According to a recent conference call, Méliuz chairman Israel Salmen was similar to Bitcoin with a “nuclear reactor” after the company’s share saw a sudden increase.
The fintech company won the shareholder’s approval to become Brasil’s first Bitcoin Treasury Company. Shareholders supported the shift by a large margin.
Salmen said the move marks a new road for Méliuz, one that binds the company’s health directly to the execution of Bitcoin per share. It was a bold turn that has already captured the investors’ eye at home and abroad.

Méliuz builds bitcoin treasure chamber
Based on reports, Méliuz Paid approximately $ 28.4 million last week to acquire 274.52 BTC. These coins join an existing stash of 45.78 BTC, which gives a total of 320 BTC.
The Salmen noted that the company is planning to add more coins in an “accurate way”, with different financial tools. It’s not a hedge against market swings, he said.
Bitcoin is now sitting in the heart of the company’s balance sheet. Each new purchase should provide fair value to each share.

Stock rally fuels interest
According to information shared by Vaneck’s Matthew Sigel, the Méliuz share jumped from R $ 3.00 in mid -February 2025 to R $ 10.70 in mid -May.
Trade volume nailed in April and gave rally fresh muscle. That kind of price movement turns the head. Some traders say it is a sign that the connection of the share to Bitcoin can pay off.
Others warn that a backback in Bitcoin would hit Méliuz hard. The stock run has still put the company on the map.
