<\/div>\n

Paris-listed technology firm The Blockchain Group has increased its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring an additional 182 BTC for approximately $19.6 million, bringing its total reserves to 1,653 BTC. <\/p>\n

At current market prices, the company\u2019s Bitcoin stash is valued at over $170 million. <\/p>\n

The latest purchase, completed on 17 June, follows a wider trend of public firms using their balance sheets to hold digital assets.<\/p>\n

This move solidifies The Blockchain Group\u2019s status as Europe\u2019s first Bitcoin treasury company.<\/p>\n

The acquisition was funded through a series of convertible bond issuances completed earlier this month, raising nearly \u20ac18 million ($20.7 million)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The company confirmed in an announcement that several institutional investors, including UTXO Management, Moonlight Capital, TOBAM, and Ludovic Chechin-Laurans, participated in the financing round, each contributing to different parts of the bond issuance.<\/p>\n

Bond issuance and custody are handled by key institutions<\/h2>\n

The execution of the Bitcoin purchases was carried out by Banque Delubac & Cie and Swissquote Bank Europe SA. <\/p>\n

Custody of the newly acquired assets is managed by Taurus, a Switzerland-based infrastructure provider for digital assets.<\/p>\n

The use of these institutions underscores the company’s intent to combine traditional financial mechanisms with digital asset strategies.<\/p>\n

In parallel, The Blockchain Group is actively pursuing larger ambitions to expand its crypto treasury. <\/p>\n

Earlier in June, it announced plans to raise up to \u20ac300 million ($342 million) through an \u201cAt the Market\u201d (ATM) offering.<\/p>\n

The shares will be sold in tranches at market-driven prices, based either on the previous day\u2019s close or the volume-weighted average price, with a cap at 21% of the stock\u2019s daily trading volume.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin performance boosts treasury yield in 2025<\/h2>\n

The firm\u2019s investment in Bitcoin has resulted in a reported year-to-date yield of 1,173.2% in 2025. <\/p>\n

This reflects a sharp increase in the ratio of Bitcoin held to the company\u2019s fully diluted share count.<\/p>\n

Since January, The Blockchain Group has acquired 469 BTC and registered over $49.4 million in Bitcoin value gains.<\/p>\n

Its average acquisition price across all holdings is currently about $103,000 per BTC, below the market rate. <\/p>\n

With plans underway to acquire an additional 70 BTC, the company\u2019s holdings could soon reach 1,723 BTC.<\/p>\n

Shares of The Blockchain Group, which trades under the ticker ALTBG on Euronext Growth Paris, fell 0.70% at the last close, according to Google Finance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Firms rush to add Bitcoin as caution grows<\/h2>\n

The Blockchain Group is part of a broader wave of firms increasing their Bitcoin exposure. <\/p>\n

According to BitcoinTreasuries.NET, at least 26 entities have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets over the past month alone.<\/p>\n

This sharp increase in adoption has prompted both optimism and concern within the financial sector.<\/p>\n

While some firms are seen as making strategic treasury decisions, others may be using Bitcoin as a fallback amid deteriorating fundamentals. <\/p>\n

Industry watchers, including Fakhul Miah from GoMining Institutional, caution that smaller firms copying this playbook may lack sufficient risk management frameworks.<\/p>\n

Adding to the warnings, Standard Chartered Bank has issued a note predicting that up to half of these companies could face significant challenges if Bitcoin\u2019s price drops below $90,000. <\/p>\n

A slide beneath that level could trigger widespread liquidations, damaging not only individual firms but also Bitcoin\u2019s broader perception as a corporate treasury asset.<\/p>\n
