UK-based Valereum Invests £0.5M on Expansion and Advocacy for Bitcoin as a Treasury Reserve Asset
In the rapidly evolving digital finance landscape, Valereum, a leading player in the tokenized asset space, has announced a strategic £0.5M fundraise aimed at scaling its platform, VLRM Markets, and expanding operations across multiple jurisdictions. This dual strategy includes the establishment of a Bitcoin treasury reserve, aligning Valereum's balance sheet with its future BTC-driven revenue model and enhancing agility in capital deployment globally.
The fundraise will be executed in two phases. The first phase, a £400K firm subscription, has already been fully funded by Valereum's Chairman, James Bannon, and CEO, Gary Cottle. The second phase, scheduled for next week, is a £100K retail offer, the details of which for the retail sector are yet to be finalized.
The proceeds from the fundraise will be used to expand VLRM Markets, onboard more tokenized issuers, develop technology for compliant digital asset infrastructure, and explore regulatory approvals in new markets. Valereum's Bitcoin treasury means the company will hold BTC as strategic reserves, enabling swift investment in tokenized asset projects and ecosystem partnerships.
Valereum's Bitcoin-centric expansion plan represents a significant step forward in the tokenized asset space. The company is working closely with partners like Fideum, BluBird, and DigiShares to accelerate platform rollout and integrate into its Digital Financial Market Infrastructure.
Management sees the second half of 2025 as a critical execution phase for tokenized asset infrastructure and Bitcoin strategy. Future operations of Valereum may reshape due to its tie to Bitcoin revenue streams. The company expects its Bitcoin reserve to provide it with the liquidity to co-invest in projects across real estate, AI-linked assets, and other yield-generating markets.
Valereum's shift towards treating Bitcoin as a strategic asset positions it similarly to institutions. This strategic move strengthens Valereum's ability to execute quickly in an increasingly tokenised world. As the company moves forward, it is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of digital finance.
