SBI Denies Selling $100M Stake in Crypto Firm B2C2 — “Cap,” Says Company
April 8, 2025 — Tokyo
SBI Holdings just hit us with a major “that’s cap” after rumors swirled about a potential $100 million stake sale in its crypto trading arm B2C2.
According to a spicy Bloomberg report, its financial wing was apparently chatting with mystery buyers, looking to offload a minority chunk of B2C2. But it came through with the receipts (or lack thereof), straight-up denying the whole thing. A company spokesperson told Bloomberg, “We’re not considering any sale.” B2C2 kept it mysterious and said no comment.
Let’s rewind: SBI first linked up with B2C2 back in July 2020, dropping $30M for a minority stake and launching a big-brain partnership to boost their crypto services. By December 2020, it leveled up and copped 100% ownership, flexing as the first major finance squad to run a full-on digital asset dealing desk.
Since then, B2C2’s been on grind mode. In August 2023, they scooped up French market-maker Woorton, locking in key EU licenses and making it easier to serve up crypto liquidity across Europe. Basically, they’re building a crypto empire for institutional players.
Its been out here making serious crypto moves, investing in blockchain tech and shaking hands with Web3 giants to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital world.
TL;DR? It isn’t ditching B2C2 anytime soon. The crypto hustle continues.
