In a bold step blending traditional mining with digital innovation, London-listed Bluebird Mining Ventures Ltd has secured a £2 million funding facility to begin purchasing Bitcoin, signaling a major shift in its treasury strategy.
The announcement, made on June 25, 2025, marks a turning point for the company, which is preparing to finalize a profit-sharing gold agreement in the Philippines. The deal will allow Bluebird to receive 10% of the project’s profits, along with bonus royalty payments—an income stream the company plans to convert into Bitcoin holdings as part of its long-term strategy.
A Strategic Shift to Digital Assets
Of the £2 million secured, £1 million is available immediately, with the funding structured as a zero-interest loan set to mature on December 31, 2026. The lender has the option to convert the loan into shares of Bluebird at 2 pence per share, offering both sides flexibility.
Bluebird has made it clear that its goal is to diversify revenue while taking a modern approach to capital management. As announced earlier this month, the company intends to recycle future gold profits into Bitcoin, positioning BTC as a long-term store of value alongside its mining operations.
Why This Matters
Bluebird’s move mirrors a growing trend among companies looking to hedge against fiat currency risks by holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets. With gold revenues expected to ramp up from the Philippine project, the company appears confident in leveraging both gold and Bitcoin to strengthen its financial position.
This dual-asset strategy could offer resilience in volatile markets and attract forward-thinking investors who see value in both physical and digital assets.
