Capital B Raises €21 Million to Expand Bitcoin Holdings

Capital B, a French Bitcoin treasury company, has successfully raised €21 million ($24.5 million) through a private placement to bolster its Bitcoin holdings. The company issued 36.2 million shares at €0.58 each, bundled with four subscription warrants, known as ABSAs, for the financing. The funds attracted interest from institutional investors, including Bitcoin advocate Adam Back and asset manager TOBAM.

Maxim Group served as the sole placement agent. Capital B anticipates net proceeds of about €19.9 million after fees and transaction costs. The new capital is expected to support the purchase of 270 BTC, bringing its potential holdings to 3,415 BTC. The warrants could provide Capital B with an additional €135.8 million if exercised in full.

The company's shareholders approved a resolution allowing it to pursue up to €5 billion in capital increases through issuing shares and debt instruments.
