Coinsilium Group Limited (AQSE:COIN, OTCQB:CINGF) CEO Eddy Travia and CFO Ben Proffitt talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's interim results, treasury strategy and future outlook. Proffitt outlined the financial transformation driven by the launch of Forza Bitcoin, which raised approximately £17 million over the summer. Around 182 Bitcoin have now been added to the company's treasury, leading to a significant rise in digital assets on the balance sheet. “Our Bitcoin value on the balance sheet moved from around £0.5 million to £6 million,” Proffitt stated, with cash reserves also increasing from £400,000 to £3.5 million. Travia said the Bitcoin treasury forms a foundational asset base but clarified that Coinsilium remains fundamentally a blockchain venture builder and investor. He noted that many of the company's investments are held at cost due to their early-stage nature, but expects token launches to begin unlocking value. On this point, Proffitt discussed the Yellow Network's upcoming $YELLOW token launch. Once live, the tokens will provide market-based valuations, enabling Coinsilium to reflect fair value in its portfolio. Looking ahead, Travia highlighted three major trends for 2026: the tokenisation of real-world assets, greater adoption of stablecoins, and evolving regulations opening the door to broader crypto adoption. “AI will play a role in the automation of crypto trading,” he added.

Coinsilium Group Limited (AQSE:COIN, OTCQB:CINGF) executive chairman Malcolm Palle talked with Proactive about the company's strategic move into the Bitcoin treasury space with the establishment of its wholly owned subsidiary, Forza. Palle described the company's response to growing interest in Bitcoin among UK investors, and the regulatory challenges that prompted a unique structural approach. "Forza is our treasury company. It's there to provide robustness and strength and resilience to Coinsilium Group in the years ahead," Palle explained. He emphasised that Bitcoin is viewed by the company not as a speculative asset but as a digital commodity akin to digital gold, offering long-term value and stability. Strategic advisor James Van Straten contextualised Coinsilium's position, noting it now holds 182 Bitcoin, placing it 70th on the global list of Bitcoin treasury companies. He pointed out that retail access to Bitcoin in the UK remains limited, making publicly traded treasury companies like Coinsilium a valuable entry point. "It is a race... a digital gold rush," he said. Van Straten also highlighted the macro tailwinds for Bitcoin adoption, including reduced volatility, growing institutional participation in the US, and the historical precedent set by MicroStrategy's early entry into the space. He stated that Bitcoin's limited supply and expanding global interest could support continued growth over the coming years. The interview also addressed Coinsilium's capital-raising strategy and market volatility. Palle said, "We've managed to do several fundraises… which have given us a total of 17 million, of which we've deployed most." Looking ahead, he said the company aims to pursue further Bitcoin accumulation in a value-accretive manner. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more videos.

Coinsilium's Strategic Approach to Bitcoin Treasury Management Zak Mir talks to Malcolm Palle, Executive Chairman of Coinsilium, as the Aquis-quoted digital asset investor and venture builder provides an update on its Bitcoin treasury activity and that of its wholly owned Gibraltar subsidiary, Forza Gibraltar Limited, established to implement the company's dedicated Bitcoin-focused treasury operations.  Palle describes the progress of Coinsilium over the recent Bitcoin Treasury Strategy boom and how the company's experience in the digital space is a key differentiator. Raising Capital and Deploying Bitcoin Treasury Strategy Malcolm highlights that Coinsilium's Bitcoin treasury strategy is built on three essential pillars: raising capital, purchasing Bitcoin, and communicating these developments to shareholders and the market. The company's ability to acquire Bitcoin is directly tied to the funds raised, and despite the challenges presented by the UK market—particularly compared to the more mature US ecosystem—Coinsilium remains optimistic about its growth trajectory. Recently, Coinsilium completed a £5 million placing alongside a £510,000 wrap with Winterflood, which was significantly oversubscribed. This marks the company's largest fundraising effort to date, underscoring strong investor confidence. Importantly, all new funds raised are dedicated almost exclusively to Bitcoin purchases, with only minimal allocation for working capital and no other investments outside the core focus. In addition to the fresh capital raise, Coinsilium acquired approximately 12 more Bitcoin from its existing resources, bringing the total to 124 Bitcoin as of mid-2024. Malcolm anticipates that following the deployment of the new funds, the company's Bitcoin holdings could increase by nearly 50%, a substantial boost that will further cement Coinsilium's position as a leverage play on Bitcoin. Navigating Market Volatility and Funding Dynamics Malcolm candidly acknowledges the turbulent market conditions, likening the current environment to flying a plane through heavy turbulence. Despite this, he advises investors to maintain a long-term perspective, focusing on the broader horizon rather than short-term market noise. The dynamic nature of funding availability and market capitalization impacts Coinsilium's ability to raise capital, but recent developments such as Oak Securities' launch of a dedicated digital asset fund provide encouraging signs of growing institutional support. Coinsilium's lean operational structure—without large teams or costly offices—means that a smaller proportion of funds raised must be allocated to overheads. This efficiency allows more capital to be directed toward Bitcoin acquisition, further reinforcing the company's core treasury strategy. What Differentiates Coinsilium in a Crowded Market With an increasing number of companies adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies, Malcolm stresses the importance of experience and a well-defined approach. Coinsilium's long-standing presence in the digital asset space provides a strong foundation, contrasting with many newer entrants who may lack a robust strategy or the ability to sustain funding over multiple raises. He urges investors and companies alike to conduct thorough research before entering this space. Holding some Bitcoin on a balance sheet is not sufficient; a company's roadmap, treasury policy, and strategic vision must be carefully examined. Coinsilium's publicly available Bitcoin treasury policy outlines its objectives and methodology, serving as a valuable resource for understanding the company's commitment to this space. Malcolm also highlights the importance of understanding the concept of a leverage play on Bitcoin. Investors often evaluate companies based on the "MNAV" (multiple of net asset value), which functions similarly to a price-to-earnings ratio in traditional equity markets. This metric helps determine whether a company's valuation is justified by its Bitcoin holdings and growth prospects. Regulatory and Structural Considerations in the UK Unlike some US counterparts, UK companies face additional regulatory complexities when structuring Bitcoin treasury operations. Companies cannot simply exist as entities that hold Bitcoin; they must have underlying business activities that differentiate them from passive holders or trackers of cryptocurrency value. Coinsilium meets these requirements through its diversified investments and operational ventures, including its wholly owned Gibraltar subsidiary, Forza Gibraltar Limited, which focuses on Bitcoin treasury operations. These regulatory nuances add a layer of complexity but also contribute to the credibility and sustainability of companies like Coinsilium in the UK market. As the regulatory environment evolves, Malcolm remains hopeful that conditions will become even more conducive to growth in this sector. Looking Ahead: Continued Growth and Market Engagement Coinsilium is poised to continue its momentum, with several announcements planned over the summer to keep the growth flywheel turning. The company's strategy of raising capital, acquiring Bitcoin, and communicating progress is expected to persist as market conditions stabilize and institutional involvement deepens. Malcolm's final message for investors is one of cautious optimism: despite volatility and funding challenges, Coinsilium's disciplined approach and deep experience position it well to capitalize on the expanding Bitcoin treasury strategy landscape. Conclusion Coinsilium's journey in the Bitcoin treasury space exemplifies a measured, strategic approach to digital asset investment. By focusing on sustainable fundraising, disciplined Bitcoin acquisition, and clear communication, the company offers a compelling value proposition amid a rapidly evolving market. Investors and observers looking to understand the nuances of Bitcoin treasury strategies would do well to consider Coinsilium's experience and operational rigor as a benchmark in this burgeoning sector. For those interested in learning more about Coinsilium and its strategy, exploring the company's detailed Bitcoin treasury policy and staying attuned to upcoming announcements will provide deeper insights into its vision and execution.

Bitcoin treasury stocks ≠ bitcoinI hope that is clear.Now a rant.The Great British FCA Crypto FarceI'm looking at the price of Coinsilium (AQUIS:COIN) this morning. It is ranging from 60p to 30p, i.e. doubling and halving. This situation means the beloved UK market makers might be creaming off enough money to keep them in caviar and truffles for the foreseeable future, but the ordinary retail investor is getting hammered.In the course of 7 trading days, Coinsilium has gone from 6p to 90p to 30p.The bitcoin price, meanwhile, is pretty much unchanged.This situation is almost entirely a creation of the FCA, with its decision to “protect” UK investors from the dangers of cryptocurrencies. That protection began in 2020 when bitcoin was $5,000. Today it's $105,000. That's a $100,000 per coin increase—a 21x or 2,000% gain—UK investors were protected from.Remember UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak spinning his “Britcoin” BS?“It's my ambition to make the UK a global hub for cryptoasset technology, and the measures we've outlined today will help to ensure firms can invest, innovate and scale up in this country.We want to see the businesses of tomorrow – and the jobs they create – here in the UK, and by regulating effectively we can give them the confidence they need to think and invest long-term.This is part of our plan to ensure the UK financial services industry is always at the forefront of technology and innovation.”Nobody told the FCA!

(Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) was the leader in phase one.)The Japanese company announced this week that it has raised another $500 million, with which it is going to pay down its 0% debt and buy more bitcoins. Why is it paying down its debt? Presumably to clean up its balance sheet so it can raise further capital on better terms to buy more bitcoin (it has targeted 1% of total supply, which would be 210,000 bitcoin). The Japanese market is starved of bitcoin access. Metaplanet is exploiting this situation.Despite a flat bitcoin price, there was a worldwide sell-off of treasury companies starting on Monday. The sell-off coincided, as these things always seem to, with coverage in the mainstream press. In this case, the Mail marked the top with a piece on the Smarter Web Company.Pretty much all the treasury sh1tcos are now down 50–70%. Is that it? Game over?
