Adam Back can now convert his bonds into Capital B shares at any time — a flexibility he didn’t have before. That change, buried in the fine print of a broader capital raise announced Monday, may matter more than the funding itself.
A Deeper Stake In A Bitcoin-First Company
Capital B, listed on Euronext Growth Paris and recognized as the first Bitcoin Treasury Company in Europe, completed a €1.1 million raise through the issuance of 10 million share subscription warrants.
Back, CEO of Blockstream and one of Bitcoin’s earliest contributors, subscribed to all of them at €0.11 each. Each warrant entitles him to purchase one new share at an exercise price of €0.84 — a price tied to 130% of the company’s recent five-day volume-weighted average and linked to its Bitcoin-backed mNAV metric.

The mNAV figure connects share value directly to the Bitcoin Capital B holds on a fully diluted basis. It’s the company’s preferred yardstick — one it has consistently placed above traditional financial indicators.

Back is no stranger to the company. He has been among its most prominent backers for some time. But this deal deepens his position considerably.
Under a fully diluted scenario, Blockstream Capital Partners would hold 38.11% of Capital B’s capital. Back personally would hold close to 10%. Public and institutional investors account for 40.21%, with management and strategic partners making up the rest.
Bond Terms Revised In Back’s Favor
Alongside the warrant issuance, Capital B restructured the terms of its OCA B-04 convertible bonds, which Back had previously subscribed to.
The conversion price was cut from €5.174 to €2.59 per share — a reduction of roughly 50%. The revision also removed a share price condition that had previously limited when Back could act. He can now convert at any point before the bonds mature.

Each converted bond now also comes with a two-year equity warrant, adding another layer of upside for the holder.
Capital B said the changes reflect current market conditions and are designed to strengthen the incentive for conversion. Shares rose more than 6.5% following the announcement, though the stock remains down more than 16% since January.
Bitcoin Holdings Continue To Grow
The funding comes as Capital B pushes its Bitcoin accumulation strategy forward. In the final week of April, the company added to its reserves with a €0.4 million purchase, bringing total holdings to 2,943 BTC.
The company’s stated goal is to increase the amount of Bitcoin held per share over time on a fully diluted basis.
