ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptoslate, European listed company The Blockchain Group received shareholder approval on June 10 to launch a financing plan of up to 11 billion euros to accelerate its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. The proposal passed with over 95% support, authorizing the company to expand its Bitcoin reserves through flexible financing tools such as issuing stocks and bonds.
Newly appointed Deputy CEO Alexandre Laizet will lead the Bitcoin strategy, with a board term until 2030. The company's CEO stated that this initiative will drive deeper synergies between the Bitcoin reserve strategy and its core businesses, including data intelligence and AI consulting.
