  • Industry executives at Paris Blockchain Week 2026 said European firms face significantly different regulatory and capital market constraints that prevent them from replicating Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin treasury model.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Germany\u2019s Bitcoin Group SE leads European public holders with 3,605 BTC, while France\u2019s Capital B holds 2,925 BTC at a roughly 25.6% unrealised loss.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • European companies are turning to French public markets and Luxembourg-based structures to raise capital tied to Bitcoin.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    European companies adopting Bitcoin (BTC) treasury strategies are building around local capital markets and regulatory limits instead of replicating the debt-driven model used by Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy.<\/p>\n

    Thomas Vogel, a partner at Latham & Watkins in Paris and Frankfurt, said European issuers face different limits when raising capital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    He said convertible issuance from a French or broader European balance sheet does not offer the same flexibility as in the US, citing weaker market depth, tighter regulation and different investor behaviour.<\/p>\n

    That has produced a fragmented field of listed Bitcoin holders across Europe, concentrated in smaller public companies rather than large-cap issuers. Data from BitcoinTreasuries.net shows Germany\u2019s Bitcoin Group SE as the largest listed holder in the region with 3,605 BTC worth about US$268 million (AU$375.2 million).<\/p>\n

    Way Below The US Market<\/h2>\n

    The scale remains far below the US market, as Strategy bought 13,927 BTC for about US$1 billion (AU$1.4 billion) in a single week, lifting its total holdings to 780,897 BTC, well above the combined Bitcoin holdings of Europe\u2019s listed public companies.<\/p>\n

    Alexandre Laizet, who leads Bitcoin strategy at Capital B, said European firms are instead using local market infrastructure, including French public markets and Luxembourg-based structures, to raise capital linked to Bitcoin exposure.<\/p>\n

    That means more conservative treasury positions that are aligned with local regulation and market conditions. It also (probably) means lower BTC accumulation.<\/p>\n
