The Swedish treasury firm tripled its stack to 3,506 BTC in what it calls the first all-share, bitcoin-for-bitcoin public acquisition.
On August 10, a Swedish company that used to sell health technology bought a Norwegian one and paid for it without spending a krona — or a satoshi. H100 Group completed its acquisition of NSD AS, folding in 2,455.37 BTC and lifting its own treasury to 3,506.4 BTC. The consideration was entirely stock: H100 issued 790.5 million new shares to NSD's owners.
The company bills the deal as the largest merger in the European public bitcoin-equity sector and the world's first “bitcoin-for-bitcoin” public acquisition — a treasury company absorbing another treasury company, with bitcoin on both sides of the ledger. It vaults H100 to Europe's second-largest corporate bitcoin holder, trailing only Germany's Bitcoin Group SE at roughly 3,605 BTC.
The structure is the story. An all-share deal means no cash leaves the building and no bitcoin is sold to fund the purchase; the acquirer prints equity instead. For a treasury company, that is the entire appeal. The pitch to shareholders is bitcoin-per-share: if a company trades above the value of the coins it holds, it can issue stock, buy or absorb more bitcoin, and raise the coin count backing each share. Michael Saylor's Strategy wrote the playbook; H100 is running it through mergers rather than open-market buys.
That machine only works while the market pays a premium to net asset value. Issuing 790 million shares dilutes existing owners; the deal is accretive only if the stock keeps trading above the bitcoin behind it. Europe's treasury-company cohort is young and thinly capitalized next to the U.S. giants, and premiums to NAV compress when sentiment turns. A holding company whose principal asset is a volatile commodity, financed by its own elevated share price, inherits both the upside and the reflexivity.
For now the tailwind is obvious: bitcoin is having its best week since 2023, and rising prices flatter every treasury balance sheet in Europe. The test comes when they don't.
Why it matters: bitcoin treasuries are starting to grow by eating each other — a faster path to size, and a new layer of stock-market leverage stacked on the coin.
