Capital B CEO Alexandre Laizet said at BTCPrague that the company plans to keep buying Bitcoin as quickly and as accretively as possible, holding it for the long term. His core argument: Bitcoin is the only asset the U.S. government is unwilling to sell, with BTC in the strategic reserve formally designated as a hold asset.
Why it matters
Laizet pointed to accelerating Bitcoin adoption by financial institutions and corporations worldwide. The strategic reserve designation matters because it removes the largest potential state seller from the market and signals that Washington now treats Bitcoin as long-duration national holdings rather than seized inventory to be auctioned off.
Market impact
Because most global capital can only reach Bitcoin through securities markets, Laizet argued that publicly listed companies are structurally advantaged: they can raise equity and debt to expand holdings and participate in the development of digital capital markets. That is the playbook Capital B is running, and the read for investors is that the listed-treasury model keeps absorbing supply as long as accretive financing stays available. Watch whether other corporates replicate the strategy.
