Crypto Blockchain Industries declares an €20 million loan financing for purchasing Bitcoins
In the evolving world of cryptocurrency, corporate interest in Bitcoin as a treasury asset continues to grow, with smaller firms leading the charge. This trend is highlighted by the recent move made by Crypto Blockchain Industries (CBI), who have secured a €20 million non-dilutive loan to purchase Bitcoin and mining equipment.
This loan, which avoids shareholder dilution, is part of a broader trend of companies raising capital specifically for Bitcoin acquisition and mining expansion. The investment demonstrates growing corporate confidence in the potential of Bitcoin both as a treasury asset and as a mining business opportunity.

Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin has surpassed $100,000, currently trading at $107,384.98 with a market cap of approximately $2.14 trillion. The 24-hour trading volume saw a 17.53% decrease, but over the past 90 days, Bitcoin's price increased by 28.18%.
However, analysts caution that while corporate Bitcoin treasury adoption fuels buying pressure and can drive prices higher, it introduces risks. For example, Standard Chartered highlights the possibility of a market reversal if Bitcoin prices decline, potentially triggering a vicious cycle affecting companies holding leveraged Bitcoin treasury positions. Moreover, companies raising capital to buy Bitcoin risk shareholder value dilution if their stock no longer trades at a premium, as emphasized by VanEck’s digital assets lead.
