Capital B, a France-based bitcoin treasury company, announced on Monday that it has raised 15.2 million euros ($17.8 million) to accelerate its bitcoin accumulation strategy, according to the company’s press release.
Funding Structure and Warrant Details
The company raised the funds through a private placement of 23 million ABSA shares, with four share subscription warrants attached to each share, priced at 0.66 euros per share. According to Capital B, “In the event that all warrants issued in connection with this transaction were to be exercised, this would result in an additional capital increase of €99.1 million ($116.6 million) through the issuance of 92,155,376 additional ordinary shares.”
Use of Proceeds and Bitcoin Acquisition
The firm plans to use the net proceeds, estimated at 14.4 million euros ($17 million), to strengthen its bitcoin treasury. Capital B stated that the funds, together with ongoing operations, could support the acquisition of 182 BTC, bringing the company’s total to 3,125 BTC.
Investor Participation and Shareholding
Global investors participated in the latest capital raise, including Blockstream CEO and bitcoin pioneer Adam Back, and French asset management company TOBAM. Following the transaction, Adam Back is set to hold a 13.43% stake in the company on an ordinary basis, while TOBAM will hold 4.20%. Blockstream Capital Partners, advised by Back, would have a 14.42% stake in the firm, down from 15.63% before the raise.
Transaction Timeline and Company Background
The private placement is expected to close on May 13 at the earliest, according to the press release. Originally known as The Blockchain Group, Capital B rebranded in July 2025 to focus on its bitcoin treasury strategy.

Australia will scrap the long-term 50% CGT discount: crypto recalculates real gains after inflation
The Australian government will release the 2027 Budget on May 13, planning to end the long-term asset “50% CGT discount after holding for one year” (including cryptocurrency assets) and replace it with inflation-indexed taxation of real gains. It will fully take effect from July 2027. The transition period covers assets purchased before May 10, 2026 to keep the old rules, and those who buy afterward will have a one-year transition. This change will raise the effective tax base for long-term holders, potentially shifting capital toward the real estate market, and may also serve as a reference for tax policies in other jurisdictions.
