The Paris-based firm isn’t just expanding — it’s going all in. Central to its strategy: acquiring 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply. That’s roughly 210,000 BTC — a stake worth over $13 billion at current market prices.
This bold vision places The Blockchain Group in the same conversation as major players like MicroStrategy.
1% of Bitcoin: More Than a Number
Bitcoin’s total supply is capped at 21 million coins. This hard limit is one reason Bitcoin is often called “digital gold” — it’s scarce by design. By targeting 1% of that supply, The Blockchain Group is betting big on Bitcoin’s long-term value and its role in the future of finance.
Historically, such accumulation has been a North American trend. U.S.-based firms like MicroStrategy have made headlines for buying thousands of BTC to hedge against inflation and store long-term value. Now, Europe may have its own Bitcoin juggernaut. The Blockchain Group aims to serve as a homegrown institutional anchor, signaling confidence in crypto’s staying power — and Europe’s readiness to lead.
The Blockchain Group plans to become Europe’s largest publically traded corporation.

This move follows a broader trend: institutional investors warming up to digital assets. According to a 2024 report by Fidelity Digital Assets, over 74% of institutions globally now have crypto exposure, up from 45% just three years ago. Europe, once cautious, is catching up fast.
A Ripple Through the Ecosystem
If successful, the acquisition could trigger ripple effects across markets and policy. A large European firm publicly holding a significant share of Bitcoin may push regulators to accelerate clarity around digital assets. It could also encourage other European firms to follow suit, not just in buying BTC but in integrating blockchain into traditional finance.
Take Deutsche Telekom, for example. Once known only for telecom services, it now actively runs validator nodes on networks like Ethereum and Polkadot. Europe’s corporate giants are increasingly embracing blockchain. The Blockchain Group’s bold move is part of this shift, but on a much larger scale.
