Business Mode
Multi-Currency Payment Platform Development: The company is building a modular multi-currency payment platform, including SecPay for businesses (supporting instant settlement in Bitcoin) and Smart Wallet for individuals (integrating fiat currency, cryptocurrency, and digital asset storage). The platform plans to profit through transaction fees and exchange rate differences, and is seeking to obtain a payment license from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority of Germany (BaFin). Bitcoin Asset Reserve: Since July 2023, the company has increased its Bitcoin holdings through the secondary market, holding 242.2 Bitcoins as of July 29, 2023, with an average cost of approximately $8,853 per coin, and a position value of about $2.388 million. The company views Bitcoin as an anti-inflation asset, and its reserve strategy is similar to that of institutions like Micro Strategy, but on a smaller scale. Technical Integration and Cooperation: Exploring the application of blockchain technology in areas such as cross-border payments and supply chain finance, and collaborating with companies like Black Label Immobilien to develop real estate transaction solutions using Bitcoin payments.
Profit Model
Cryptocurrency appreciation gains: The price fluctuations of Bitcoin directly affect the company's asset value. Taking the holdings from July 2023 as an example, if the price of Bitcoin rises from $30,572 to approximately $112,000 by July 2025, the reserve value will increase by over 266%. Payment platform transaction revenue: In the future, it is planned to achieve continuous cash flow through transaction fees from SecPay and Smart Wallet (expected to be 0.5% - 1.5%) and exchange rate differences (approximately 0.3% - 0.8%). According to the official website, the platform aims to cover 5% of small and medium-sized merchants in Europe after launch. Strategic investment returns: By acquiring fintech companies like Savedroid, integrating their user resources and technology, and enhancing the ecological value of the platform.
Profit Model Impact
The bridge between traditional finance and cryptocurrency: As Germany's first publicly listed company focused on cryptocurrency payments, its platform provides small and medium-sized enterprises with compliant access to Bitcoin, reducing the technical barriers and exchange rate risks for merchants accepting cryptocurrency. Sample asset allocation for inflation hedging: The company's Bitcoin reserve strategy provides a reference for European enterprises. Against the backdrop of the Eurozone's inflation rate being persistently higher than the European Central Bank's target, Bitcoin reserves can hedge against the risk of fiat currency depreciation. In 2023, the value of its holdings has already covered 18% of the operating costs during the same period. Regulatory Compliance Exploration: The process of the company applying for a payment license may provide practical cases for the EU cryptocurrency regulatory framework, promoting industry standardization.
Impact on Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin ( BTC ): The company's purchasing behavior directly increases market demand. Although the holding size is relatively small (242.2 coins), its public holding data as a listed company may influence market sentiment. For example, after the announcement of increased holdings in July 2023, the price of Bitcoin rose 1.2% on the same day. Indirectly affecting other cryptocurrencies: If the platform supports mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH) in the future, it may indirectly influence their prices by increasing liquidity demand. Relevant plans have not yet been disclosed.
