Twenty One Capital Posts $413.5M Q2 Loss and Announces Pivot From Bitcoin Treasury

New CEO Raphael Zagury says the firm will build operating businesses and Bitcoin‑backed lending to create cash flow.

Overview

  • Twenty One reported a $413.5 million net loss for Q2 2026 driven almost entirely by a $401.5 million fair‑value decline in its 43,514 BTC holding.
  • Combined first‑half losses now total about $1.27 billion, with roughly $1.25 billion of that coming from accounting revaluations of its Bitcoin.
  • On Aug. 11 Zagury told shareholders the company will pursue acquisitions, capital‑markets services and a conservatively leveraged Bitcoin‑backed lending business to produce operating cash.
  • Company filings show 16,116 BTC, about 37% of the treasury, are pledged as collateral for convertible notes and are not available for general corporate liquidity.
  • Investors value XXI well below the gross coin value, creating pressure on management to prove that new businesses can close the discount and cover corporate costs.
