Capital B Implements 10-for-1 Stock Consolidation to Attract Institutional Investors... Strengthening Bitcoin Asset Management Capabilities

French company Capital B, which holds the second-largest Bitcoin treasury in Europe, announced on July 20, 2026, that it has approved a 10-for-1 reverse stock split to fundamentally restructure its investor composition. This decision aims to move away from retail-centric trading and secure funds from institutional investors who can support the company's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

"This reverse stock split is a strategic choice to broaden our investor base and raise the share price level, providing a more attractive investment environment for institutions managing large-scale capital."

Capital B's Board of Directors has finalized the approval of a 10-for-1 reverse split to consolidate shares and increase the price per share. Generally, institutional investors tend to avoid low-priced penny stocks, and Capital B plans to remove these psychological and institutional barriers through this split to attract high-quality capital.

Position as Europe's Leading Bitcoin Treasury Company

Capital B has also shown a solid trend in recent operational performance. The company recently invested 800,000 euros (approx. 0.8M€) to purchase an additional 12 Bitcoins, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 2,937. This asset size ranks among the top Bitcoin treasury holders in Europe.

• Total Bitcoin holdings: 2,937 BTC
• Recent purchase size: 12 BTC (equivalent to 800,000 euros)
• Annual cumulative BTC Yield: 1.57%

In particular, the 1.57% 'BTC Yield' presented as an indicator by Capital B suggests that the company is not merely holding assets but is achieving results through active management strategies. This financial health is expected to serve as a key indicator to instill confidence in institutional investors who will enter after the stock merger.

Capital B's move is in line with the broad trend of stock mergers appearing in the financial market in mid-2026. In early July 2026, many companies are choosing merger strategies to enhance stock value, such as American Bitcoin Corp announcing a 15-to-1 merger and Future FinTech executing a 4-to-1 merger. This is being referred to as the 'Great Divide' phenomenon within the market and is becoming a major means of preserving stock value.

Operational Schedule and Market Regulatory Considerations

The recently approved stock merger is scheduled to officially take effect in September 2026. Currently, Capital B's stock is actively traded on the US OTCID market under the ticker symbol 'CPTLF,' and once the merger process is complete, the trading units and prices in that market will also be adjusted. The company emphasized that it will continue to communicate with investors through transparent disclosures even after the merger.

According to the Federal Register, regulatory authorities and exchanges are taking a cautious stance to prevent order entry errors or confusion in price discovery that may occur during the stock merger process. Since some exchanges implement temporary trading suspensions to ensure accurate order adjustments immediately after a merger, investors should closely monitor market disclosures at the time of the merger.

Capital B's 10-to-1 stock merger is interpreted as a strategic move to expand the company's credibility and scale beyond simple numerical adjustments. After the merger is actually implemented this coming September, whether the increased stock price can successfully attract the large-scale capital inflows from institutional investors that the company expects will be a key point to watch in determining Capital B's future growth.
