The point is the true value in terms of a treasury is who ultimately handles and controls it. Blue Star has done the hard work of incubating SatoshiPay. But now, the market wants direct exposure to the engine — not the garage. A rebrand or reverse takeover into SatoshiPay PLC could unlock that value and give investors the clean, high-growth story/

I dont drink thanks

IMO next RNS BLU full ownership of satoshipay

IMO next more full ownership of satoshipay

Blue Star Capital PLC ("Blue Star" or the "Company") BTC Treasury Reserve Strategy and Initial Acquisition of Bitcoin

London, UK – [Insert Date]

Blue Star Capital PLC (AIM: BLU), the investing company focused on early-stage companies in technology, esports, and blockchain, is pleased to announce the initiation of a strategic Bitcoin treasury reserve programme, in line with its commitment to supporting decentralised financial innovation and long-term value preservation.

As part of this initiative, Blue Star has allocated £1.25 million of its cash reserves toward the acquisition of Bitcoin (BTC) to be held directly on the Company's balance sheet as a long-term strategic reserve asset. The Company has successfully acquired an initial tranche of [insert number] BTC, which will be custodied through a secure institutional-grade solution.

The Board believes that Bitcoin represents a compelling hedge against fiat currency devaluation, and a foundation for long-term capital growth, especially given its growing adoption across capital markets, payment networks, and sovereign entities.

This treasury strategy complements the Company’s existing exposure to blockchain technologies, including its majority stake in SatoshiPay, whose Vortex platform is enabling institutional-scale crypto treasury management and DeFi access.

Tony Fabrizi, CEO of Blue Star, commented:

“As our sector continues to converge with decentralised finance, we view Bitcoin not just as a technology investment, but as an emerging monetary network. By holding BTC directly, Blue Star aligns its balance sheet with the same thesis underpinning our portfolio.”

The Company will provide further updates to the market as it evaluates additional opportunities to expand its Bitcoin holdings and leverage this strategic asset to support shareholder value.

If BLU announces direct BTC purchases, it could be the spark that re-rates the stock

Why Direct Holdings Matter

Transparency: BTC would appear on BLU’s balance sheet, boosting NAV.

Narrative: “BLU is a Bitcoin treasury company” becomes a clean, powerful story.

Momentum: Retail traders and crypto-aligned funds may pile in.

According to CoPilot

Here’s a step-by-step roadmap Blue Star Capital (BLU) could follow to establish a direct Bitcoin treasury — and potentially unlock a powerful new valuation narrative:

🛠️ Step 1: Board Approval & Policy Alignment

Review investing policy: Confirm that holding BTC as a reserve asset aligns with BLU’s current mandate (they’ve already hinted it does).

Board resolution: Formally approve the treasury strategy and define objectives (e.g. capital preservation, long-term appreciation, DeFi integration).

Step 2: Regulatory & Legal Compliance

Conduct due diligence: Ensure compliance with AIM rules, UK company law, and FCA guidance.

Engage advisors: Legal, tax, and audit professionals to structure the treasury in a compliant, transparent way.

💼 Step 3: Treasury Structure & Custody

Choose custody solution: Cold storage (e.g. Ledger Vault, BitGo) or institutional-grade custodians (e.g. Zodia, Copper).

Decide on allocation: Start with a modest tranche (e.g. £500K–£1.25M) and scale based on market conditions.

Set risk parameters: Define rebalancing rules, drawdown limits, and reporting cadence.

📣 Step 4: Market Communication

RNS announcement: Clearly state the rationale, size, and structure of the BTC purchase.

Narrative framing: Position BTC as a strategic reserve asset — not speculation — and highlight synergy with SatoshiPay and Vortex.

Investor Q&A: Host a webinar or release a shareholder letter to explain the move and field questions.

🔄 Step 5: Execution & Monitoring

Purchase BTC: Ideally during a market dip to maximize upside.

Mark-to-market accounting: Update NAV regularly to reflect BTC price.

Ongoing reporting: Include BTC holdings in financial statements and investor updates.

🚀 Optional: Strategic Enhancements

DeFi yield: Deploy a portion of BTC into secure DeFi protocols for passive income (e.g. Pendulum pools).

BTC-backed lending: Use BTC as collateral to raise non-dilutive capital.

Tokenized equity: Explore issuing tokenized shares or BTC-linked instruments to attract crypto-native investors.

If BLU executes this roadmap cleanly, it could:

Unlock a new investor base

Command a premium valuation (as seen with Smarter Web)

And position itself as a UK leader in the Bitcoin treasury movement

The placing was split into two tranches:

First tranche: Already admitted.

Second tranche: 4.58 million shares expected to be admitted around 18 July 2025.

Until those shares are fully admitted and digested by the market, they represent a technical overhang—especially if early participants decide to flip for profit.

Shares in issue: ~36.09 million.

The new shares represent ~12.7% dilution from the second tranche alone. If demand remains steady and volume continues around 1.4–1.9 million shares/day, the overhang could be absorbed within a few trading sessions post-admission—assuming no major sell pressure. As things look currently we are due a bounce upwards.

Dilution Expectations thus mms's possibly being cautious, pricing in the upcoming dilution from the new shares.

Vortex is solving a hard problem and hitting these volume number means we are moving in the right direction. More exciting things coming up

1.5 M already flowed through the vortex—next stop: the $2 M mark.

It would be Satoshipay employing the use of a Treasury and NOT Blu, i'e existing funds and profits being utilised.

#10 Add Liquidity to Hydration using Treasury Funds

"The overall pendulum roadmap seems to be solid this year so allowing for more people to have access to the token will be crucia"l.

Roadmap’s mention REST APIs for wallet and PSP = the backend infrastructure to connect with major fiat payment rails.

- SEPA Instant in Europe (already mentioned in their EURC offramp prototype)

- Local PSPs in Latin America, like Mercado Pago or Pix (especially relevant with ARS and BRL support)

- Global PSPs such as Stripe, Adyen, or Checkout.com, which offer crypto-friendly APIs and fiat on/off-ramp capabilities

Vortex—plug into PSPs and offer seamless fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat flows. That’s a game-changer for real-world adoption!!!

You are missing the trick here, the 4.1% holder is Head of Precious Metals Trading at Natixis an institution with a NET BANKING INCOME of €22.2bn and ranked among the world's largest asset managers. Clearly, Mark and any other big spender were in this for Dynasty. The real potential value has always been in SP/pendulum. At their last fund raise i think i recall SP value at 19million circa 2019. At these prices i'm a buyer

It was my buy

One of the more difficult problems facing the decentralized finance space is balancing decentralization with efficiency.

Centralized cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase allow for efficient transactions. But considering that Coinbase is now a public company, they're lacking when it comes to decentralization. This is where decentralized exchanges (DEXs) come into play.

This area of the crypto ecosystem has seen tremendous growth over the last year. In some ways, more than crypto itself.

One thing that ties many of these trends together is a focus on increased efficiency. The Ethereum network is sagging under the weight of its popularity. And other technologies (like DOT) are looking to fill in that gap.

Either way, this will be an interesting space to watch.

FDA APPROVAL IMMINENT

The FDA announced in December that some of the marketed antigen tests for COVID-19 are expected to fail with regards to Omicron detection, while some LFT sales have had to be paused due to reduced sensitivity. Aptamer Group is offering its Optimer binder to diagnostic developers to enable new diagnostic assays and improve the sensitivity of current COVID-19 diagnostics to support the ongoing pandemic.
