The company wants to make Bitcoin the main asset in its treasury. A filing written in Spanish said Vanadi Coffee hopes this change will help reshape its business strategy.

Vanadi Coffee purchased 20 more Bitcoin in June, and by the end of the month, it held a total of 54 Bitcoins. These assets are being kept with Bit2Me, a local crypto platform registered with Spain’s central bank.

Additionally, Vanadi Coffee’s board can issue convertible debt and new shares, a strategy similar to one used by Strategy’s Michael Saylor.

The new plan gives the board the ability to increase the company’s capital by up to 50%. It also allows them to skip offering part of the new shares to existing shareholders, which means current investors could see their ownership reduced.

Additionally, up to 5% of any funds raised can be allocated to fees for intermediaries, including board members.

Meanwhile, The Smarter Web Company secured $56.6 million in new funding after purchasing a large amount of Bitcoin. What is the funding for? Read the full story.

Spanish coffee chain Vanadi Coffee is planning a bold shift as it seeks to transform from a struggling hospitality brand into a Bitcoin-centric holding firm.

According to a report by Europa Press, the company is proposing a €1 billion (around $1.13 billion) allocation into Bitcoin as part of a broader financial overhaul.

The announcement has swiftly impacted market sentiment surrounding its shares. According to Google Finance data, Vanadi’s stock surged by 19.93% in the past 24 hours and is now trading at approximately €0.33 per share.

Why Vanadi is pivoting towards Bitcoin

This change in direction comes on the heels of mounting financial challenges for the company. In 2024, Vanadi posted losses of €3.3 million, translating to a 16% increase from the prior year.

Moreover, the firm doesn’t anticipate profitability until 2027, when it hopes to generate a modest gross operating profit of roughly €23,000.

In addition, Vanadi’s stock performance has also been dismal. Since its market debut, shares have plummeted more than 99%, making it an attractive option for short sellers.

Considering this, Vanadi’s leadership hopes that an aggressive pivot from its core hospitality operations to becoming a Bitcoin treasury-focused company will drastically improve its fortunes.

This proposed shift is being led by Vanadi’s board chairman, Salvador Martí, who is championing a bold financial restructuring centered around Bitcoin.

Martí has requested shareholders’ authorization to pursue up to €1 billion in Bitcoin investments and negotiate convertible financing deals to support the initiative.

If successful, Vanadi would join a growing list of small-cap firms embracing Bitcoin as a treasury asset. The move follows the playbook popularized by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which holds over 580,000 BTC and has seen around $20 billion in unrealized gains.

However, critics view these shifts with skepticism.

Jacob King, CEO of WhaleWire, called Vanadi’s pivot a publicity stunt, noting the company has few locations, only 48 followers on X, and no actual Bitcoin holdings to date.

According to him:

“This isn’t belief in Bitcoin—it’s a last-ditch attempt to generate hype. Companies don’t buy BTC out of conviction; they do it hoping the herd will follow and boost their brand or stock.”
