The Blockchain Group (EPA: ALTBG) has emerged as a standout in European capital markets, registering a stock price increase of 554% over the past six months. Trading at €1.90 as of May 16, 2025, and recently reaching a 52-week high of €1.95, the company now holds a market capitalization of €179.3 million. The record surge is attributed mainly to the group’s recent shift toward a Bitcoin treasury strategy, making it Europe’s first Bitcoin Treasury Company.

Strategic Shift: From Tech Holdings to Bitcoin Treasury Pioneer
The company’s journey did not only focus on Bitcoin. Before late 2023, the company was mainly a tech-related holding, having experienced several ups and downs in its performance. In December 2023, a significant restructuring was set in motion by the board, shifting the company to focus on blockchain technologies, data analysis, and Bitcoin. By November 2024, the company decided to use Bitcoin as its core working capital to reach the maximum BTC per share.
As a result of its disciplined capital strategy, the company made targeted investments. In November 2024, it received a million euros in equity funding, 2.5 million euros from Adam Back and TOBAM in December, and a €48.6 million Bitcoin-denominated convertible bond in March 2025. As a result, Bitcoin holdings surged from 41 to 332 sats per share, delivering a 709.8% BTC yield in just one quarter.
ALTBG’s share price soared in tandem, moving from around €0.29 six months ago to its current levels. The company’s financials show €15 million in trailing twelve-month revenue, a P/E ratio of 131.13, and no dividend yield, reflecting a pure growth focus. The share price volatility is clear, with a 52-week low of €0.082 and a high of €1.95.
Capital Strategy: Turning Equity and Bonds into Bitcoin Growth
ALTBG’s strategy is similar to the approaches Bitcoin treasuries established in the U.S. and Asia. The company mobilizes equity, bonds, and warrants to maximize Bitcoin acquisition per share, using capital raises at market premiums and Bitcoin-denominated debt to align risk.
These moves are not random; Funding events at the company aim to increase Bitcoin per share, treating dilution as a tool for value creation, not a threat. The company has engineered its balance sheet to act as a “Satoshi refinery,” attracting more inflows into BTC holdings.
In May 2025, ALTBG received €22 million in investment, €12.1 million of which was a Bitcoin-denominated convertible bond from Adam Back. The company has revealed an ambitious eight-year plan that predicts owning between 21,000 and 42,000 BTC in 2029, and as much as 260,000 BTC in 2033, all without selling a single satoshi. If realized, these objectives could make ALTBG one of Europe’s most valuable public companies.
