European markets are beginning to show a clearer shift toward Bitcoin-focused corporate treasury strategies, with Capital B’s latest capital raise reinforcing that direction.
The French-listed company secured €15.2 million from international institutional investors, including crypto investor Adam Back and asset manager TOBAM. The firm said the funds will be directed mainly toward expanding its Bitcoin reserves as part of a long-term balance sheet strategy.
If related warrants are fully exercised, Capital B’s potential Bitcoin holdings could rise to about 3,125 BTC, further strengthening its position among Europe’s emerging Bitcoin treasury firms.

Bitcoin-focused companies and startups raised large funding rounds in 2025–2026, mainly to build infrastructure around custody, trading, and Bitcoin-based financial services. Firms like Portal, River, Unchained, Xapo Bank, and Anchorage Digital secured funding ranging from tens of millions to over a billion dollars, with a strong focus on self-custody tools, Lightning Network payments, and regulated Bitcoin banking.
The trend shows Bitcoin moving beyond just being an investment asset into core financial infrastructure. Institutional players and corporates like MicroStrategy, Block, and Metaplanet continue accumulating Bitcoin as a treasury reserve, while venture funding supports platforms that make Bitcoin easier, safer, and more integrated into traditional finance.
Is Europe slowly moving toward corporate Bitcoin accumulation?
Europe has historically been slower than the US in adopting public-company Bitcoin treasury models. This approach, made popular by firms like Strategy, relies on accumulating Bitcoin per share as a key performance metric rather than focusing only on traditional earnings.
Capital B is increasingly positioning itself within this same framework. Its strategy is not just about holding Bitcoin, but improving “Bitcoin exposure per share” over time. This creates a structured investment vehicle for European investors who want regulated exposure to Bitcoin without directly holding the asset.
Is treasury performance now measured beyond revenue growth?
Another transition is also taking place in how performance is measured. Instead of focusing purely on revenue or profit growth, Bitcoin treasury firms are now tracking metrics such as BTC yield and BTC gains. These indicators measure how efficiently a company increases its Bitcoin holdings relative to shareholder dilution.
For Capital B, this shows alignment with a growing treasury model where balance sheet strength is increasingly defined by Bitcoin accumulation rather than operational expansion alone. It also reflects a trend in which listed firms are beginning to compete on Bitcoin-per-share growth as a core financial benchmark rather than a secondary metric.
Meanwhile, the organization raised €1.1 million ($1.28 million) through a warrant issuance backed by Adam Back, reinforcing investor confidence in its long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
