Yesterday's authorization clears the path for H100. We can now move forward with the deal that takes us from around 1,051 to around 3,500 BTC.
The first question people ask is whether issuing shares to do that dilutes existing owners. It does not.
Every new share is issued in proportion to the Bitcoin each company brings, at the same Bitcoin per share on a fully diluted basis as our current balance sheet.
What makes it better than neutral is the debt.
We carry our convertible debt straight through the deal, and it does not grow with it. So as the Bitcoin base more than triples, the fixed debt becomes a much smaller slice of it, and Bitcoin per common share increases for all H100 shareholders.
But the math alone is not the reason this matters.
What we actually built is the ability to do it again. It is a replicable model to reach scale and consolidate the industry. A team that has now run an M&A transaction end to end. We proved we can grow the balance sheet in a tough market and add real capability to the team. And this is a model we can repeat.
The market is full of opportunities.
Consolidation is coming to this space, and the experience of running these deals will be one of the most valuable things to own as it does.
On top of that, we bring in a team with experience trading Bitcoin derivatives. That gives us a way to earn income from market neutral strategies without giving up our upside. We stay long Bitcoin and hold the collateral to act on arbitrage and similar opportunities when the market offers them.
H100 is in a strong position to attack multiple opportunities in the current market environment, and we thank all our shareholders for the support.
H100DL!
Today, @H100Group shareholders approved the authorization required to complete the acquisition of Moonshot AS and Never Say Die AS.
The transaction will take H100 from 1,051 BTC to approximately 3,500 BTC.
A major step for the company.

H100 has signed an LOI for a strategic acquisition expected to increase its bitcoin holdings to 3,500 BTC.
The transaction would position H100 as one of Europe’s largest publicly listed bitcoin treasury companies.
Bitcoin-backed credit serves two different capital bases with complementary needs.
On one side, you have large public and private Bitcoin balance sheets seeking productive use of Bitcoin as collateral. On the other side, you have trillions of dollars in traditional fiat capital seeking attractive yield and exposure to Bitcoin-linked yield, with control that aligns with existing risk profiles and mandates.
By structuring dual-collateralization, Bitcoin will serve as the primary liquid collateral. The cash-flow asset is the component that serves the debt.

Something caught my eye in the latest 13F filings.
The biggest new entrant into IBIT, from a brand new entity, is something called Laurore Ltd. No website. No press. No footprint. The only public information is that the filer's name is Zhang Hui and it's HK based.
Let's double click on that for a second.
Zhang Hui is the Chinese equivalent of John Smith. It's what I like to call it a "non-anonymous anonymous" name, something hiding in plain sight buried under the statistical weight of millions to make it untraceable. The "Ltd" suffix suggests a Cayman or BVI structure, the classic offshore wrapper for accessing US markets. And the portfolio? A single holding. Nothing but IBIT. This isn't a diversified fund. It's a $436 million Bitcoin access vehicle dressed in institutional clothing.
Why would you do this?
Because Chinese investors can't hold Bitcoin.
If this is what it looks like, it might be an early sign of institutional Chinese capital moving into Bitcoin, not through crypto exchanges or gray market channels, but through a BlackRock ETF, filed with the SEC in a regulated jurisdiction hiding in the most "transparent non-transparent" place imaginable.
Funny that the name Laurore likely derives from the French l'aurore: the dawn.
Smells like capital flight to me.
Over $1T of Bitcoin sits outside traditional banking and long-term financing. Today, most holders are limited to short-term, margin call-driven loans.
The opportunity is clear: use Bitcoin as institutional-grade collateral for long-duration private credit.
Bitcoin secures the structure.
Cash-flowing real-world assets service the debt.
Lenders earn 8–12% with strong downside protection through overcollateralization.
This turns Bitcoin from a passive store of value into productive financial infrastructure.

Looking forward to being in London for Digital Assets Forum on 5–6 February.
Bitcoin treasury strategies and disciplined Bitcoin equity structures are reshaping capital markets and this forum brings together the allocators and operators driving that shift.
See you there!
Gold and silver have delivered strong returns this year.
Institutional investors and central banks are increasing gold holdings, debt levels continue to rise, and capital is gradually moving away from risk and high-growth assets toward more traditional inflation hedges and monetary assets.
In this weeks episode of H100DL, we discuss why we believe Bitcoin is lagging in this cycle, and what asset performance can teach us about how capital and investors are positioning in today’s market environment.
Listen to the episode to better understand where capital is moving and why. ⚡️

This week I spoke with a commodity industrialist.
One thing he said stayed with me:
“Volatility isn’t risk. Misalignment is.”
He explained it simply.
Traders fear volatility because they’re anchored to price.
Industrialists welcome volatility because they’re anchored to structure.
In commodity markets, cycles aren’t problems to solve —
they’re the raw material you build on.
Once your narrative matches your strategy:
- Short-term price becomes noise
- Cycles become positioning windows
- Downturns become accumulation phases
He wasn’t talking about Bitcoin.
But the lesson applies perfectly.
If volatility shakes you, you’re probably playing a trading game in an industrial world.
He finished with this:
“We are not building for quarters.
We are building balance sheets, infrastructure, and ownership that compound through cycles.”
Different game.
Different mindset.
Volatility combined with long-term capital is not a risk, but an opportunity. Outcomes are defined not by short-term price movements, but by positioning, capital structure, and time horizon.
#Bitcoin is too risky.
This sentence is repeated so often that it has ended up replacing analysis.
In this note: https://www.https://t.co/KyPl8502nk,
I revisit this claim strictly from the perspective of investment discipline.
Yes, Bitcoin is extraordinarily volatile — probably the most volatile large-scale asset ever accessible to investors. This is beyond dispute. But volatility is not a verdict; it is a parameter.
In asset management, risk should never be a reason to exclude an asset. It is a reason to #Size the exposure. An asset is never “too risky” in itself; it is simply held in a size that is inconsistent with its volatility.
Investment follows a simple sequence:
first, decide whether an asset makes sense (the Investment Thesis),
then decide how much to hold (Risk Management).
Reversing this sequence — excluding an asset before even examining the thesis, solely on the grounds of risk — is not prudence. It is a reasoning error.
Even highly volatile assets can, at very small allocations, reduce overall portfolio risk through diversification. Danger is a matter of dosage, not of nature.
Excluding Bitcoin “because it is risky” reflects a misunderstanding of the elementary principles of portfolio construction — and the expression “speculative asset”, often used in this debate, corresponds to no concept in academic finance.
2026 will mark the rise of the Bitcoin industrialist.
The first era of Bitcoin was about belief.
The second was about trading.
The next will be about industrialization.
By 2026, Bitcoin will no longer be defined by who predicts price best, but by who controls balance sheets, capital, and time.
This shift mirrors what happened in shipping.
Freight volatility attracted traders.
But the real wealth was built by industrialists who:
- Bought assets in downturns
- Raised capital in upcycles
- Designed structures that survived every cycle
Bitcoin is entering the same phase — faster.
The opportunity in 2026 won’t be trading Bitcoin.
It will be building on top of it.
What changes:
- Bitcoin becomes pristine collateral
- Credit markets deepen
- Balance-sheet strategies outperform price speculation
- Volatility gets monetized structurally, not emotionally
- Weak hands finance strong ones
For those who adopt an industrialist mindset, new opportunities open:
- Compounding BTC per share, not chasing fiat returns
- Acquiring distressed assets and companies using Bitcoin-backed capital
- Designing public vehicles that survive bear markets
- Using cycles as allocation engines, not threats
- Becoming permanent capital, not temporary liquidity
Traders will still exist. They’re necessary.
But they won’t set the direction.
2026 belongs to those who think like owners, not speculators.
Who treat Bitcoin as infrastructure, not a trade.
Bitcoin isn’t just maturing.
It’s industrializing.
And that’s where the real opportunity begins.
For an asset to become a core commodity in the global financial system, it must be integrated across a wide range of participants and adopted for different purposes: store of value, payment, treasury reserve, collateral, settlement, and credit.
Bitcoin is slowly finding its place in the global financial system.
This week alone, Vanguard has started offering Bitcoin ETF access to its 50M+ clients, and Bank of America will, from January, allow advisors to recommend 1–4% digital asset allocations to their clients.
This is how a new global commodity is formed:
- One mandate at a time.
- One use case at a time.
- One investor at a time.
“When fear is high, Bitcoin has historically offered great buying opportunities.” — @Sanderandersenn to E24, commenting on the recent volatility.
Despite the market’s “extreme fear”, we see strong fundamentals and opportunity.
Sander highlights growing institutional participation, a healthy market structure, and the long-term perspective that guides H100’s strategy.
H100 remains focused on long-term strategy, not short-term noise.

Bitcoin is emerging as a core commodity in the global financial system.
It is a fixed-supply, non-sovereign, energy-secured asset with global settlement finality, independent of politics and monetary manipulation.
No other asset can offer this combination.
For any asset to become a core commodity in the global financial system, it must serve multiple independent use cases. Oil and shipping didn’t dominate because of a single function; they became critical because they integrated across energy, industry, transportation, and global trade.
Bitcoin is now following the same pattern.
Public companies adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset are creating a new listed market segment and new corporate finance models. Bitcoin ETFs offer traditional investors regulated access at scale. Governments are beginning to explore Bitcoin as an alternative reserve asset.
Together, these three groups now hold more than 3M BTC, compared to just ~360K BTC in 2023, an 8×+ increase in two years.
The strength of any commodity market comes from its diversity of use cases. Bitcoin is not a single strategy or a single narrative, it adapts to the objectives of each participant: treasuries, institutions, governments, long-term holders, credit markets, or corporate finance.
This is what turns an asset into a global system.
Bitcoin Treasury Companies are emerging globally and across local markets, each with its own strengths.
The phase we are in now is no longer about simply adding Bitcoin to the balance sheet and expecting a mNAV premium. The market will reward companies that:
- Have a local advantage in their home capital markets
- Grow BTC per share through disciplined capital structuring
- Has a healthy balance between assets and liabilities
- Execute consistently across cycles
- Broaden investor access to Bitcoin-backed equity and credit strategies
The leaders who prove their model in this environment will earn a premium, not because of hype, but because they enable investors to increase their BTC per share over time.
A phase that will separate the companies with a true strategy, governance, and capital discipline from those simply riding the asset.
