Capital B raised $30 million and added 11% more Bitcoin in H1 2026, yet posted a $75 million impairment loss, driving a $78 million total loss.
Capital B, Europe's second‑largest Bitcoin treasury, posted a $78 million loss in the first half of 2026, largely due to a $75 million impairment charge on its Bitcoin holdings.
The treasury also raised $30 million in new capital and increased its Bitcoin holdings by 11 % during the same period, indicating a continued investment in the cryptocurrency.
The impairment reflects a valuation adjustment amid market conditions, but the capital raise and asset expansion suggest the treasury remains bullish on Bitcoin's long‑term prospects.
