Capital B Announces 10-for-1 Reverse Stock Split to Boost Institutional Appeal

Strategic Restructuring Ahead of Institutional Expansion

European bitcoin treasury firm Capital B has announced a significant corporate restructuring move—a 10-for-1 reverse stock split—set to take effect on September 8. Previously known as The Blockchain Group, the Paris-listed entity is aiming to enhance its appeal among institutional investors by increasing its share price and aligning with global investment standards.

This technical maneuver will reduce the total number of outstanding shares from over 300 million to approximately 30 million, raising the nominal value per share from €0.08 to €0.80. While this does not alter the overall valuation of shareholder equity, it positions Capital B more favorably within regulated investment frameworks that often exclude low-priced equities.

Key Implementation Details

• The reverse split window opens August 6 and closes September 7.
• Existing shareholders whose holdings are divisible by ten will automatically receive new consolidated shares without further action.
• Fractional entitlements will be settled in cash, distributed beginning September 14.
• Trading of pre-split shares ends September 7; consolidated shares debut under a new ISIN on September 8.
• Certain convertible bond conversions and warrant exercises are paused between August 17 and September 10, with terms adjusted accordingly post-split.

Market Impact and Strategic Outlook

Currently trading around €0.48, Capital B's stock could see upward repricing closer to €4.80 if current valuations hold steady. This repositioning supports the company’s long-term ambition to broaden its investor base beyond retail markets into institutional corridors where pricing thresholds can act as barriers to entry.

Beyond structural adjustments, Capital B continues to reinforce its core mission: building one of Europe’s most substantial corporate bitcoin treasuries. With over 3,139 BTC held on its balance sheet, it ranks second among European publicly traded firms in terms of digital asset exposure, just behind Bitcoin Group SE.

In addition to expanding its BTC reserves through recent fundraises—including a notable acquisition of 192 BTC for €13 million—the company is exploring innovative financial products such as bitcoin-backed credit solutions tailored for European markets.
