This is where the £250k further loaned to satoshipay came from.

1. January/February 2025: £150k Raise

Fundraise Amount: £150,000 was raised in a subscription following a capital reorganisation in January 2025.

Purpose: The RNS announcements explicitly stated this money was for general working capital and to enable BLU to participate in a follow-on funding round for Satoshi Pay.

Initial Investment from this Fund: BLU then invested EUR75,000 into a separate EUR400,000 SatoshiPay SAFE fundraise in February 2025. This was the first of the year's investments.

2. June 2025: £250k Raise (Bridge Funding)

Fundraise Amount: £250,000 was raised in June 2025.

Purpose: This was explicitly raised for additional working capital and to provide sufficient funds to support the next funding round anticipated by SatoshiPay in Q3 2025 (which would have been the next round after the EUR75k one).

3. July 2025: £1.25 Million Placing (The Crypto Treasury Loan)

Fundraise Amount: £1.25 million gross (£1.15 million placing + £100k broker option).

@DaveTK

agree, would you sell down here after that kind of news of advanced discussions with crypto gateway plus other discussions with multiple payment patners and finally there is in the RNS that Series A in early 2026. not sure what else Blue Star can add from a positive perspective, other than Elon has returned from Mars and his first priority is to acquire Satoshipay ;)

anyway, i thought the RNS was excellent , cleared up a lot for me,

one small thought, if the recent placing which raised £1.2m , of which £1.1m went to the crypto treasury, where has the £250,000 Blue Star has further loaned to Satoshipay come from?

Lets hope we get news on the advanced discussions with the crypto aggregator gateway and other payment partners SOON !!

Is it closer than Vortex think?

its "allegedly" been coming soon for 10 months now to Vortex, which is not soon enough.

Other companies putting out that kind of news, the share price would have doubled... BLU's nefarious past still haunts it , to a degree. We need Elon to take an interest... might be in the £'s then.

Could this news be the Blue pill for BLU.. ?

At last, substantive news for Vortex !!!

In parallel, Vortex is in advanced discussions regarding integrating with a leading global crypto-fiat gateway aggregator, connecting to over 50 wallets and exchanges, including MetaMask, Phantom and Paybis, which may open access to a broad, high-margin customer base and further expand Vortex's commercial reach. Further announcements will be made in due course.

And still Blue Star plumbs the depths.

Well aware, but not in 3 weeks though... ;)

Dont get me wrong .. its good, its something, just a little ,more detail and enthusiasm about the product and setup.... could be great...

guess the great doesn't happen until we get partner news. or Series A.

What happened to the 50% and 87% APR Treasury yields that Satoshipay were shouting about on X a few weeks ago, would have been good to get just a little more information ( as usual)

Agreed slowroll

its rather tedious, as it ever was, being a shareholder in this company.. great news is always followed by a difficulty or two...

lets see if they come out with some Vortex numbers next month, we all very much hope so.

The brazil reactivation adn circle aliance developments move SatoshiPay/Vortex beyond the conceptual stage and into an execution and scaling phase. They combine a strong strategic alliance (Circle) with operational delivery (Vortex Brazil relaunch), positioning the company to:

Capture significant market share in the European and Latin American stablecoin-to-fiat conversion space.

Drive strong growth for the rest of 2025, as anticipated by Blue Star Capital's executive team

we've missed 2 months for series A inclusion, but i feel sure by H1 2026, it will be fa mere blip.

Growth must now ensue, rapidly..

No mention of Circle.

everything is bare minimum , no enthusiasm for the product. we have a 50% stake in this after all.

So Vortex was down2 months and a £ million lost in revenue, plus no RNS this afternoon to advise Brazil back running.. expect it to be tomorrow,

Its very strange price action , considering the positive news..

haver to await |Vortex brazil being restored.

Or maybe not...

wonder who the seller is?

Should get a boost by indications that Vortex Brazil is back this week.

anyone got a feel for how long it might be before first payment partner announced?

@lagM

great post and is one of the reasons i have remained invested, through thin and thin (sic)

its a great product, with endless possibilities now baked into the product... they just need to keep it functioning and gain one or two large partners...then Vortex will take care of itself , one suspects by this time Satoshipay has reversed into blue star with its own listing and it builds from there....

lets see how it plays out.

Yes indeed Dave, such are the nefarious activities of financial markets..
