The Blockchain Group, a France-based firm specializing in Bitcoin treasury strategies, announced on Monday the completion of convertible bond issuances worth €63.3 million ($72 million). The capital raised will be used to purchase an additional 590 BTC, bringing the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to over 1,400 BTC.
This latest move underlines the firm’s ongoing commitment to long-term Bitcoin accumulation. In March 2025, The Blockchain Group made headlines when it added 580 BTC to its balance sheet—its largest single acquisition to date.
Strategic Funding Fuels Bitcoin Reserves
The company revealed that multiple bond issuances have been finalized to support this aggressive accumulation approach. According to market data from Euronext, The Blockchain Group’s share price has more than doubled since adopting the Bitcoin treasury strategy, reflecting increasing investor confidence in its crypto-forward vision.

In an official statement, the company confirmed it will “continue to develop the operational activities of its subsidiaries” while prioritizing its BTC strategy. The firm has not only aligned itself with the likes of MicroStrategy, but also joined a growing list of publicly listed companies shifting their balance sheets toward Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Bitcoin Treasury Trend Grows Among Public Companies
The Blockchain Group’s strategy mirrors that of firms like MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, and even GameStop, which have begun leveraging corporate capital to accumulate Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy, the largest corporate holder of BTC, currently holds 580,250 BTC, worth approximately $63 billion at the time of writing. These moves reflect a broader trend among firms betting on Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and fiat depreciation, while appealing to a growing base of crypto-aligned investors.
France Enters the Bitcoin Corporate Arena
The Blockchain Group’s expansion marks a significant milestone in Europe’s evolving role in the crypto space. While most large-scale Bitcoin treasuries have been U.S.-led, this bold step by a French-listed firm signals rising institutional interest across continental Europe.
This also comes amid increasing scrutiny and regulatory developments in the EU concerning digital assets. Despite the environment, The Blockchain Group appears undeterred in its ambition to solidify Bitcoin’s role in its financial architecture.
What’s Next?
With its Bitcoin holdings set to exceed 1,400 BTC, The Blockchain Group positions itself as one of the leading corporate holders of Bitcoin in Europe. Investors will be closely watching to see whether the company continues to capitalize on market dips and how its dual focus on subsidiary development and BTC strategy plays out.
As Bitcoin continues to mature into a macroeconomic asset, more firms may follow suit, especially those looking for long-term capital preservation and alternative asset exposure.
