Treasury BV Raises €126M to Lead Europe’s Bitcoin Market
Dutch crypto investment firm Treasury BV has completed a landmark €126 million ($147M) private funding round, led by Winklevoss Capital and Nakamoto Holdings. The company is now positioning itself to become Europe’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin company.
Treasury BV’s Big Bet on Bitcoin
The financing round, announced on September 3, enabled Treasury BV to acquire over 1,000 BTC, strengthening its balance sheet with one of the largest corporate Bitcoin purchases in Europe to date. CEO Hing Oei emphasized the company’s mission:
The company also secured the rights to host the Bitcoin Amsterdam conference, underlining its ambition to promote cryptocurrency adoption across the continent.
Path to a Public Listing on Euronext Amsterdam
To achieve its listing ambitions, Treasury BV has entered into a mandatory merger agreement with Dutch investment firm MKB Nedsense (MKBN). According to the deal:
- MKBN will transfer all assets to its largest shareholder, Value8 NV.
- New shares will then be issued to Treasury BV investors.
- Once finalized, the merged entity is expected to trade on Euronext Amsterdam under the ticker TRSR.
CEO Oei framed this move as part of a larger vision:
A New Chapter in European Crypto Investment
With Europe tightening regulations yet fostering innovation, Treasury BV’s listing is likely to be seen as a milestone for institutional Bitcoin adoption on the continent. Oei concluded:
