In a significant move amidst ongoing market uncertainty, French Bitcoin treasury firm Capital B has successfully raised €21 million (approximately $24.5 million) through a private share placement. This funding round, announced on August 28, 2026, was priced at €0.58 per share, each bundled with four share-subscription warrants.
The private placement attracted notable investors, including Adam Back, a prominent figure in the Bitcoin community and CEO of Blockstream, alongside the asset management firm TOBAM. The structure of the deal allows for the potential exercise of warrants, which could unlock an additional €135.8 million (around $158 million) through the issuance of 144,876,280 ordinary shares.
Warrant Exercise and Capital Strategy
Capital B has the option to initiate an accelerated warrant exercise period if the volume-weighted average price of its shares exceeds 130% of the exercise price over a 20-day trading period. This strategic approach could significantly bolster the company’s capital position.
Planned Bitcoin Acquisition
The proceeds from this fundraising effort are earmarked for acquiring 270 Bitcoin (BTC), which would increase Capital B’s total holdings to 3,415 BTC. Currently, the company ranks as the 29th largest publicly traded Bitcoin treasury firm, with its existing holdings valued at under $249 million, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Market Context and Future Plans
Despite the substantial raise, Capital B’s Bitcoin assets remain modest compared to larger players in the market, such as Strategy, which holds 843,775 BTC valued at nearly $67 billion. Earlier in June, Capital B proposed to its board the establishment of up to €5 billion ($5.8 billion) in capital increase through 125 billion shares at nominal value, a resolution that passed with overwhelming support.
This fundraising initiative comes at a time when smaller treasury companies are liquidating their holdings, indicating a contrasting strategy by Capital B to expand its Bitcoin treasury in a challenging market environment.
