French-listed tech firm Blockchain Group is ramping up its Bitcoin holdings through a €63.3 million ($72 million) convertible bond offering, marking its latest move to position itself as a Bitcoin-heavy holding company.
The firm intends to deploy 95% of the raised capital to acquire an additional 590 BTC, which would lift its total holdings to 1,437 BTC. The remainder of the funds will cover operational expenses and management fees. At current prices, the company could potentially acquire more, but it has capped its purchase to align with internal allocations.
The funding round was led by Fulgur Ventures, which contributed the bulk—€55.3 million—while Moonlight Capital added €5 million. The issued bonds will be convertible into company shares at €3.809.

The company’s latest earnings reveal a 32% year-over-year revenue decline, but its Bitcoin portfolio has delivered a reported yield of over 700%. Looking ahead, Blockchain Group aims to accumulate 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply—more than 170,000 BTC—by 2032 as part of its long-term treasury strategy.
