Méliuz, Brazil’s first publicly traded company to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury asset, has filed to raise $26.45 million to expand its Bitcoin holdings, signaling strong confidence in digital assets. Announced today, the filing has drawn attention from investors and crypto enthusiasts alike. Méliuz’s strategy follows a growing trend of corporations embracing Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Méliuz Offers Common Shares to Fund BTC Purchase
Méliuz is preparing to raise $26.45 million through a primary offering of 17,006,803 common shares, with pricing expected to occur on June 12. The proceeds from this offering will be utilized exclusively for the acquisition of Bitcoin, which will enhance the company’s treasury strategy centered on digital assets. This initiative aims to maximize shareholder value by continually increasing exposure to Bitcoin over time.
In addition, the company is considering other financing options, such as convertible bonds, to potentially surpass the $26.45 million target. The leadership at Méliuz views Bitcoin as a strategic hedge against inflation and a means to achieve superior returns.
Corporate BTC Acquisition Surges
This is Méliuz’s second major Bitcoin investment, following a $28.4 million purchase of 274.52 BTC in May 2025, which sparked a 116% surge in the stock. The company now holds 320.3 BTC, valued at over $33 million, including an initial 45.73 BTC bought in March.
Other firms have likewise raised huge funds to get a fair share of the apex coin. For example, GameStop, America’s prominent video game retailer, recently made headlines with its bold entry into the crypto market. The company disclosed its latest financial maneuver, revealing the purchase of 4,710 BTC via a brief statement on X.
Trump Media also secured $2.5 billion for Bitcoin investments on May 27, 2025. These moves reflect a global surge in corporate Bitcoin adoption.
Méliuz’s latest fundraising follows a dwindling market trend, with Bitcoin trading at $104,768 per coin, per CoinMarketCap data. Méliuz’s strategy positions it as a leader in Brazil’s fintech landscape. Investors are watching closely as more companies diversify into digital assets. This trend may reshape corporate treasury strategies worldwide
