Press release from Companies
Publicerat: 2025-09-11 17:30:00
The Board of Directors of B Treasury Capital AB (“BTC AB”) has today resolved to propose that an extraordinary general meeting in BTC AB approves the introduction of a new share class – Class A Preference Shares. As a next step, BTC AB intends to explore the possibility of carrying out a directed issue of Class A Preference Shares to institutional and other professional investors during Q4 2025 and a rights issue of Class A Preference Shares to all shareholders in BTC AB during the second half of 2026. Certain members of the board of directors, as well as the CEO Christoffer De Geer, have expressed their intention to participate with an investment in Class A Preference Shares of up to SEK 10 million in aggregate. The Class A Preference Shares are envisaged to be issued at a price of SEK 120 per share, with preferential rights to dividend of SEK 12.00 per year.
Background and reasons
The introduction of Class A Preference Shares represents one of the most efficient ways for BTC AB to generate sustainable bitcoin per share growth. Compared to other financing alternatives, preference shares provide a number of clear strategic advantages:
Dividend distributions on the Class A Preference Shares can be supported in multiple ways, including through premiums in future directed issues, issuance of convertible debt, secured borrowing against BTC holdings, issuance of new preference shares, earning yield on its assets or, if necessary, by selling a portion of the Company’s bitcoin. In a stress scenario, the Company also retains the option to defer dividends, which would accumulate and be paid out as soon as conditions allow.
“Inspired by the trail blazed by Strategy’s preferred share offerings earlier this year, we are proud to introduce the same innovative model to the Nordics – starting with a monthly-payout, non-convertible preference share tailored to Nordic investors.” – Christoffer De Geer, CEO, BTC AB
Terms, conditions and indicative timetable
The proposed new Class A Preference Shares are envisaged to have the following key characteristics:
For further details, please refer to the proposed new articles of association that will be set out in the notice to the extraordinary general meeting, to be published separately.
Following the extraordinary general meeting’s adoption of the new articles of association, the contemplated new issue of Class A Preference Shares is envisaged to be completed in two steps, with a first issue in a size within the range of 10-15 per cent of the balance sheet total, meaning the preference share capital would be 7.5-10x collateralized with a highly liquid asset. This substantial over-collateralization ensures that even in a severe market downturn, BTC AB’s bitcoin holdings retain sufficient value to protect preference shareholders, while at the same time keeping the risk to B-shareholders at a substantially lower level than in companies relying on dept financing. The Class A Preference Shares will be directed to institutional and other professional investors during Q4 2025, subject to market conditions. Certain members of the board of directors, as well as the CEO Christoffer De Geer, have expressed their intention to participate with an investment in Class A Preference Shares of up to SEK 10 million in aggregate. The second step, a rights issue to the ordinary Class B shareholders in BTC AB, is expected to close during the first half of 2026, subject to market conditions as well as BTC AB preparing and registering a prospectus with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Sw. Finansinspektionen). The first distribution of dividends on the Class A Preference Shares is envisaged to be made during the first half of 2026, subject to the approval by the annual general meeting 2026 in BTC AB.
Extraordinary general meeting
The Board of Directors has resolved to propose that an extraordinary general meeting of BTC AB resolves to adopt new articles of association whereby a new share class, Class A Preference Shares, is introduced. The Board of Directors will also propose that the general meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to resolve on issues of Class A Preference Shares with or without preferential rights for the existing shareholders in BTC AB.
A notice to the extraordinary general meeting will be published separately within short.
