Norwegian Crypto Firm K33’s Bitcoin Bonanza: A Tale of Cash and Cryptos!

by

In the frosty embrace of Norway, where the fjords whisper secrets of the digital age, the crypto brokerage firm K33 has decided to plunge into the shimmering abyss of Bitcoin. With a dazzling sum of 60 million Swedish krona (a mere $6.2 million, if you will), they are poised to join the ranks of public companies that are hoarding this digital gold like squirrels before winter.

On the 28th of May, K33 announced that they had secured financing through convertible loans and a fresh issuance of shares and warrants, which they grandiosely dubbed the “Bitcoin Treasury Strategy.” Ah, the poetry of finance! Who knew that warrants, those zero-interest securities, could be so romantic? K33 could potentially acquire up to 57 Bitcoin (BTC) at the current price of just over $108,000. A veritable treasure trove awaits!

Our intrepid CEO, Bull Jenssen (a name that sounds like a character from a Nordic noir), took to X on that fateful day to proclaim that Bitcoin would be the “best-performing asset in the coming decade.” With a flourish, he declared that his company would “accumulate as many as possible while unlocking powerful operational synergies with our brokerage operation.” Oh, the synergies! One can only imagine the operational ballet that ensues.

“Why wait for the government to build a Bitcoin reserve when you can build your own?” he quipped, as if he were a modern-day Prometheus, ready to steal fire from the gods. Initial financing is secured, and they are ready to accelerate—like a rocket fueled by dreams and digital currency!

The convertible loans, totaling 45 million Swedish krona ($4.6 million), are interest-free and mature on June 30, 2028. The remaining 15 million Swedish krona ($1.5 million) will come through a new share issuance and warrants, according to K33. If investors convert their warrants before March 2026, they are entitled to additional free warrants at the same conversion rate. If fully exercised, K33 could raise up to 75 million Swedish krona ($7.7 million) for its Bitcoin buy. A veritable gold rush!

Bitcoin Treasury: The Crown Jewel of Expansion Plans

In K33’s interim report for the first quarter, released on that fateful May day, Jenssen revealed that K33 is collaborating with other Bitcoin treasury companies in the Nordics. They hope to use their treasury as a foundation to offer new services, such as BTC-backed lending. Because why not? After all, Bitcoin is not just a high-conviction asset; it’s a strategic enabler, a key to unlock the vaults of financial prosperity!

“With a sizable BTC reserve, we will be able to strengthen our financial position while unlocking new revenue streams, product capabilities, and partnerships,” he mused, as if he were a wizard conjuring spells of wealth. K33’s share price, however, traded flat with the news of its Bitcoin treasury pivot, closing down 1.96% on May 28, according to Google Finance. Ah, the fickle nature of the market!

Some companies have seen their stock prices soar after announcing a Bitcoin buying plan. Video game retailer GameStop shares jumped nearly 12% on March 26 after the company announced plans to purchase Bitcoin. However, they plummeted 11% on May 11 after GameStop made its first purchase of 4,710 Bitcoin. The irony is delicious!

Meanwhile, when the Paris-based crypto company Blockchain Group began its Bitcoin buying spree on November 5, its stock spiked 225% to 0.48 euros ($0.52). Ah, the sweet taste of success in the world of crypto!
