aifinyo AG (ISIN DE000A3EX2X7, Ticker: EBEN) announces that it is the first publicly listed German company to fully align its balance sheet with Bitcoin. The Berlin-based FinTech is pursuing a so-called “pure-play” strategy and plans to accumulate approximately 10,000 BTC by 2027, according to a press release provided to BTC-ECHO.
At launch, aifinyo acquired Bitcoin worth three million euros and partnered with strategic investor UTXO Management, which invests internationally in Bitcoin treasury companies through its hedge fund 210k Capital.
UTXO Management holds investments in Strategy, Metaplanet, and Moon Inc., among others, and announced a $1 billion investment in Bitcoin treasury companies in May 2025. With its commitment to aifinyo, the company is making its first investment in Germany. “It was high time that Germany had a Bitcoin treasury approach of this level,” explains UTXO co-founder Tyler Evans.
aifinyo aims to continuously acquire BTC through operating profits from its existing business with approximately 8,000 B2B customers. The fintech is the parent company of the BaFin-supervised subsidiaries aifinyo finance GmbH and aifinyo payments GmbH. Bitcoin is held using regulated cold storage solutions in Germany.
CEO Stefan Kempf speaks of a consistent implementation of the strategy: “We are building the first German corporate Bitcoin machine.” Board member Garry Krugljakow, responsible for strategy, adds: “In five years at the latest, every DAX company will have to consider whether it needs Bitcoin on its balance sheet – as a hedge against inflation and a strategic reserve.”
With aifinyo's entry into the Bitcoin treasury strategy, the company is positioning itself as a pioneer in the German capital market. Globally, there are currently only around 20 to 40 comparable companies with a similar focus on the cryptocurrency as their primary balance sheet asset.
The largest of these, Strategy, currently holds 640,418 BTC with a total value of more than $70 billion. Yesterday, Monday, 168 BTC were added for $18.8 million.
