Swedish health technology pioneer H100 Group AB made headlines on Thursday with its announcement of acquiring 4.39 BTC, thereby positioning itself as the first publicly listed company in Sweden to hold Bitcoin as part of its treasury assets.
In a statement shared on the social media platform X, the company expressed that this acquisition is a key step in its long-term strategy to reshape its balance sheet in alignment with principles of sovereignty, resilience, and digital innovation.
Based in Stockholm, H100 Group, well-known for its AI-driven healthcare automation solutions, invested approximately 5 million NOK (around $475,000) in Bitcoin as part of its “long-term” Bitcoin Treasury Strategy.
The company emphasized that this strategic move aims to utilize excess liquidity, thereby reinforcing its financial position, according to an official release.
“By adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset, H100 becomes one of the earliest public health infrastructure firms in Europe to take this step,” the company noted.
Continuing Bitcoin Accumulation
In a conversation with Finance Newso, H100 CEO Sander Andersen clarified that the firm’s purchase is not intended as a short-term investment.
“This move represents a structural alignment with the evolution of currency and is a protective strategy for our balance sheet while aiming for long-term value accumulation,” he stated.
Andersen further elaborated on their philosophy of “build and hold,” indicating that Bitcoin is regarded not as a trade but as a savings technology and a robust long-term asset.
Additionally, he revealed that H100 has issued a Letter of Intent for a convertible loan of up to 10 million SEK to expedite its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
H100 Group joins a growing cohort of public companies integrating Bitcoin into their financial portfolios in 2025. Other notable additions include Twenty One Capital and Strive, among others.
“Our inspiration comes from prominent U.S. treasury firms, and we will actively seek strategic opportunities to responsibly expand our Bitcoin holdings,” Andersen remarked.
Rising Institutional Crypto Adoption
The CEO noted a trend where investors increasingly anticipate that balance sheets should reflect future financial landscapes.
“H100 takes pride in being an early adopter in the Nordic region, ensuring our capital structure aligns with the values we embody,” he shared with Finance Newso. “Our vision is to serve as a model for operational companies—particularly those catering to individuals seeking sovereignty—on how to integrate Bitcoin into treasury practices and overall strategy.”
The timing of H100’s Bitcoin debut coincides with a growing movement among Swedish lawmakers advocating for the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve at the governmental level.
Recently, members of Parliament proposed that Sweden initiate the accumulation of Bitcoin either through direct policy implementation or budget-neutral strategies. They have formally requested the country’s finance minister to consider incorporating Bitcoin into the national financial strategy.
Navigating Bitcoin Volatility
In discussing the consideration of Bitcoin as a treasury asset, CEO Andersen acknowledged it as the top-performing asset of the past decade and highlighted its increasing acceptance.
“We perceive Bitcoin as a component of our liquidity—and not as our primary operational funding. H100 remains dedicated to health infrastructure focused on preventive care,” he noted. “By allocating a portion of our reserves to Bitcoin, we are aligning ourselves with the values and needs of the community we support.”
