Satsuma Technology Raises £163.6M for BTC Expansion
Satsuma Technology raises £163.6M to grow operations and expand its BTC treasury via Singapore despite a steep stock drop.
- £163.6M raised to support BTC strategy and operations
- Funding round led by ParaFi Capital
- SATS stock plunged 25% post-announcement
UK-listed Satsuma Technology has raised £163.6 million ($217.6 million) through a convertible note round led by ParaFi Capital. This fresh capital will be used to expand global operations and, significantly, to strengthen its Bitcoin (BTC) treasury through its Singapore-based subsidiary.
The funding marks a strategic shift for the company, which announced in June that it would begin building a substantial BTC reserve. With Singapore’s crypto-friendly regulatory environment, the firm aims to establish a global foothold in the digital asset space while managing treasury operations more efficiently.
BTC Strategy Hits Stock Performance
Despite the successful fundraising, market reaction has been far from positive. SATS shares dropped 25% on the day of the announcement and are now down over 50% since June. The stock decline reflects lingering investor concerns about the risks tied to Bitcoin’s volatility.
Analysts believe the market is still cautious about companies integrating BTC into their core financial strategies, especially when the broader crypto market remains turbulent. While some view this as a forward-thinking move, others interpret it as a risky pivot from traditional growth plans.
Future Hinges on BTC Execution
Satsuma’s decision to focus on BTC treasury development via Singapore suggests a long-term commitment to digital assets. The involvement of ParaFi Capital, a well-known crypto investment firm, adds credibility to the plan, but execution will be key.
Investors and analysts alike will be closely watching Satsuma’s next steps, particularly how and when it begins adding BTC to its balance sheet. With the right strategy, the company could turn current skepticism into renewed market confidence.
