June 30, 2025
A growing trend among London-listed firms is the adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury asset, signaling a significant shift towards digital asset innovation in corporate finance.
Recently, nine UK-listed companies have announced plans to integrate Bitcoin into their corporate treasuries, reflecting a broader trend in the cryptocurrency market.
Companies like Smarter Web and Bluebird Mining Ventures are investing millions in Bitcoin, with Smarter Web acquiring nearly 200 BTC as part of its long-term strategy, dubbed 'The 10 Year Plan.'
Aidan Bishop, the Interim CEO of Bluebird, highlighted the company's commitment to merging mining projects with Bitcoin as a long-term asset.
Panther Metals has confirmed a purchase of one Bitcoin and aims to accumulate Bitcoin holdings worth £4 million, with its shares rising 81% this month due to Bitcoin's increasing value.
The adoption of Bitcoin has led to significant market volatility for involved companies, with Smarter Web Co experiencing dramatic fluctuations in market capitalization based on investor sentiment.
Despite the volatility, regulatory responses to Bitcoin's adoption have remained muted, indicating a cautious yet optimistic outlook on integrating digital assets into traditional finance.
Vinanz Ltd has increased its Bitcoin holdings to 65.03 BTC, valued over $6.3 million, as part of its treasury strategy, and plans to rebrand as the London BTC Company.
This trend reflects a broader shift in corporate strategies, utilizing Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainty, similar to strategies employed by U.S. companies like MicroStrategy.
Tao Alpha plans to raise £100 million to support its Bitcoin treasury strategy, attracting considerable investor interest.
Bluebird Mining Ventures has seen a nearly 400% rise in shares since announcing its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, having raised £2 million in debt to fund purchases.
Experts believe that the growing institutional acceptance of digital assets could significantly impact Bitcoin's liquidity and price stability.
