In the genteel parlors of Parisian finance, where whispers of Bitcoin’s ascendancy mingle with the clinking of champagne flutes, Capital B, that audacious European treasury company, has secured a tidy sum of €15.2 million (~$17.8 million). The benefactors? None other than the venerable Adam Back, founder of Blockstream, and the astute asset managers at TOBAM. A private placement, you say? How delightfully discreet-and yet, how boldly ambitious.
The shares, priced at €0.66 apiece, carry with them the faintest whiff of prestige-a 1.51% premium to their May 8 close. And attached to each, like so many promises at a summer ball, are four warrants. Should they be exercised, a veritable fortune of €99.1 million awaits. Ah, the allure of potential-so tantalizing, so uncertain.
🟠 Capital B, with the air of a suitor presenting a bouquet, announces its €15.2 million capital raise. Among the admirers? The strategic Mr. Back and TOBAM. A Bitcoin Treasury Company strategy, they say. How très chic. ⚡️

A Modest Ambition: 3,125 Bitcoins
With this fresh infusion of funds, Capital B sets its sights on acquiring 182 additional Bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to a respectable 3,125 BTC. A modest ambition, perhaps, for a firm already ranked among the 25 largest corporate Bitcoin holders, with 2,943 BTC to its name. Yet, in the grand ballet of finance, every step must be measured, every gesture deliberate.
Since adopting the Bitcoin standard in November 2024, Capital B has expanded its reserves with the steady grace of a waltz. Each ABSA, a bundle of warrants priced at €0.86, €1.12, and €1.46, promises a future as intricate as a lace doily. Should all be exercised, 92,155,376 new shares will emerge-a proliferation of paper, a multiplication of possibility.
Adam Back’s European Sojourn
Mr. Back, ever the connoisseur of Bitcoin treasury vehicles, has doubled his commitment to Capital B within a week. On May 4, he subscribed to €1.1 million in warrants, elevating his fully diluted stake to a genteel 9.97%. His previous dalliance? A 30,000 BTC commitment to the Bitcoin Standard Treasury, a SPAC structure valued at a staggering $4 billion. Ah, the life of a financier-so many suitors, so many choices.
Capital B, ever mindful of its obligations, may trigger an accelerated warrant exercise window should its volume-weighted average price remain 30% above the relevant strike for 20 consecutive trading days. A delicate condition, to be sure, but one that speaks to the firm’s ambition.
And so, as European firms aspire to emulate the success of their American counterparts-those titans who have amassed over 818,000 BTC-the question lingers: Can Capital B scale its acquisitions without diluting the Bitcoin-per-share? The investors, ever watchful, await the answer with bated breath. After all, in the theater of finance, every performance is a spectacle, and every misstep a tragedy.
