Swedish medical and investment firm H100 Group AB has entered a major financial agreement with renowned cryptographer and Blockstream CEO Adam Back, securing a SEK 21 million ($2.1 million) convertible loan.
The deal announcement represents the first installment in a broader agreement allowing Back to invest up to SEK 277 million (about $25.8 million USD) across five tranches.
The proceeds from these investments are earmarked for one purpose: expanding H100 Group’s Bitcoin reserves in line with its long-term treasury strategy.
The move marks another notable example of a traditional company allocating capital to Bitcoin as a strategic hedge and reserve asset.
Multi-Tranche Agreement Signals Strong Investor Confidence
The agreement gives Adam Back the option to expand his investment through four additional tranches, totaling SEK 128 million in potential contributions, with guaranteed participation of at least 50%.
Each subsequent tranche is twice the size of his committed contribution, highlighting Back’s deep confidence in H100 Group’s vision and growth potential.
According to the timeline outlined in the agreement, each tranche must be requested within a 90-day window following the previous one.
If a tranche is not requested within its designated timeframe, the right to request future tranches lapses.
The structure offers flexibility while incentivizing timely progression of investment and treasury development.
Convertible Loan Terms Favor Long-Term Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy
The convertible loans carry no interest and mature in five years, but can be converted into equity at fixed rates, increasing with each tranche.
The initial tranche allows conversion at SEK 1.75 per share, while the fifth tranche sets the price at SEK 5.00.
If fully converted, the initial tranche alone would generate 12 million new shares, leading to a 9.3% dilution of existing equity.
H100 Group has also retained a provision to force conversion if its stock price rises 33% above the agreed rate over a 20-day period, offering flexibility to optimize capitalization based on market performance.
These terms align with H100’s clear commitment to integrating Bitcoin as a key financial pillar without taking on excessive risk or debt burden.

Adam Back Reinforces Bitcoin’s Role as a Strategic Reserve Asset
Speaking at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference, Adam Back highlighted the rationale behind his investment in H100 Group.
“We have been around since 2014 and we work with our investors to put Bitcoin in a balance sheet back then and since then,” he said.
“It’s very hard to outperform Bitcoin… most people that invest in things since Bitcoin around thought I should put that in Bitcoin and not in the other thing.”
Back’s comments underscore a growing trend among forward-thinking firms to adopt Bitcoin as a foundational asset.
His direct involvement with H100 lends significant credibility to the firm’s treasury approach, reinforcing the view that Bitcoin can serve as a superior store of value in an increasingly unstable economic landscape.
