Bitcoin Group SE holds Annual General Meeting 2023 - dividend of EUR 0.10 per share resolved again

Herford, August 14, 2023 - Bitcoin Group SE (ISIN DE000A1TNV91) successfully held its Annual General Meeting 2023 last Friday. The shareholders approved all proposed resolutions on the agenda with large majorities. A total of 32.75% of the share capital was present at the Annual General Meeting.

In his speech, the Management Board looked back on the challenging financial year 2022, which was characterized by recession concerns in the economy and the negative market sentiment against all assets from equities to bonds as well as precious metals and cryptocurrencies triggered by the massive increase in interest rates of the global central banks. In this environment, Bitcoin Group SE had to record a decline in trading activity on the cryptocurrency platform Bitcoin.de and therefore also in earnings. With an EBITDA of EUR 1.4 million, Bitcoin Group SE nevertheless closed also the financial year 2022 with a positive operating result. Shareholders will benefit from the business development again in the form of a dividend of EUR 0.10 per share (previous year: EUR 0.10).

"We are solidly financed, on the one hand, to continue to pursue our growth strategy flexibly and from our own resources, and on the other hand to allow our shareholders to participate in the profits of our Company in the form of a stable dividend at the level of the previous year. Although the year 2022 was demanding, we have mastered the challenges and look to the future with strength and optimism. We are only in the early stages of the crypto evolution and are confident that we, as Bitcoin Group, have by no means exhausted the existing potential," said Marco Bodewein, CEO of Bitcoin Group SE.

The voting results are available on the Bitcoin Group SE website at bitcoingroup.com in the Annual General Meeting section.
