OranjeBTC has entered Brazil’s B3 stock exchange through a reverse IPO using Intergraus, an already-listed education-focused firm. The company holds a reserve of 3,650 bitcoins, currently valued at over $420 million based on recent market prices. Its goal is to offer exposure to Bitcoin through regulated equities for those who are restricted from buying cryptocurrency directly.
This move brings OranjeBTC into the public market without a traditional IPO process, streamlining regulatory navigation. Instead, the firm utilized Intergraus, which it acquired earlier, as a direct listing vehicle. This strategy enabled OranjeBTC to enter B3 more quickly and with lower overhead.
As it begins trading, the company plans to expand its Bitcoin holdings while educating shareholders through a new learning platform. This platform will operate under Intergraus’ existing infrastructure. OranjeBTC aims to demystify Bitcoin for a broader audience while increasing market liquidity and transparency.
Winklevoss Twins and Global Investors Back OranjeBTC’s Public Push
OranjeBTC secured high-profile backing ahead of its listing, including Gemini’s Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Additional support came from Banco Azteca’s Ricardo Salinas, crypto brokerage FalconX, and Blockstream CEO Adam Back. These alliances reinforce its position among crypto-forward firms seeking mainstream financial integration.
This influential backing elevates OranjeBTC’s credibility as it positions itself in a market with limited public crypto exposure. Such partnerships signal strong confidence in the firm’s long-term strategy. These players bring capital, expertise, and international visibility to the Brazilian newcomer.
The presence of these investors also sets OranjeBTC apart from local fintech competitors, such as Meliuz, which was the first to introduce a bitcoin treasury in Brazil. OranjeBTC, however, focuses exclusively on Bitcoin as its core business model. This specialization aims to attract a more defined audience looking for direct crypto-related equity exposure.
Education-Driven Approach Anchors OranjeBTC’s Growth Strategy
OranjeBTC will leverage Intergraus to launch a financial education platform tailored for shareholders. This initiative aims to close knowledge gaps and support informed trading in a rapidly evolving asset class. The platform integrates seamlessly into the firm’s broader objective to normalize Bitcoin participation.
Guilherme Gomes, founder and CEO of OranjeBTC, structured a dual approach to drive adoption while respecting local regulatory limits. By using equities as a proxy, the company offers access without requiring direct Bitcoin custody. This aligns with compliance rules affecting pension funds, insurers, and other restricted market participants.
OranjeBTC plans to expand its reserves and broaden its shareholder base by fostering trust through education and regulation. It aims to join the ranks of top global corporate holders of Bitcoin. Although still behind giants like MicroStrategy, its reserve positions the firm among the top 30 globally.
