Hilbert Group Unveils Bitcoin Treasury Strategy Amid Surging Stock Performance

Institutional Push Drives Hilbert Group Stock to New Highs

Hilbert Group AB (NASDAQ: HILB B), majority owner of the crypto data platform COIN360, has announced a sweeping crypto treasury program that places Bitcoin at the center of its reserves. The board of directors unanimously backed the new strategy, aiming to leverage rising institutional demand for digital assets while taking advantage of a noticeable lack of European public companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets.

Shares of Hilbert Group surged 13.22% in a single day after the news broke, reflecting strong investor enthusiasm for the company’s latest strategic pivot. Over six months, Hilbert Group has posted a 165.50% rise, and year-to-date, the share price has climbed a remarkable 168.63%.

The newly formed Treasury Committee, chaired by CIO Russell Thompson, will oversee the program. Hilbert is actively reviewing a range of competitive financing proposals from institutional partners. These deals, which provide considerable flexibility in both timing and scale, are designed to maximize liquidity while allowing for strategic market entries. Each tranche of investment will be disclosed as executed.

Executives say the program isn’t just a passive Bitcoin allocation. Instead, Hilbert is building a transparent, actively managed reserve using its proprietary AI and quantitative models, with a real-time dashboard to give stakeholders visibility into holdings. 

CEO Barnali Biswal described the approach as a bridge between traditional equity investing and the digital asset economy, offering a regulated on-ramp for institutions seeking crypto exposure. CIO Russell Thompson added that the initiative is expected to generate significant alpha for both shareholders and the broader stakeholder community, underlining his optimism about Hilbert’s position as an active leader in the digital asset sector.

Hilbert Group’s move sets a new standard for European crypto treasury management, signaling a shift that could prompt more public companies to integrate digital assets into their capital strategies. Bloomberg has reported that institutional investors—including ETFs, corporate treasuries, and asset managers—have acquired approximately 900,000 BTC over the past year, reflecting the depth of institutional involvement in the market.
