While much of the market continues to watch from the sidelines, one Paris-based firm is acting with clarity and long-term focus. The Blockchain Group, publicly listed in France, has just added another 182 BTC to its reserves. The company now holds 1,653 BTC, valued at around €149 million at today’s rates.
This latest acquisition was financed through a €18 million convertible bond, backed by firms such as UTXO Management, Moonlight Capital, and TOBAM. The execution was managed by Banque Delubac and Swissquote, with custody entrusted to Taurus, a regulated digital asset infrastructure provider based in Switzerland.
The results speak for themselves. The group’s Bitcoin strategy has delivered a 1,173 percent return this year. The average acquisition price stands near €90,000 per BTC. Plans are already in motion to purchase another 70 BTC, which would take their holdings to 1,723 BTC, one of the largest corporate reserves in Europe.
This isn’t about speculation. It is about shifting the role of Bitcoin into a strategic treasury asset. Public companies are no longer asking if digital assets belong in corporate finance. They are asking how much exposure is smart, and how fast they can build it.
For projects like StartUpX, this creates a powerful opening. Enabling startups and VCs to tokenise reserves and manage digital treasuries securely could define the next generation of capital efficiency in Europe.
Those who move early shape the future.
