Catenaa, Saturday, July 05, 2025-A growing number of London-listed companies are embracing Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset, echoing the playbook of Michael Saylor’s Strategy.
At least nine firms have declared Bitcoin holdings or acquisition plans in the past week, propelling their stock values and stirring investor interest.
AI services firm Tao Alpha disclosed plans to raise £100 million to back its Bitcoin strategy.
Meanwhile, Smarter Web Company’s valuation jumped from £4 million to over £1 billion in two months after announcing Bitcoin purchases, though its shares have since cooled.
Panther Metals confirmed its own buy this week and aims to amass £4 million in Bitcoin.
Bluebird Mining Ventures has seen its shares surge nearly 400% after adopting a “digital gold” approach.
It raised £2 million for Bitcoin acquisitions and is now seeking an additional £10 million.
Founder Aidan Bishop credited the move with reviving the company, which recorded a nearly $900,000 loss last year.
Vinanz, a Bitcoin mining firm, increased its holdings to $3.85 million and plans a rebrand as the London BTC Company, offering what it calls “regulated access to Bitcoin” for UK investors.
This treasury trend comes as the UK aims to position itself as a global crypto hub. The Financial Conduct Authority is reportedly easing its stance on crypto-linked retail products.
Simultaneously, HMRC is tightening tax rules, requiring detailed reporting on every crypto transaction from January 2026.
