Digital asset investment firm Vaultz Capital plc has completed a £1 million equity placing, a move designed to bolster its balance sheet and advance its strategic push into Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
The raise, announced on Monday, involved the issuance of 6,060,607 new ordinary shares at 16.5 pence per share, matching the company’s closing bid price as of July 11. The proceeds will be deployed to deepen Vaultz’s long-term position in Bitcoin, aligning with its broader objective of becoming one of the UK’s leading corporate holders of the digital currency.

According to the company, this placement represents a pivotal step in its multi-year plan to integrate Bitcoin into its treasury reserves. Commenting on the development, CEO Alex Appleton said,
“We’re delighted to have completed another successful raise, reinforcing our balance sheet and signaling continued investor confidence in our vision.”
The newly issued shares are expected to commence trading on the AQSE Growth Market on July 17. Upon admission, Vaultz’s total issued share capital will rise to 129,265,196 shares, reflecting the company’s expanding shareholder base.
Supporting the transaction, Global Investment Strategy UK Limited served as bookrunner, while Cairn Financial Advisers acted as AQSE Corporate Adviser. Their involvement underscores the growing interest among institutional partners in crypto-aligned financial strategies.
Crucially, Vaultz Capital has confirmed that it will allocate a portion of its reserves to Bitcoin, placing it alongside a growing list of publicly listed firms that are embracing crypto as a hedge and store of value. Still, the company acknowledged significant risks, including regulatory uncertainty, market volatility, and cybersecurity threat,s while also noting that its investors are not protected under the UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
Meanwhile, Vaultz’s announcement comes as Bitcoin consolidates near $112,000, with traders closely watching for a breakout toward the $120,000–$125,000 range. Derivatives activity has surged, reflecting broader institutional momentum as firms like Vaultz signal long-term confidence in BTC’s macro upside.
