Europe's Bitcoin treasuries win EUR 5B capital, EUR 100B credit; BTC AB tests demand with SEK 23.4m rights issue

What changed

BTC AB's rights issue itself tests investor demand: up to 195,078 Class A preference shares at SEK 120.00 per share, targeting gross proceeds of about SEK 23.4 million, with legally binding subscription undertakings of around SEK 6.4 million and non-binding management intentions of SEK 2.4 million Bitcoin News.
