​The Blockchain Group, a French company specializing in data intelligence, AI, and decentralized technology, has significantly expanded its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings.

The company’s latest Bitcoin acquisition is its largest since it started accumulating Bitcoin. The Blockchain Group launched its Bitcoin Treasury strategy on November 5 last year. It became the first European company to adopt such a strategy. The company initially bought 15 BTC on November 5, the day Donald Trump won the U.S. election. Soon after, Bitcoin began a month-long rally, reaching $100,000 for the first time in December.

The second purchase was 25 Bitcoin on December 4, when Bitcoin was trading at $96,000. The price surged past six figures the next day amid the post-election rally. Yesterday, it added 580 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 620 BTC. The latest purchase was funded through a convertible bond issue announced on March 6.
