This acquisition boosts its total cryptocurrency reserve to an impressive 2,937 BTC, aligning with its ongoing strategy to emphasize digital assets in its financial planning.

How Did Capital B Fund Their Latest Acquisition?

The company’s investment in Bitcoin now totals €270.1 million, with an average cost per BTC of €91,975.
