Europe’s first Bitcoin treasury company, The Blockchain Group, is in the final stages of securing a listing on the United States OTCID market. The Paris-based firm believes the move will enhance visibility, liquidity, and institutional access for its Bitcoin-backed shares.
The OTCID (Over-The-Counter International Digital) Market is a flexible trading platform recently launched to help innovative, growth-focused companies gain global exposure and liquidity. It also aims to streamline cross-border investment and offer a cost-efficient alternative to traditional public listings without the strict requirements of major exchanges.
The Blockchain Group Seeks Listing on OTCID
According to an official press release, the company emphasized that its expansion into U.S. over-the-counter markets will not involve issuing new shares or raising additional capital. Instead, U.S. market makers will list existing shares while complying with OTCID’s reporting requirements, such as annual management certifications and current profiles.
Notably, the move supports The Blockchain Group’s ongoing mission to increase Bitcoin per fully diluted share, a goal demonstrated by its aggressive acquisition and funding program. Earlier this year, the company raised over $424 million, enabling it to purchase bitcoins, which brought its total holdings to 1,653 BTC, with a reported impressive yield.
The Blockchain Group believes that listing on the OTCID market aligns with its vision to bridge European and U.S. markets. It claims such an initiative will provide seamless access for international investors and reinforce its reputation as a fully transparent, regulated Bitcoin treasury company.
Once approved (within 2–4 weeks), its shares will trade in U.S. dollars under a dedicated ticker, enabling the company to leverage both Euronext’s standards and OTCID’s disclosure framework. The firm aims to utilize the cross-border strategy to enhance its position as a player in corporate Bitcoin accumulation, as it plans to reach a broader community of investors.
Crypto Firms Seek Investors via TradFi
Like The Blockchain Group, several crypto-native firms are entering traditional finance (TradFi) through regulated channels such as OTC listings, IPOs, or licensed trust banks. They aim to expand their investor reach, boost credibility, and support treasury or service strategies.
As reported by CTW, ReserveOne recently announced plans to list on the Nasdaq, which would raise over $1 billion. With backing from major players such as Blockchain.com and Kraken, the firm aims to provide traditional investors with regulated access to a professionally managed crypto portfolio.
Meanwhile, Circle made a successful debut on June 5, 2025, marking one of the most remarkable IPO performances for a crypto company. The initial public offering raised approximately $1.05 billion, resulting in a valuation of nearly $6.9 billion.
