Capital ₿ Hits 2,844 BTC After €0.5M Treasury Expansion

Key Highlights

  • Capital ₿ bought 8 BTC, steadily building Europe’s first listed Bitcoin treasury.
  • Smaller and larger BTC purchases show a careful, long-term accumulation strategy.
  • Corporate Bitcoin buying, like MicroStrategy’s hints, continues to sway market moves.

The Paris-listed company Capital ₿ accelerated its Bitcoin accumulation strategy on Monday, acquiring 8 BTC for €0.5 million at €60,934 per coin. Alexandre Laizet, Board Director of Bitcoin Strategy at Capital ₿, announced on X: “Capital ₿ has acquired 8 BTC for €0.5 million at €60,934 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 0.29% YTD.” 

As a result, the firm now holds 2,844 BTC valued at €264.4 million at an average price of €92,971 per coin. This move confirms Capital ₿’s deliberate strategy to strengthen Europe’s first listed Bitcoin Treasury Company.

The purchase came after the company raised about €0.6 million through a share sale priced at €0.71 per share under an agreement with TOBAM. As part of the deal, Capital ₿ issued 788,190 new ordinary shares. The move also followed a decision made by the company’s Chief Executive Officer under authority granted by shareholders during the general meeting held on June 10, 2025.

“The Group has achieved since the beginning of the year a BTC Yield of 0.29%, a BTC Gain of 8.1 BTC, and a BTC € Gain of €0.5M,” Laizet added, highlighting consistent gains despite market fluctuations.

Accumulation strategy mirrors US firms

Capital ₿’s approach mirrors large U.S. companies such as Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy. However, it differentiates itself by openly defining its European treasury strategy. Over recent months, the company steadily added to its holdings. 

On March 9, the company added 2 BTC to its holdings at about €61,660 each. Earlier in February, it bought 6 BTC at €55,270 and 5 BTC at €64,124. In late 2025, the firm made a much bigger move, acquiring 551 BTC at €99,272 each on September 22. 

These purchases show a pattern of mixing smaller and larger buys over time, gradually building up its Bitcoin stash while keeping an eye on the average price.

Market context and industry signals

Corporate Bitcoin buying continues to move the market. Michael Saylor, Co-Founder of Strategy, hinted on X that the company might add more Bitcoin to its treasury, saying, “Stretch the Orange Dots.” 

Moreover, Bitcoin jumped about $1,800 in just half an hour on Monday, briefly reaching $74,300. The broader crypto market also held steady despite global uncertainties, with Bitcoin trading around $73,208, up roughly 2% over the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Capital ₿’s recent Bitcoin purchase highlights its long-term approach to digital assets. The move helps the company maintain Europe’s first official Bitcoin treasury while keeping its costs under control. Its steady, step-by-step buying also offers a clear example of how institutions might approach crypto adoption in the region.
