Méliuz Pioneers as First Latin American Bitcoin Treasury Firm on OTCQX, Surging to $1.4M Profit with 908% Yield
August 16, 2025
Effective August 15, 2025, the OTCQX listing grants Méliuz access to U.S. capital markets, boosting investor confidence and helping it meet strict financial and governance standards to attract international investment.
Méliuz's recent listing on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker MLIZY marks a major milestone, especially as the first Bitcoin treasury company in Brazil and Latin America, opening new opportunities for emerging market fintechs to access global capital and set governance standards.
This listing not only boosts the company's credibility but also positions it as a pioneer in integrating Bitcoin treasury strategies within the fintech sector, potentially serving as a model for future growth.
Operationally, Méliuz has demonstrated resilience by turning around from an $11 million loss in 2024 to a $1.4 million profit in the second quarter of 2025, driven by a remarkable 908% Bitcoin yield between Q1 and Q2 2025, showcasing effective treasury management.
However, investors should be mindful of risks such as Bitcoin market volatility, regulatory changes in Brazil and the U.S., and the current Brazilian accounting rules that do not recognize unrealized gains.
Méliuz's integrated platform combines e-commerce, financial services, and Bitcoin treasury management, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that enhances user engagement, sales, and Bitcoin holdings, especially amid Brazil’s growing digital economy.
The OTCQX listing supports Méliuz’s plans to expand its Bitcoin treasury model, with unrealized Bitcoin revenue of $5.5 million and strategies to explore fundraising options like share issuance and debt instruments, aligning with practices of U.S.-listed Bitcoin companies.
With approximately 596 BTC, Méliuz ranks 46th globally among publicly traded firms in Bitcoin holdings, highlighting its strategic position in digital assets.
The company's innovative approach offers a blueprint for emerging market fintechs to leverage digital assets for diversification and hedging against local currency volatility, positioning it as a pioneer at the intersection of fintech and crypto.
