Capital BPrivate placement raises funds to buy more Bitcoin, boosting treasury.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back has subscribed to a €7.6 million private placement in France-listed Capital B, which could fund the purchase of up to 376 additional Bitcoin, potentially lifting the company's holdings from 3,145 BTC to a target of 3,521 BTC. The financing, announced on September 2, involves 13,181,030 shares with attached warrants at €0.58 per unit, generating gross proceeds of roughly €7.64 million, or about US$8.8 million. Net proceeds are expected to reach approximately €7.3 million after fees, and the subscription price represented a 15.4% premium to Capital B's September 1 closing share price. The 376 BTC figure represents potential capacity funded by the placement and ongoing operations, not coins already purchased. This deal follows a separate €21 million private placement announced August 28, which could fund 270 BTC and take holdings toward 3,415 BTC, a distinct transaction from this week's 3,521 BTC target. Back already held 54.3 million Capital B shares, or 14.82% of ordinary share capital, and his ownership will rise to roughly 67.49 million shares after the new issuance.
