The Blockchain Group’s stock has fallen over 4% since opening, currently trading at €5.53 at the time of writing, according to Euronext data. The stock is still trading.

The Blockchain Group is among a growing number of companies stockpiling bitcoin. Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, remains the largest publicly traded corporate holder of bitcoin, with total holdings reaching 592,100 BTC following its 10,100 BTC purchase announced Monday.

Bitcoin edged down 0.42% in the past 24 hours to trade at $106,629, according to The Block’s bitcoin price page.
