OranjeBTC reaches $255M in Bitcoin holdings, accumulates 3,950 BTC

5 days ago 7

A Brazilian company that barely existed two years ago now holds roughly $255 million worth of Bitcoin, making it the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury in Latin America and one of the top 25 among public companies globally.

OranjeBTC, trading on Brazil’s B3 exchange under the ticker OBTC3.SA, has accumulated 3,950 BTC as of early August 2026. The company went public less than a year ago with around 3,650 BTC. It has been buying steadily ever since.

The company behind the stack

OranjeBTC was founded by Guilherme Gomes, a former partner at Bridgewater Associates. The company went public in October 2025 through a reverse IPO, acquiring the educational platform Intergraus to gain its B3 listing.

Its average cost basis sits at approximately $105,000 per BTC, which means the company has been acquiring through what has been a sustained high-price environment rather than buying at cycle lows.

The investor list includes Adam Back, the cryptographer whose work Bitcoin’s proof-of-work mechanism is directly based on. So are the Winklevoss twins, who have been institutional Bitcoin advocates since 2013. Ricardo Salinas Pliego, the Mexican billionaire who has publicly called Bitcoin his second-largest personal asset, is also involved.

The STRC move and what it signals

In March 2026, OranjeBTC became the first public company to hold STRC, Strategy’s variable-rate perpetual preferred equity, on its balance sheet.

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, pioneered the corporate Bitcoin treasury playbook under Michael Saylor. Perpetual preferred equity with a variable rate pays ongoing dividends and never matures. The company still holds Bitcoin as its primary reserve, and STRC represents a secondary position rather than a pivot.

Why LatAm matters for this story

OranjeBTC also has ADR availability under the ticker ORNJY, meaning US investors can access the stock through American depositary receipts without touching Brazilian markets directly.
