The Blockchain Group In Talks of Listing on the U.S. OTCID Market

European Bitcoin firm The Blockchain Group has announced its advancement to the final stages of listing on the OTCID market in the United States.

The listing involves market makers purchasing existing shares from the European stock exchange, Euronext, and making them available in the US through a dedicated USD ticker. However, the listing will not include the issuance of new shares or the raising of capital. Settlement and delivery will follow standard US market practices, allowing trading in the country.

The Blockchain Group Secures OTCID Markets Listing

The Blockchain Group has applied to OTCID, which lists over 1,200 securities, due to its alignment with Euronext Growth financial standards. The stock exchange hosts major European companies, such as Air France KLM and Nestlé, making it a suitable fit.

The OTC Markets Group recently launched the OTCID market. This market opens the doors for international companies to gain exposure to the US over-the-counter (OTC) market without the rigors involved in a public listing. Companies listed on OTCID must meet strict disclosure standards, including annual financial certifications and up-to-date profile information, providing US investors, brokers, regulators, and data providers with reliable and timely data.

The OTCID listing process, which is expected to take 2-4 weeks, adheres to a strict framework that combines regulatory requirements with OTCID’s internal standards for transparency. It also involves accurate financial reporting and governance, ensuring high standards of listing.

The listing on OTCID complements the company’s existing Euronext Growth Paris listing, with the Company maintaining all regulatory and disclosure obligations on its primary exchange.

Notably, The Blockchain Group’s stock, ALTBG, saw a mild price jump following the firm’s announcement of listing on the OTCID market. According to data from Google Finance, it sold for €3.90 (approximately $4.95) at the time of writing, representing a 7.38% increase within the past 24 hours.

Pioneering Bitcoin Investment in Europe

In a recent news report, The Blockchain Group raised approximately $8.2 million through an ATM (At The Market) offering program to expand its Bitcoin portfolio. This acquisition cements its status as Europe’s leading Bitcoin treasury company. This move further highlights the company’s strategic focus on crypto assets and potential for long-term growth through increased Bitcoin holdings.

The Blockchain Group’s Bitcoin journey started in November 2024, and they have been aggressively accumulating the cryptocurrency since then.
