Key topics
— Capital B secured shareholder approval for €5 billion in equity issuance capacity and €100 billion in credit instrument capacity, positioning the company to scale its Bitcoin treasury strategy across Europe.
— Digital credit is emerging as a major opportunity; perpetual, Bitcoin-backed credit instruments (pioneered by MicroStrategy and Strive) can provide financing without liquidation risk, with rates of 12–13% versus traditional leverage rates of 7–8%.
— Recent volatility in digital credit products (STRC, SATA, STRF) revealed that seniority, cash reserves, investor protections, and balance-sheet structure directly impact instrument stability and valuation—lessons Capital B is studying closely.
— Capital B aims to replicate MicroStrategy's playbook in Europe, particularly through France's progressive regulatory framework, which governs 40% of European credit markets and shows openness to digital asset innovation.
— Institutional Bitcoin adoption is happening "silently"—via ETFs, bank lending, and corporate balance sheets—rather than through retail hype, marking a shift toward financial maturation and professionalization.
— Bitcoin's long-term bull case hinges on monetary devaluation (7% annualized money supply growth since 1960), scarcity, and potential institutional positioning ahead of the next cycle.
Market & price signals
— Current Bitcoin trades near the 200-week moving average with 50% of supply in profit and 50% in loss—historically a bottoming phase. Based on past cycle patterns, Bitcoin could reach $300,000–$600,000 in the next cycle, and $1–$3 million over 5–10 years. Capital B has outperformed Bitcoin 2–3× since launching its strategy in November 2024. Digital credit products like STRC have shown high correlation with balance-sheet structure: STRC fell to $0.70–$0.80, SATA to $0.85–$0.95, and STRF to $0.85 during recent volatility, with recovery tied to cash reserves and seniority. Alexandre observes institutional positioning occurring ahead of anticipated bull markets, though not yet visible in spot price.
Actionable insights
— Bitcoin treasury companies with perpetual financing and no fiat leverage are well-positioned for long-term accumulation; Capital B's absence of fiat leverage and premium MNAV valuation reflect market confidence in this approach.
— For Bitcoin holders considering amplified equity exposure, digital credit instruments demand serious due diligence on seniority, cash-reserve consistency (1.5–2 years minimum), and legal protections—recent volatility showed these fundamentals matter far more than rate adjustments.
— If institutional silent adoption and corporate balance-sheet growth continue, Bitcoin's scarcity and utility as a reserve asset for AI-era value storage make it a foundational hedge; early positioning at current prices may offer asymmetric risk-reward over 5–10 years.
