So, I just came across some news about Capital B raising $17.8 million. You might wanna check it out and do some digging yourself. There's a PDF linked in the announcement that breaks it down further.
Basically, this company, listed in France, mentioned that this funding could help them snag 182 more BTC, which would bring their total to around 3125 BTC.

Many industries and corporations have been adopting Bitcoin into their treasury because the app identified some unique opportunities with bitcoin adoption and inclusion in their treasury, this is unlike the way we first started when everyone is trying to see bitcoin as from a different approach, this is why I don't have to argue much about those that refuse to adopt bitcoin because they don't know more about it, when someone taking advantage to ensure that the secure the future with the same Bitcoin as we have it with Capital B.
I'm not sure what's the significance of such news to be honest. $17 million compared to other purchases seems kinda small. I guess you could say more companies are willing to add Bitcoin into its treasury, but we have many examples before from Japan and whatnot, so it's not really new either. For the average joe, I don't think we'll see any effect. It's not like they'll dump 17 million into public exchange. CMIIW.
I must include how significant this move by Capital B is for the European Bitcoin market, because more than just a holding company, Capital B is into AI, data intelligence and decentralized technology. They may just be creating enough backup or structure funds for the high cost that Ai technology, data intelligence and decentralized technology demands.
This is a case of a publicly listed company treating Bitcoin as a superior reserve asset and a wake up call to other European firms if they intend to make great returns from the future development and deployment of AI and other technological advancement.
Capital B, formerly known as The Blockchain Group, is another Bitcoin treasury firm that had a struggling business but, inspired by Saylor, began copying his treasury strategy. So far, it doesnt seem to have gone very well for them. After the spike they all experienced last year, heres how things stand today:
Its great to see that they have courage to try what MicroStrategy did, but the problem is they don't have same balance sheet and maybe their confidence is maybe not big as what MicroStrategy have.
Its great that they finds good relief on good situation happened last year, but their position is really fragile but hopefully they succeed and became a big company the same as what MicroStrategy achieve. But before this situation to happen they need to show consistent strong long term conviction and possible deep capital reserves to make everything sustainable for their company.
What's new in this news is that, in recent weeks, no other Bitcoin asset management companies have publicly announced a capital increase, which is a good indicator, but there hasn't been a strong rebound in the stock price, and they are from investors like Adam Back[1], so I don't see anything new.

Any private individual must run and create is own personal bitcoin treasury. Just now big companies are starting the process and industrialize it
It's evident that this would lead to another level of quotation. Capitalization of BTC it's truly a tiny fraction compared to stocks markets or... real estate
This is just the beginning. The setup and storage of the strongest "VAULT" every see in the history of the human... has cost 0 and provide endless security...
I agree.
The difference is that private individuals accumulate bitcoin using their personal savings, whereas these types of companies sell shares they issue in order to buy it. This model became particularly popular last year, but it is nowhere near as successful as had been hoped, at least for now.
We can buy bitcoin at our own decision by anytime, once the market fall, it create an entry position for us to buy, when will hold for a long time, it is very likely we are going to make more profit in so doing, most of the asset we have today cannot be as profitable as what bitcoin can give you over a duration of time and that is why you see even big corporation are coming into this same direction with Bitcoin.
Yep and it's only a matter of time before like half of the companies afr utilizing a little bitcoin on their balance sheets or not. Its really starting to catch on!
