aifinyo takes over MicroStrategy’s role in Europe, officially establishing the first Bitcoin treasury company in Germany. The company hopes to purchase 10,000 Bitcoins by 2027, worth $1.1 billion at current prices.
The company has already received its first investment in partnership with UTXO and has solid plans to continue accumulating BTC. Still, the entire sector is reeling from concerns about regulation and inventory dilution, which could derail those ambitious plans.

Germany’s first Bitcoin Treasury
Corporate BTC acquisition will become a massive industry trend in 2025 and shows no signs of stopping. Digital asset treasury (DAT) companies continue to buy Bitcoin, with a German startup poised to move at breakneck speed.
According to the company’s press release, aifinyo has become Germany’s first listed Bitcoin DAT. The company announced a $3.5 million investment from UTXO Management as part of a long-term partnership.
Aifinyo plans to purchase Bitcoin exclusively, with the company’s valuation centered around the acquisition of BTC.
“We are building Germany’s first corporate Bitcoin machine. Bitcoin will be generated for shareholders from every invoice paid by an Iffinyo customer. No speculation, no market timing, just a systematic accumulation of deflationary assets,” claimed Stefan Kempf, co-founder and chairman of the board of Iffinyo.
But its ambition is especially noteworthy. The “German MicroStrategy” aims to purchase 10,000 Bitcoins by 2027, which would require more than $1.1 billion at current prices.
Relying on its initial investment and existing cash reserves, Aifinyo plans to expand into “business accounts and credit cards” next year to generate new revenue streams.

Are you late to the party?
Still, this all seems pretty unstable. The company claimed that Germany: It is an attractive region to establish a Bitcoin DAT. Regulation friendly.
However, the Treasury’s overall strategy shows major red flags, with analysts concerned that it could pose macroeconomic risks to cryptocurrencies.
MicroStrategy, a major finance company, significantly reduced the amount of its purchases due to concerns about stock dilution. Some companies have developed more investor-friendly approaches, which may or may not be scalable, but this issue is unique to all DATs.
If aifinyo wants to stockpile BTC quickly, it may not be able to afford a more stable approach.
Moreover, even if the German company were able to quickly acquire Bitcoin and please its shareholders, that’s not the only concern. U.S. regulators have launched a major investigation into DAT companies over insider trading concerns.
To be clear, this crackdown occurred in the United States, and the United States is clearly trying to reduce its enforcement of cryptocurrencies. German and European regulators are known to be more strict when it comes to Bitcoin, which could make companies like aifinyo an attractive target in the future.
In other words, there are a lot of variables at the moment. Aifinyo may be able to develop a revolutionary strategy in the New World, and may be a latecomer to the party. But the effort shows that DAT acquisition is not slowing down yet.
