In 2013, a Swedish exchange student studying Chinese in Shanghai unexpectedly came into contact with the world of Bitcoin, embarking on an extraordinary journey in Crypto Assets. This young man, named Christoffer De Geer, originally sought to solve the problem of international remittances but discovered Bitcoin while searching for alternatives.



In China, De Geer met a 12-year-old Bitcoin miner, and this encounter opened the door to his in-depth study of blockchain technology. He gradually mastered core knowledge such as wallet usage, key management, the UTXO model, and blockchain explorers, while also learning about the legendary story of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Ten years have passed, and the former international student has now become the CEO of Bitcoin Treasury Capital (BTCC). Under his leadership, BTCC has accumulated reserves of 156 Bitcoins and successfully attracted the attention of investors. The company recently reached an equity financing agreement of up to 200 million Swedish Krona, laying a solid foundation for future development.

It is worth noting that BTCC has been authorized to be listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, with the stock code X4L. This important milestone not only marks the growth of the company but also reflects the recognition of traditional financial markets for the digital asset sector.

De Geer shared his entrepreneurial journey on social media, reflecting on the ups and downs from his initial acquaintance with Bitcoin to the company's listing. He stated that BTCC will continue to adhere to its Bitcoin financial strategy and delve deeply into the field of Crypto Assets.

This story showcases how Bitcoin and blockchain technology have changed individual destinies and reflects the tremendous changes in the entire industry over the past decade. Starting from an accidental opportunity to now becoming the helm of a publicly listed company, De Geer's experience will undoubtedly inspire more people to pay attention to and engage in this dynamic emerging field.
