Capital B raised $17.8 million from investors, including Adam Back and TOBAM, saying proceeds could help add 182 BTC to its treasury.

The new capital was raised through a private placement of shares, with four share subscription warrants attached to each share at a fixed price of $0.78, the company said Monday. The company said the proceeds, together with ongoing operations, could allow it to acquire another 182 Bitcoin, potentially lifting its total holdings to 3,125 BTC. Read more

The Blockstream CEO subscribed to 10 million warrants as Capital B pushes ahead with its Bitcoin treasury strategy. Capital B raised 1.1 million euros ($1.28 million) through a warrant issuance subscribed by Blockstream CEO Adam Back, extending the cryptographer’s backing of the French-listed Bitcoin treasury company. Back subscribed to 10 million subscription warrants at $0.13 each, according to a Monday announcement from Capital B. Each warrant gives Back the right to buy one new share of future company stock at the exercise price of $0.98, corresponding to the company’s market net asset value (mNAV) of 1.1 per share, the company said. The deal would increase Back’s exposure to Capital B, where he is already one of the company’s largest strategic investors. Back now holds over 39.5 million shares or 9.97% of Capital B’s shares on a fully diluted basis. Back is best known as the inventor of Hashcash, the proof-of-work system cited in the Bitcoin white paper. Read more

Crypto markets splinter as miners pivot to AI, BitMine doubles down on ETH, stablecoin liquidity idles, and tokenized Treasurys reshape trading collateral. Historically, crypto markets have been driven by a dominant narrative. Not today.  In one corner, miners are trying to break free of four-year cycles. IREN is being recast as an AI infrastructure company, with analysts pointing to data centers and compute demand as the real growth engine. In another corner, BitMine is doing the exact opposite, pouring billions deeper into Ether (ETH) even as losses mount.  The disconnect doesn’t stop there. Stablecoin balances have ballooned to over $300 billion, yet activity has dropped sharply. It reflects capital waiting, with no clear consensus on what comes next. Read more
