French blockchain giant acquires 580 BTC, gaining 710% yield

The French company The Blockchain Group has made a significant step towards a bitcoin strategy by acquiring 580 BTC worth about 47.3 million euros (or $ 50.8 million). This brings its total cryptocurrency assets to 620 BTC, which is currently valued at approximately € 50.5 million. The acquisition was carried out by a subsidiary of The Blockchain Group Luxembourg SA with funds raised through the issuance of convertible bonds, which the company announced on March 6, 2025.

The transaction was completed through Swissquote Bank Europe SA, a licensed virtual asset provider in Luxembourg. Bitcoin storage was provided by Taurus, a Swiss company specializing in digital infrastructure. This step is part of the long-term strategy of The Blockchain Group, which in November 2024 announced the transition to the status of a Bitcoin Treasury Company, i.e. a company that focuses not on traditional assets but on bitcoin as the basis of its financial balance sheet.

As part of the new strategy, the company introduced its own performance indicators: BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC € Gain. Since the beginning of 2025, it has achieved an impressive BTC Yield of 709.8%, adding 283.9 BTC and generating a profit of € 23.15 million. This demonstrates its focus on growth in the bitcoin ecosystem rather than traditional financial results.
