Cryptocurrency and cappuccino: Vanadi Coffee bets on bitcoin

The coffee giant Vanadi Coffee, whose shares are listed on the stock market, came to the conclusion that espresso is, of course, good, but bitcoin is also not bad. So good that the company decided to shell out $ 1.1 billion for more than 10,000 BTC. Shareholders must give the go-ahead on June 29, but the management is already actively preparing for the deal.

Vanadi Coffee plans to finance its ambitions through convertible debt instruments and structured transactions. Strategy, Metaplanet and The Blockchain Group have become examples of changing their business models, as their shares soared after similar steps.

So far, the company has only bought 5 BTC "for testing", but in May it received two offers to issue convertible bonds specifically for crypto investments. One of them came from Patblasc Software Consulting, the other from WGTO Securitisation Fund, associated with the Alpha Blue Ocean consortium, which owns 44% of the shares of the coffee chain.

It is curious that, despite the loud plans, Vanadi Coffee does not intend to integrate cryptocurrency into its operations. Visitors, unfortunately, will still be able to pay for coffee only in traditional ways. The company views bitcoin exclusively as a strategic asset that can bring significant profits in the long term.

Financial analysts note that such a move may be related to Vanadi Coffee's desire to diversify its assets and protect itself from inflation. In recent months, the interest of large corporations in cryptocurrencies has noticeably increased, and the Spanish coffee shop chain, apparently, decided to keep up with the trend.

It is still unknown how shareholders will react to this bold proposal from the management. But it is already clear that Vanadi Coffee is ready for serious changes in its strategy, which could significantly affect its position in the market in the coming years.
