SBI Holdings’ Strategic Investment in B2C2
SBI Holdings initiated its investment in B2C2 through a minority stake acquisition, which amounted to $30 million in July 2020. SBI initiated this move to bolster cryptocurrency services while expanding its digital asset services to meet increasing customer demand.
SBI finalized its acquisition of B2C2 as it established the premiere position for major financial institutions in digital asset dealing operations by December 2020. Following the complete acquisition, B2C2 expanded its business operations to serve growing institutional client demand worldwide.
B2C2’s European Expansion and SBI’s Digital Asset Strategy
B2C2 expanded its European market in August 2023 when it acquired French market-making company Wootton. Through this acquisition, B2C2 received European Union regulatory licenses, which completed its objective of providing institutional liquidation services throughout Europe.
SBI Holdings continues to act in the digital asset market. B2C2 has developed numerous blockchain partnerships and invested in multiple crypto-focused ventures. The company employs strategic initiatives that demonstrate SBI’s purpose of systematically merging digital assets with traditional financial systems.
Substantial investment and purposeful acquisitions enable SBI Holdings to become a dominant player in the developing digital economy. The company demonstrates its extended commitment to cryptocurrency market expansion by actively supporting its worldwide adoption.
