Brazilian cryptocurrency company OranjeBTC is set to begin trading on the B3 stock exchange next week, marking a new step in the country’s growing crypto adoption. The firm aims to expand its bitcoin treasury and educate investors on the digital asset market through its proprietary learning platform.
The company is backed by high-profile investors including Mexican entrepreneur Ricardo Salinas (Banco Azteca), Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, crypto brokerage FalconX, and bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. OranjeBTC currently holds a treasury of 3,650 bitcoins, valued at over $420 million at current prices.
Instead of a traditional IPO, OranjeBTC will go public via a reverse initial public offering, listing through its recently acquired education-focused subsidiary, Intergraus, which already trades on B3.
Founder and CEO Guilherme Gomes highlighted the transformative potential of bitcoin:
“Bitcoin will change financial systems as we know it, and will reshape markets. Our main focus is bitcoin at the highest level.”
