European companies adopting Bitcoin as a corporate reserve asset will not replicate the model developed by Michael Saylor at Strategy, according to industry executives who participated in Paris Blockchain Week 2026. The structural differences between European and American capital markets make a direct copy of that strategy unviable.

Thomas Vogel, partner at Latham & Watkins in Paris and Frankfurt, noted that the conditions for issuing financial instruments in Europe differ significantly from those in the United States. “If you issue convertibles in the U.S., the restrictions are not the same as when you do it from a French or European balance sheet,” he stated, referring to the differences in market depth, regulation and investor behavior.

Alexandre Laizet, head of Bitcoin strategy at Capital B, a French treasury firm, indicated that European companies are targeting local structures, such as French public markets and Luxembourg-domiciled vehicles, to raise capital with exposure to the asset.

The numbers are essential to understanding the scale gap between both markets. Germany’s Bitcoin Group SE holds approximately 3,605 BTC, Capital B holds 2,925 BTC with an unrealized loss of approximately 25.6%, and Strategy acquired 13,927 Bitcoin in a single week for around $1 billion, bringing its total holdings to 780,897 BTC.
