OranjeBTC buys 74 Bitcoin, increasing total to 3,896 BTC worth $231 million

OranjeBTC just added another 74 BTC to its war chest between June 22 and June 28, pushing its total holdings to 3,896 Bitcoin. At current valuations, that stash is worth roughly $231.69 million, making the Brazilian firm the largest public company Bitcoin holder in all of Latin America.

Globally, that puts OranjeBTC at roughly 31st among public companies by Bitcoin treasury size.

How OranjeBTC got here

The company was founded in 2025 by Guilherme Gomes, a former executive at Bridgewater Associates. Gomes took the company public on Brazil’s B3 exchange in October 2025 through a reverse merger, a route that lets companies skip the traditional IPO process by merging with an already-listed shell company.

At the time of listing, OranjeBTC held between 3,650 and 3,675 BTC. The firm has added roughly 220 to 246 Bitcoin in the months since going public, with this latest 74 BTC purchase representing the largest single disclosed acquisition in its recent accumulation streak.

Earlier in June 2026, the company made smaller buys of 20 BTC and 41 BTC. OranjeBTC funded this latest purchase through existing convertible bonds alongside a new bond issuance from Itaú, one of Brazil’s largest banks.

The backing and the broader strategy

OranjeBTC counts some heavy hitters among its backers, including Winklevoss Capital, Adam Back, Ricardo Salinas, and FalconX.

Beyond pure Bitcoin accumulation, OranjeBTC has also allocated capital to Strategy’s STRC preferred equity instrument since March 2026. The company also positions itself as an educational resource and asset management firm, with Bitcoin as the cornerstone of its value proposition.

What this means for investors

The convertible bond financing model is worth watching closely. By using debt instruments rather than dilutive equity raises to fund Bitcoin purchases, OranjeBTC can grow its BTC per share more efficiently. The company has also occasionally employed share buyback initiatives to further enhance per-share Bitcoin exposure.

For investors considering exposure to OranjeBTC through its B3-listed ticker OBTC3.SA, the company’s value is almost entirely a function of Bitcoin’s price. If Bitcoin rises, OranjeBTC likely outperforms because of leverage effects from its debt-funded strategy. If Bitcoin drops significantly, that same leverage works in reverse, and the debt obligations don’t shrink with the asset’s value.
