Vanadi Coffee\u2019s board has taken a bold step. On June 29, shareholders backed a plan to put up to \u20ac1\u202fbillion (about $1.17\u202fbillion) into Bitcoin<\/a>. This move marks a sharp turn from its old ways. It also puts the tiny Spanish chain in the spotlight for big crypto bets.<\/p>\n

A Bold Treasury Shift<\/h2>\n

According to a filing with BME Growth, Vanadi<\/a> will make Bitcoin its main reserve asset. The company plans to stack up large amounts of BTC alongside its espresso machines.<\/p>\n

Shareholders approved the plan with clear votes. Now Vanadi aims to match companies like Strategy, which holds over 200,000\u202fBTC, and Metaplanet in Japan.<\/p>\n

SPANISH COFFEE CHAIN PLANS TO BECOME SPAIN\u2019S BIGGEST BITCOIN TREASURY WITH $1B+<\/p>\n

\u2013 Vanadi Coffee, a small Spanish caf\u00e9 chain, approved a plan to invest nearly $1.17 billion in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Early Bitcoin Purchases And Stock Surge<\/h2>\n

Based on reports<\/a>, Vanadi has already bought 54\u202fBTC, worth around \u20ac5.8\u202fmillion at current rates. Its stock price shot up more than threefold in June after the news broke.<\/p>\n

Investors seem hungry for businesses that use crypto in their cash piles. That rally shows how much appetite there is for digital assets right now.<\/p>\n

Struggles In Core Coffee Business<\/p>\n

Vanadi runs six coffee shops in and around Alicante. The chain<\/a> reported a 2024 operating loss of \u20ac3.3\u202fmillion, up 15.8% from the year before. Rising coffee costs and fierce competition have squeezed its margins.<\/p>\n

Management even turned down a \u20ac50\u202fmillion offer from a local consultant before talking to Alpha Blue Ocean, which had teased a \u20ac1.5\u202fbillion fund for 15 companies.<\/p>\n


\nQuestions Over Expertise And Risk<\/p>\n

Analysts warn that Treasury-grade crypto moves demand deep know\u2011how. Vanadi\u2019s leadership has little history in crypto markets or big balance\u2011sheet plays. Spikes and crashes in Bitcoin could hit the firm hard.<\/p>\n

Regulators in Spain still treat digital assets with caution. Any slip\u2011up might lead to fines or forced asset sales.<\/p>\n

A Calculated Gamble Or Overreach?<\/p>\n

Several companies around the globe \u2013 from Bakkt in the US to Tesla \u2013 have dipped into Bitcoin. Vanadi stands out for betting its future on a caf\u00e9 chain\u2019s balance sheet. A \u20ac1\u202fbillion war chest dwarfs its store network and current losses.<\/p>\n

If Bitcoin climbs sharply, Vanadi could turn a massive profit. But if markets sour, the chain may struggle to keep its doors open.<\/p>\n

Vanadi\u2019s move shows how far corporate finance has shifted toward crypto. It also raises fresh questions about focus and expertise. While some investors are cheering, others are watching nervously. Either way, this tiny coffee chain has made a big name for itself in the Bitcoin world.<\/p>\n
