About The Blockchain Group

The Blockchain Group (listed on Euronext Growth Paris as ALTBG) is a France-based technology and digital-services group that restructured into Europe’s first Bitcoin Treasury Company after adopting a Bitcoin standard on 5 November 2024.

Originally formed as a diversified digital- and blockchain-technology holding (origins traced across 2008–2023), the company has pivoted to a clear BTC-per-share strategy: raise capital, accumulate bitcoin, and hold it long term while using structured financing to scale treasury holdings.

Since the pivot it has accumulated hundreds of bitcoins and deployed capital-markets tools to grow its treasury — including an ATM-style €300 million program in partnership with asset manager TOBAM to systematically convert equity into BTC without disruptive lump-sum raises.

The company’s leadership team includes Chairman Jean‑François Descaves, CEO Jean‑Philippe Casadepax‑Soulet and Deputy CEO & Director of Bitcoin Strategy Alexandre Laizet, with strategic backers and advisors such as TOBAM and Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back.
