Bitcoin at the heart of a new European credit model
As financial players seek new applications for digital assets, French Bitcoin treasury Capital B is moving forward on a project aimed at bringing Bitcoin and traditional credit markets closer together. During a interview with Gareth Jenkinson of The Block During BTC Prague, board member Alexandre Laizet explained that the company is developing a credit product inspired by Strategy's STRC and Strive's SATA models:
Our responsibility is to provide a solution to a Europe facing high taxes, major security challenges and regulations that are unsuitable for the digital age, by offering a digital credit instrument designed to meet the needs of the European market.

According to his declarations, this future instrument aims to respond to the challenges of the European market, in particular high taxation and regulations considered unsuitable for the digital economy. The stated objective is to propose a solution capable of transforming the functioning of financial markets.
The model relies on the Bitcoin reserves held by the company. These assets serve as the underlying asset of the future financial product. As of today, the company has 3,139 BTC in its treasury, which forms the basis of this strategy.
According to Alexandre Laizet, companies specializing in Bitcoin reserves could generate double-digit returns while maintaining limited volatility. He believes that “ the historical growth of this asset represents a central element of this economic model “. Furthermore, Capital B intends to adapt this mechanism to the European market.
Capital B is banking on the growth of digital credit
For the company, digital credit instruments are gradually gaining interest among investors. Alexandre Laizet indicated that the company had observed a tenfold increase in the number of investors interested in this segment compared to the previous year.
According to him, specialized treasury companies have a particular advantage thanks to the potential valuation of Bitcoin in the long term. He notably cited the example of Strategy, which recently sold 32 BTC to pay dividends before acquiring 1,587 BTC again shortly after.
This dynamic reinforces the ambitions of Capital B, which presents itself as the first and largest European treasury company dedicated to digital assets. Listed on Euronext Growth Paris under the symbol ALCPB, the company also benefits from the support of specialized investors, including Adam Back and Fulgur Ventures.
Furthermore, the company has ambitious objectives. Its website says that it aims to accumulate 1% of the total Bitcoin supply by 2033. She also plans to hold 15,000 BTC before the end of 2027.
Risks, security and long-term ambitions
Despite the perspectives put forward by the company, its managers recognize the existence of several risks. Among them are the potential devaluation of digital assets, counterparty risk as well as issues related to the custody of funds.
Alexandre Laizet, however, affirmed that “ the probability of a zero value for Bitcoin remained, according to him, extremely low “. He also clarified that the company works exclusively with regulated banks and draws on experts in capital markets, technology and corporate finance.
For the moment, no official schedule regarding the launch of the product has been communicated. Nevertheless, Capital B is continuing to develop this initiative in a context where digital credit is attracting growing interest in Europe.
In the medium term, the evolution of the European regulatory framework and institutional adoption could influence the success of this type of initiative. The development of new financial instruments backed by Bitcoin could thus help to gradually transform European digital markets, while Capital B pursues its growth objectives.
