Meta Platforms is once again venturing into the digital currency space, with a renewed focus on stablecoins as a tool for facilitating global payments, according to insiders familiar with the company’s strategy.
Following its exit from the Diem project in early 2022, Meta is reportedly holding early-stage talks with crypto infrastructure firms to explore stablecoin applications across its platforms.
Rekindling Its Digital Currency Ambitions
Originally launched as Libra in 2019 and later rebranded as Diem, Meta’s first major crypto initiative aimed to create a global stablecoin. However, it was shelved in January 2022 amid intense regulatory scrutiny.
Now, under new leadership, Meta appears ready to re-enter the space. Ginger Baker, a fintech veteran and former Plaid executive, has been appointed as Vice President of Product. Baker also sits on the board of the Stellar Development Foundation, giving her strong credentials to lead Meta’s new stablecoin push.
A Focus on Cross-Border Efficiency
Sources indicate that Meta’s renewed interest is centered on enabling cross-border payments using stablecoins as a faster, cheaper alternative to wire transfers. The company sees stablecoins as a viable tool to reduce transaction fees, particularly for small payments across international borders.
An executive from a crypto infrastructure provider said Instagram could be one of the early adopters, using stablecoins to compensate creators in different regions. This would allow Meta to cut down on fees for transactions as low as $100.
Booming Stablecoin Market Provides Tailwind
The timing of Meta’s move coincides with significant growth in the stablecoin sector. According to DeFiLlama data, the total stablecoin market cap has doubled to $245 billion over the past year.
Tether (USDT) remains the dominant player with a market cap of approximately $150 billion. Meanwhile, USD Coin (USDC) has also expanded, growing from $33 billion to around $60 billion, according to CoinGecko.
This market expansion suggests an increasing appetite for blockchain-based payment solutions, adding momentum to Meta’s plans.
Regulatory Winds Still Blowing
Despite favorable market conditions, the regulatory environment remains fluid. The GENIUS Act, a bill aimed at creating a legal framework for stablecoins, failed to pass in the Senate earlier today. However, Senator John Thune has announced plans to file a motion next week to reconsider the bill.
This continued legislative activity highlights the growing importance of stablecoin regulation and may influence how quickly Meta can bring its vision to market.
While Meta’s efforts are still in the exploratory phase, the company appears poised to reassert itself in the digital finance space—this time, with a sharper focus and potentially broader support.
Arizona has taken a significant step in integrating digital assets into state-level finance with the enactment of House Bill 2749. Signed into law by Governor Katie Hobbs, the bill creates a reserve fund composed of Bitcoin and other digital assets without relying on taxpayer dollars.
Hobbs Chooses Caution Over Aggression
This move comes shortly after Hobbs vetoed Senate Bill 1025, a more aggressive proposal that would have allowed the state to invest up to 10% of its treasury and pension assets in Bitcoin.
In her veto statement, Hobbs said, “Arizonans’ retirement system is strong because it sticks to proven investment strategies,” expressing concern about exposing public retirement funds to untested digital assets.
By contrast, House Bill 2749 gained her support thanks to its conservative, budget-neutral design. Dennis Porter, CEO of the Satoshi Action Fund, highlighted that of all the crypto legislation presented, HB 2749 was Hobbs’ preferred choice.
How the Reserve Fund Will Work
Backed by Representative Jeff Weninger and supported across party lines, the bill directs the state treasurer to manage a reserve fund consisting of digital assets received via airdrops, interest, and staking rewards.
Assets held for more than three years without any activity—such as logging in, initiating a transaction, or contacting the custodian—will be considered abandoned. In such cases, any earnings from those assets will be transferred into the reserve fund.
Importantly, the law mandates that the state must sell any digital assets at or above prevailing market prices. These sales will take place via regulated exchanges or other “commercially reasonable methods” for less-liquid tokens.
Comparison to New Hampshire’s Proactive Stance
Arizona’s law is more conservative compared to New Hampshire’s recently signed HB 302, which authorizes the direct allocation of up to 5% of state funds into Bitcoin. Unlike Arizona’s fund, which passively accumulates assets, New Hampshire’s legislation permits active investment and long-term crypto holding.
Nevertheless, Arizona’s HB 2749 lays crucial groundwork by integrating digital assets into public financial planning in a cautious, controlled way. It signals the state’s willingness to innovate without taking on undue financial risk.
Space and Time (SxT) has completed the launch of its mainnet and hailed the event as an opportunity to supercharge dapp development. While the project was already doing plenty of business both in enterprise and web3, its mainnet launch will allow it to kick things up a notch. SxT already has a clear idea of the sort of use cases its zero-knowledge proofs will be supporting. Not surprisingly, AI is near the top of that list.
Rich Data and Cryptographic Proofs
One of the challenges with complex projects, particularly those working with cryptographic proofs – in this case of the zero-knowledge variety – is conveying to the average web3 user the significance of it all. Thankfully for Space and Time, its target audience is developers rather than end users, which helps significantly: it’s in the middleware game. It also helps that SxT has done a very good job of explaining how its core products slot together and why they’re such a big deal.
As the project’s Scott Dykstra explains, “Prior to Space and Time, onchain applications had no way to query basic user data from a database of blockchain activity without introducing security risks and tampering. In addition, enterprises had no way to securely connect their cloud databases with smart contracts.” With the launch of SxT’s mainnet, Dykstra is confident that the quality of decentralized applications is about to level up now they can access more data with greater reliability from on- and off-chain sources.
Petabyte-Scale Storage
Space and Time has a lot of moving parts to it, centered around its Proof of SQL solution which serves as a sub-second ZK coprocessor. Among its bold promises is the ability to deliver “petabyte-scale” blockchain storage though an elastic scaling solution. This effectively means that dapps will never run out of storage, even when addressing memory-intensive use cases.
But this is about more than simply multiplying web3’s storage capacity: Space and Time is equally interested in ensuring that this data can be accessed in a private manner. This is particularly vital for enterprises, which struggle to reconcile the transparency of public blockchains with the need to keep sensitive financial data to themselves. With Space and Time, this data can be securely stored off-chain and then a ZK proof transmitted onchain.
Microsoft and Chainlink Rally Round
While the quality of Space and Time’s tech is its primary selling point, it’s also got some quality backers behind it. Most famously, Microsoft has invested in the web3 startup, while Chainlink has also forged close ties, its Co-Founder Sergey Nazarov noting how, “Chainlink provides the connective tissue for data to move securely across systems, and Space and Time brings powerful new compute capabilities that complement that vision.”
This compute is going to be dialed up in the coming years as AI agents take over and artificial intelligence permeates everything. Creating dapps that consume vast amounts of computational resources without relying on centralized sources is difficult at present due to the inherent limitations of Layer 1 blockchains. Ethereum’s struggling to scale just to match the demands of ordinary DeFi usage; how’s it meant to handle the exponentially larger burden placed by AI-intensive dapps?
It’s here that Space and Time is likely to gain ground, positioning itself as the scaling solution aspiring AI dapp developers can rely on. As the project’s website summarizes, “Smart contracts can use Space and Time to ask data-driven questions about activity on their own chain, other chains, or offchain sources and get back a ZK-proven answer next block.” Apply that formula to an emerging generation of AI-powered applications and it’s easy to see why Microsoft and Chainlink are so bullish.
MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor has called on Microsoft to abandon traditional financial strategies like stock buybacks and bonds in favor of Bitcoin, which he claims offers better long-term value and reduced risk.
A Radical Proposal for Microsoft’s Capital Allocation
Speaking at the Strategy World 2025 conference, Saylor said, “Microsoft should be powered by digital capital. Bitcoin is the highest-performing uncorrelated asset.” He pointed out that Bitcoin has significantly outperformed Microsoft stock over the past five years, yielding over 950% gains compared to MSFT’s 148%.
Despite this disparity, Saylor criticized Microsoft’s use of its large cash reserves, arguing that the current focus on stock repurchases and low-yield bonds weakens the company’s flexibility and leaves shareholders more exposed to risk. “Buying Bitcoin would be 10x better than buying your own stock,” he said.
Critique of Bonds and Buybacks
Saylor was scathing in his view of bonds, calling them “toxic,” and claimed that stock buybacks “destroy 97% of your capital over 10 years.” Instead, he advocated redirecting funds toward Bitcoin, which he believes could increase Microsoft’s enterprise value by up to $5 trillion.
“Bitcoin…emerged as the alternative to bonds in 2024. That was the point at which the SEC endorsed Bitcoin ETFs,” he noted. “That was kind of year zero. We’re now in year one.”
Bitcoin as the Future of Capital
Saylor characterized Bitcoin as the modern alternative to outdated investment strategies. “Bitcoin is the universal, perpetual, profitable merger partner,” he declared. He believes it is a “dirt cheap, one-time revenue that’s growing 30% to 60% a year.”
Previously, Saylor made a direct pitch to Microsoft’s board, delivering a three-minute presentation with 44 slides urging a strategic shift toward Bitcoin. However, a shareholder proposal to allocate 1% of Microsoft’s cash into Bitcoin was ultimately voted down, following opposition from the board.
Despite the rejection, Saylor’s push highlights a growing debate over how corporations should manage capital in a rapidly changing economic landscape.
VanEck is looking to expand its footprint in the crypto ETF space with a bold new move: a proposed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that directly tracks BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain. The investment management firm filed a Form S-1 registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 2, marking a significant step toward launching the first BNB-focused ETF in the United States.
Aiming to Break New Ground in Crypto ETFs
Should the SEC approve the proposal, VanEck’s BNB ETF would be the first of its kind in the U.S. market to offer direct exposure to BNB through physical token holdings. The fund’s ticker symbol has not yet been revealed. This initiative follows VanEck’s recent registration of a trust entity in Delaware last month, a strategic move intended to lay the legal groundwork for this novel offering.
BNB is the fifth digital asset VanEck has targeted for a dedicated ETF registration in the U.S., joining the ranks of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche. This continued push illustrates VanEck’s commitment to expanding crypto accessibility through regulated financial products.
Potential for Passive Income Through Staking
In a notable feature, the preliminary prospectus suggests that the ETF might incorporate staking mechanisms, depending on the approval from the listing exchange. If allowed, investors could benefit from passive income via staking rewards. VanEck indicated that staking operations could be conducted through approved providers, including potentially affiliated entities.
This aspect sets the BNB ETF apart from traditional crypto funds, as it introduces an income-generating element that could appeal to long-term holders and institutional investors alike.
VanEck’s Track Record in Digital Assets
VanEck is no stranger to pioneering crypto ETFs. The firm launched spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs last year after securing long-awaited approval from the SEC. It was also one of the early players to propose a Bitcoin futures ETF as far back as 2017.
These achievements have positioned VanEck as a leader in the evolving landscape of digital asset investment products. The firm’s experience and proactive approach could work in its favor as it navigates regulatory hurdles with the BNB ETF.
BNB’s Market Position and Utility
BNB currently ranks as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. At the time of the filing, the token was trading around $608 with minimal fluctuations. As the utility token of the BNB Chain, BNB is widely used to power transactions, smart contracts, and various services across the Binance ecosystem.
The introduction of a regulated investment vehicle for BNB could significantly expand its appeal to mainstream investors, especially those seeking exposure through familiar structures like ETFs.
COTI has been selected as a Pioneer Partner in the European Central Bank’s (ECB) Digital Euro project, a major step toward developing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) for the eurozone. As part of this initiative, COTI will join forces with the ECB and other stakeholders to explore innovative technologies that could support a secure and private Digital Euro.
The Digital Euro is envisioned as a digital complement to physical cash, designed to facilitate private and safe payments across the eurozone’s $15 trillion economy. COTI’s selection builds on its past involvement with the Bank of Israel’s Digital Shekel trials, reflecting its growing credibility in the CBDC field.
In this partnership, COTI will test its privacy-focused solution for conditional payments using simulated ECB systems. This technology aims to verify asset origins while safeguarding user privacy—an essential element for any future CBDC.
“Being invited to work with the ECB on such a consequential project is humbling, and a testament to the expertise and hard work of the COTI team,” said Shahaf Bar-Geffen, COTI co-founder and CEO. “Privacy is a vital component for the future of Web3, ensuring user security and organizational compliance, and the same benefits apply to CBDCs. It’s critical that confidentiality is built into the core of these new systems, rather than merely being added as an afterthought.”
COTI previously contributed to Israel’s Digital Shekel Challenge by creating a proof-of-concept for private, trustless cross-border transactions using garbled circuits—technology it will now adapt for the ECB project.
The ECB’s innovation platform brings together a broad mix of financial institutions, banks, fintechs, and experts, with conditional payments as a key focus. COTI plans to keep its community informed as its involvement in the project continues.
Former President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his strong support for cryptocurrency, asserting that the United States must take the lead in digital asset innovation or risk being left behind by global competitors like China. In a recent interview, Trump emphasized crypto’s growing popularity and resilience amid market challenges.
“I Want Crypto,” Trump Declares
Speaking to NBC’s Meet the Press, Trump underlined the urgency for American leadership in the crypto space. When asked about concerns over profiting from his presidential role, Trump steered the conversation toward the strategic importance of digital currencies.
“I want crypto,” he said. “I think crypto is important because if we don’t do it, China is going to. It’s new. It’s very popular. It’s very hot.” Trump noted that even during periods of market turbulence, cryptocurrencies held up better than many traditional financial assets.
Highlighting Adoption and Attacking Biden
According to Trump, the sheer level of adoption and interest in crypto makes it impossible to ignore. He criticized the Biden administration for what he described as inconsistent and politically motivated regulation of the crypto industry.
He accused the current administration of initially cracking down on crypto, only to later relax its stance when it became politically convenient. Trump positioned himself as a consistent supporter of the digital asset space.
Addressing Allegations of Personal Gain
With questions swirling around the Official Trump Token (TRUMP), the former president sought to downplay any suggestion that he is financially benefitting from its existence. He insisted that his interest in crypto predates his latest presidential campaign.
“I’m not profiting from anything,” Trump said. “I haven’t even looked.” He added, “If I own stock in something, and I do a good job, and the stock market goes up, I guess I’m profiting.”
Trump reiterated that he donated his entire presidential salary during his time in office and intends to continue that practice. When pressed on whether he would contribute any potential crypto earnings, he responded candidly: “Should I contribute all of my real estate that I’ve owned for many years if it goes up a little bit because I’m president and doing a good job? I don’t think so.”
Market Decline and Token Performance
Despite Trump’s endorsement, the TRUMP token has seen a significant drop in value since his inauguration. Once boasting a market cap nearing $15 billion, it has since plummeted to around $2 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
However, the token experienced a brief resurgence last week, surging over 70% on the news that Trump would host an exclusive event for top token holders.
Exclusive Dinner Sparks Controversy
Scheduled for May 22 at Trump National Golf Club, the invitation-only dinner will include the top 220 wallets holding TRUMP tokens. This high-profile gathering has prompted concern across the political spectrum.
Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff have called for an ethics investigation, alleging that the event might be an example of “pay to play” and could signal the monetization of presidential access.
Even some Republicans have voiced discomfort. Senator Cynthia Lummis, known both for her support of Trump and her advocacy for Bitcoin, openly expressed her concerns.
“This is my president that we’re talking about, but I am willing to say that this gives me pause,” Lummis told CNBC.
Balancing Influence and Ethics
As Trump continues to lean into crypto as part of his political messaging, the intersection of personal branding, digital assets, and presidential influence is drawing scrutiny. His outspoken support for crypto may resonate with younger and tech-savvy voters, but it also raises fresh questions about transparency, conflicts of interest, and ethics in governance.
With a high-stakes election looming and digital assets becoming a key part of political and economic discourse, Trump’s crypto push could shape not only campaign rhetoric but also the regulatory landscape ahead.
A major shift has occurred in the crypto investment space as Two Prime, a US-based investment advisory firm, has decided to abandon Ethereum (ETH) in favor of an exclusive focus on Bitcoin (BTC). This move follows ETH’s significant price decline in early 2025, which prompted the firm to reassess its strategy.
From Dual Lending to Bitcoin-Only
Over the past 15 months, Two Prime facilitated $1.5 billion in loans using both Bitcoin and Ether. However, citing Ethereum’s instability and underwhelming performance, the firm announced on May 1 that it would now concentrate entirely on Bitcoin for both asset management and lending operations.
“ETH’s statistical trading behavior, value proposition, and community culture have failed beyond a point that is worth engaging,” Two Prime stated, signaling a complete pivot.
ETH’s Unpredictability a Major Concern
A key reason behind the firm’s decision is what it describes as Ethereum’s loss of predictable trading behavior. As an algorithmic trading firm, Two Prime emphasizes the importance of consistent data patterns for its models.
“Ether no longer trades predictably,” the firm said. “As an algorithmic trading firm, we value data more than narratives… the data suggests ETH has fundamentally changed.”
The firm explained that Ether has decoupled from Bitcoin and now behaves more like a memecoin. They noted ETH experienced “several multi-standard deviation moves” during Q1 2025, in contrast to Bitcoin’s relatively steady behavior.
“It trades now like a memecoin rather than a predictable asset,” the company added. “Even during the turbulence of Q1 2025, Bitcoin remained within its fundamental behavior, whereas ETH saw several multi-standard deviation moves.”
Impact on Algorithmic Trading and Lending
Such volatility poses serious challenges for firms like Two Prime that rely on quantitative strategies. The unpredictability of ETH’s price action not only complicates trading but also undermines ETH-backed lending practices, which rely on certain levels of price stability.
The firm remarked that ETH’s behavior creates a “headache” for algorithmic trading and undermines lending reliability, “even by the high volatility expectations of digital asset markets.”
Criticism Triggers Community Reaction
Two Prime’s harsh assessment of Ethereum didn’t go unnoticed. Some crypto enthusiasts saw the firm’s exit as a contrarian indicator — a possible sign that ETH is nearing a price bottom.
One user commented, “What a retarded essay statement,” referencing the S&P 500’s own 4.7% decline year-to-date. Others questioned Two Prime’s relevance altogether: “Never even heard of them. Seems irrelevant.”
“If this isn’t a bottom signal for ETH idk what is,” another person noted, suggesting that the worst might be over for Ethereum.
Weak ETH ETF Performance Adds Pressure
Adding to ETH’s woes, Two Prime pointed to the underwhelming performance of Ethereum-based ETFs. While Bitcoin ETFs have attracted substantial institutional investment, ETH ETFs have lagged far behind, with BTC ETF purchases outpacing ETH by nearly 24 times.
“The failure of ETH’s ETF creates a reflexive loop whereby institutions like BlackRock dedicate fewer resources to their promotion and sale. BTC has found the mainstream while ETH has floundered,” Two Prime stated.
Despite this, Ethereum still dominates among altcoin ETFs in terms of assets under management (AUM). Recent data shows Ether-based exchange-traded products hold $9.2 billion in AUM, well ahead of Solana and XRP, which have $1.4 billion and $1 billion, respectively.
ETF Landscape Adds to ETH Struggles
Following the US SEC’s approval of spot Ether ETFs in May 2024, the asset saw a muted reception. Investor enthusiasm has waned, and some issuers have backed away — VanEck halted Ether futures ETF trading, WisdomTree withdrew its proposal, and ARK dissolved its futures ETFs for both Bitcoin and Ether in March 2025.
Founded in 2019 by Alexander Blum and Marc Fleury, Two Prime had been active in both Bitcoin and Ethereum lending until this dramatic pivot. Whether their exit marks a low point for ETH or simply reflects a broader trend remains to be seen.
Former President Donald Trump is once again in the political spotlight—this time for blending politics with crypto in a way that has raised eyebrows, even among members of his own Republican Party. A recent announcement offering exclusive access to a White House tour and dinner for top holders of his TRUMP memecoin has sparked ethical concerns from both sides of the aisle.
GOP Senators Criticize Trump’s Crypto Incentives
Republican Senators Cynthia Lummis and Lisa Murkowski have voiced concern over the implications of Trump’s crypto-driven incentives. According to a report from CNBC on May 2, Lummis said that the idea of the president offering White House access to token holders “gives [her] pause.” Murkowski echoed those concerns, stating plainly, “I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to charge people to come into the Capitol and take a tour.”
The criticism stems from Trump’s April 23 announcement that top holders of his TRUMP memecoin would be eligible to apply for a White House dinner and tour—a move many interpreted as monetizing presidential access.
Legislative Support Despite Reservations
Despite her reservations about Trump’s memecoin strategy, Senator Lummis also took to social media on May 2 to praise the former president’s support for crypto legislation. She posted a video on X in which she said she was “particularly pleased” with Trump’s backing of the BITCOIN Act—short for Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide. The act would formalize a strategic national reserve of Bitcoin in the United States, aligning with Trump’s recent pro-crypto rhetoric.
This duality illustrates the complicated position many lawmakers face: balancing concern over ethical optics with policy alignment on digital assets.
Ongoing Ethics Concerns and Accusations
The TRUMP token, launched on January 17, has drawn significant criticism from both lawmakers and the crypto community. Critics argue that it creates potential conflicts of interest and could open the door for foreign influence in U.S. politics by enabling anonymous crypto transfers that benefit Trump directly.
“Trump once claimed he is so rich he cannot be bought,” said Craig Holman, an ethics specialist with Public Citizen. “But his obsession with money means he apparently can be bought for a meme.”
Holman’s remark underscores the perception that the memecoin scheme may be undermining the very principles Trump once touted.
Impeachment Demands Resurface
The controversy escalated when Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff called for Trump’s impeachment during a town hall meeting on April 25. Ossoff criticized the TRUMP coin dinner offer as a form of “selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him,” framing the move as a blatant conflict of interest. Though Trump was impeached twice during his presidency and acquitted both times, the memecoin saga has reignited impeachment talk—this time from the perspective of financial impropriety.
Who Will Dine With Trump?
With the planned dinner set for May 22, speculation has swirled around who might actually attend. The TRUMP coin leaderboard lists top wallet holders, though only usernames are visible. This has led to rumors that high-profile figures like Tron founder Justin Sun or Tesla CEO Elon Musk could be among the invitees.
As of May 2, neither individual nor their companies had confirmed any involvement, leaving the dinner’s guest list shrouded in uncertainty.
Ethical and Political Ramifications Continue to Unfold
As Trump continues to build his crypto presence, his memecoin initiative stands at the intersection of innovation and political controversy. While some view it as a clever move to rally support and funding from a tech-savvy base, others see it as a dangerous precedent that commercializes access to political power.
Whether this controversy fades or grows into a larger ethical scandal remains to be seen—but the pushback from both Democrats and Republicans suggests that this is more than just a digital gimmick. It’s a political flashpoint in the ongoing debate over crypto’s role in government and campaign finance.
The Blockchain Group (TBG), a publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company, has revealed plans to amass as much as 260,000 Bitcoin over the next decade—a move that could see it hold approximately 1% of the total Bitcoin supply by 2034.
A Long-Term Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy
Outlined in its latest financial disclosure, TBG’s strategy focuses on an incremental acquisition approach. The company aims to increase its current holdings of 620 BTC to between 1,000 and 3,000 BTC by the end of this year. It has set an ambitious mid-term goal of owning 100,000 BTC by 2032 and hopes to reach between 170,000 and 260,000 BTC by 2034.
“If Bitcoin reaches €1-2 million per coin by 2033-2035, holding 210,000 BTC could represent between €210 billion and €420 billion in net asset value,” the report states.
This long-term vision is underpinned by a projection that Bitcoin’s value will appreciate substantially in the coming years. To measure progress, the company is tracking its proprietary “BTC Yield” metric, which saw a dramatic 709% increase in Q1 2025. During this period, its Bitcoin-per-share figure jumped from 41 to 332 satoshis.
Strategic Backing and Funding Pipeline
The firm, which trades under the ticker ALTBG on Euronext Growth Paris, underwent a strategic pivot in November 2024 to become a full-fledged Bitcoin Treasury Company. Since then, it has boosted its Bitcoin reserves significantly—from just 15 BTC in December 2024 to over 620 BTC by April 2025. The increase was achieved via equity placements and Bitcoin-denominated convertible bonds.
TBG’s strategy has attracted support from well-known names in the crypto investment space, including Fulgur Ventures, UTXO Management, and TOBAM. Prominent cryptographer and Blockstream CEO Adam Back has also joined as a strategic advisor.
Despite acknowledging the risks associated with the plan, the company maintains a clear goal: “accumulate as much BTC as possible, as fast as possible, in the most accretive way possible.”
To fund this effort, TBG has projected a capital-raising potential ranging from €150 million to €100 billion over eight years, depending on market conditions and investor appetite. If the roadmap unfolds as planned, TBG could soon become Europe’s top corporate holder of Bitcoin.
Share Price Soars in Six Months
Since adopting its Bitcoin-focused model, TBG’s stock performance has mirrored other successful Bitcoin treasury firms. Its share price surged by 120% within the first month, 265% by the third month, and 474% after six months. This trend draws strong parallels to the early growth patterns of companies like Strategy and Metaplanet, both of which committed to the Bitcoin treasury model before TBG.
“Bitcoin treasury companies are the fastest-growing companies in Europe,” TBG stated.
Currently, Strategy remains the leading publicly listed corporate Bitcoin holder with 553,555 BTC—around 2.6% of the global circulating supply.
