Vaultz Capital Boosts Bitcoin Holdings and Enters Mining Sector

• Vaultz Capital bought 20 more Bitcoin and now holds 70 BTC worth £5.79 million.

• The company has entered Bitcoin mining with 20 PH/s of cloud-based hashrate.

• Over 3.5 million BTC is now held by institutions, including public firms, ETFs, and governments.

Vaultz Capital, a UK-listed digital asset firm, has increased its Bitcoin exposure with a fresh acquisition and its first entry into mining. The company, listed on the AQSE exchange, confirmed it purchased 20 additional BTC at an average price of £88,981 ($119,380) each.

This £1.78 million acquisition raises Vaultz Capital’s total Bitcoin holdings to 70 BTC, valued at approximately £5.79 million. The firm’s average purchase price across all holdings now stands at £82,653 per BTC, or around $110,766.

New Hashrate Acquisition Marks Entry Into Bitcoin Mining

In addition to growing its treasury, Vaultz Capital has secured 20 petahashes per second (PH/s) of cloud-based hashrate capacity. This capacity equates to roughly 200 virtual mining units and marks the company’s first direct exposure to Bitcoin mining.

The move supports Vaultz Capital’s long-term strategy to build a scalable, revenue-generating operation within the Bitcoin infrastructure. The cloud-based model allows participation in the Bitcoin network without the need to manage physical mining hardware.

“We’re delighted to have secured access to hashrate to support the Bitcoin network,” said CFO Alex Appleton. “At the same time, we’ve strengthened our treasury with additional Bitcoin, reinforcing our conviction in building a robust balance sheet.”

Institutional Bitcoin Holdings Continue to Climb

Vaultz Capital joins many public and private institutions holding Bitcoin as part of their balance sheets. According to data from the Bitcoin Treasuries, institutional holders now control over 3.5 million BTC, nearly 16.7% of the total circulating supply.

MicroStrategy leads among public companies with 601,550 BTC worth approximately $71.7 billion. Marathon Digital follows with around 50,000 BTC.

In the ETF space, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) manages 731,516 BTC, while Fidelity’s FBTC holds more than 206,000 BTC. Governments are also involved, with the U.S. government holding over 207,000 BTC, primarily from crypto seizure operations.

More than 135 publicly traded firms now hold Bitcoin, reflecting the growing trend of digital assets used as a strategic treasury reserve. The combination of direct Bitcoin holdings and mining involvement marks a deeper institutional push into the crypto sector.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $118,501, up 0.43% in the past 24 hours. The token has gained 15.1% over the past month and 78.6% year-to-date.
