Capital B Targets European Market with Bitcoin-Backed Credit

Board director Alexandre Laizet confirmed the initiative during the BTC Prague conference, positioning the product as a solution to stagnant European capital markets. The company seeks to replicate the success of similar ventures, such as Strategy’s STRC and Strive’s SATA, to finance its ongoing Bitcoin accumulation strategy. This shift follows a major push for shareholder authorization to issue up to €5 billion in equity and €116 billion in credit instruments ahead of a June 17 meeting.

Laizet noted that treasury-backed firms are uniquely positioned to sustain high-yield returns due to Bitcoin’s historical appreciation, diverging from conventional finance models that rely on long-term cash flow. Despite the ambitious yield targets, the firm faces inherent risks, including price volatility, execution challenges, and counterparty exposure. To mitigate these, Capital B plans to work exclusively with regulated banking partners. While no official launch date exists, the firm remains committed to its long-term goal of controlling 1% of the total Bitcoin supply by 2033, backed by a target of 15,000 BTC by the end of 2027.
