The company’s net asset value for BTC holdings stands at approximately €205.8 million, reflecting both the accumulation strategy and market appreciation.
Capital Expansion and International Reach
Beyond BTC accumulation, Capital B is expanding its global footprint. On July 21, the company announced its transformation from The Blockchain Group to Capital B. This rebranding included the rollout of a new logo, revamped website, and a Bitcoin analytics dashboard.
To take its global strategy up a notch, Capital B is setting up shop in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The goal is to expand its footprint in key international markets and draw in institutional investors who share its Bitcoin-first outlook.

Banque Delubac & Cie, a DASP registered with the AMF, executed the BTC purchases. The bitcoin is secured through custody infrastructure provided by Taurus, a Swiss digital asset firm.
Further capital increases are ongoing. One, subscribed by Peak Hodl Ltd for ~€8.7 million, could fund the acquisition of an additional 70 BTC. That pushes potential total holdings to 2,083 BTC.
