Capital B is preparing a Bitcoin-backed credit instrument for European investors. The Paris-listed company plans to model the product on recent Bitcoin-linked credit offerings in the United States. Company director Alexandre Laizet said the instrument aims to deliver double-digit yields while keeping volatility below double digits.

Capital B Targets European Bitcoin Credit Market

Laizet discussed the project during an interview with The Block at BTC Prague. He said Capital B wants to address challenges facing European investors. He argued that high taxes, security concerns, and outdated regulations continue to limit market development.

He added that the company remains focused on creating a digital credit instrument suited to the region. He also said the product could alter current market dynamics.

The planned instrument will use Bitcoin holdings as its underlying asset. Capital B currently holds 3,139 BTC in its treasury. The company trades on Euronext Growth Paris under the ticker ALCPB.

Laizet said Bitcoin treasury companies can support attractive returns through their balance sheets. He stated that traditional financial products often require decades of future cash flows. However, he argued that bitcoin holdings already provide similar long-term value.

“A Bitcoin treasury company already has 40-50 years of cash flows on its balance sheet today,” Laizet said. He also claimed that bitcoin assets have historically grown between 30% and 60% annually. The company expects this structure to support the proposed instrument.

Bitcoin Holdings Support Yield Strategy

Laizet pointed to recent activity by Strategy as an example. He said the company sold 32 BTC to meet STRC dividend obligations. However, it later acquired 1,587 BTC shortly afterward.

He said such transactions show how treasury companies can manage yield products. According to Laizet, bitcoin appreciation supports these structures. He also reported rising investor interest in digital credit products.

Capital B has recorded strong growth in inquiries from potential investors. Laizet said the number of interested participants increased tenfold compared with last year. He linked that growth to expanding demand for bitcoin-backed financial products.

The executive also acknowledged risks connected to the proposed instrument. He cited bitcoin devaluation, custody arrangements, and counterparty exposure. However, he said the company works with regulated banking partners to manage operations.

He added that Capital B employs specialists in capital markets, technology, and corporate finance. He declined to provide a launch date for the instrument.

Capital B describes itself as Europe’s largest bitcoin treasury company. The company counts Bitcoin-focused investors, including Adam Back and Fulgur Ventures, among its supporters. According to its published targets, Capital B aims to hold 15,000 BTC by 2027 and accumulate 1% of bitcoin’s total supply by 2033.
