2019s conversion price. Upon conversion, it could result in the issuance of up to 17.2 million new shares<\/strong> at \u20ac0.707 per share, with conversion terms based on future share price performance.<\/p>\n

This issuance brings Bitcoin-native capital structure innovation directly to the European public markets\u2014aligning long-term investors with the company\u2019s mission to grow Bitcoin per share<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A Model for the Future of Public Company Finance<\/h2>\n

Together, these two raises represent something bigger than capital: a strategic shift.<\/p>\n

The Blockchain Group<\/a> is using the tools of public finance\u2014equity, convertibles, and treasury management\u2014to align its capital structure with Bitcoin\u2019s monetary policy. As a Premiere Member of Bitcoin For Corporations, it exemplifies the kind of strategic playbook that more companies in Europe and beyond are beginning to explore.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s treasury strategy is simple but powerful: accumulate Bitcoin, preserve BTC per share, and attract capital partners who understand the long game.<\/strong><\/p>\n
