Shareholders approved €300M issuance; June vote may increase to €500M for Bitcoin buys.
Bitcoin held above $100K despite a 4% drop from the Musk-Trump dispute, then rebounded.
The Blockchain Group, a French company listed on Euronext
Growth (ALTBG), plans to raise up to €300 million to buy Bitcoin. The company
announced the launch of a new share issuance program to fund the purchases.
The offering will use an “at-the-market” (ATM)
structure. This means shares will be issued gradually, with the sale price
based on the market price each day. French asset manager TOBAM is backing the
program. It will act as the financial intermediary, buying shares directly on
the market.
Company Seeks €500M Bitcoin Issuance
The Blockchain Group said all funds raised will be used to
buy Bitcoin. The company wants to increase the amount of Bitcoin it holds per
share. It believes this strategy will attract investors interested in Bitcoin
exposure through a public company.
The company’s shareholders had approved a similar plan in
February, allowing the company to issue shares worth up to €300 million. A vote
scheduled for June 10 may extend the limit to €500 million.

Simon Peters, crypto analyst at eToro, noted that Bitcoin
recently remained just above the $100,000 mark amid ongoing market
fluctuations. He highlighted that last week, Bitcoin’s price fell nearly 4%
following an online dispute between Elon Musk and President Trump,
before recovering to around $100,400.
As news of a possible reconciliation
between the two spread, Bitcoin rebounded to approximately $105,500. Peters
said, “Bitcoin narrowly stayed above the $100,000 level as the online spat
between Elon Musk and President Trump spilled over from traditional markets.”
Peters added that Friday’s stronger-than-expected U.S.
non-farm payrolls report supported Bitcoin’s recent gains. Looking ahead, he
said upcoming inflation data, including the consumer price index (CPI) and
producer price index (PPI), could cause increased volatility in the market.
“Inflation data in the form of CPI and PPI could provide some volatility,” he
said.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
