Altvest Capital has rebranded as Africa Bitcoin Corporation (ABC), officially becoming Africa’s first publicly listed Bitcoin Treasury Company. This strategic pivot, echoing similar successful models by Japan’s Metaplanet and the UK’s The Smarter Web Company, positions South Africa at the forefront of the global digital asset revolution.
Bitcoin will serve as ABC’s primary reserve asset. This forward-thinking strategy is underpinned by a portfolio of established, income-generating businesses — including the Altvest Credit Opportunities Fund, the luxurious Umganu Lodge, and the Bambanani Family Group — providing both stability and growth. This unique blend of cutting-edge digital asset strategy with traditional financial strength offers a compelling proposition for the modern investor.
To drive this ambitious vision, ABC has launched an initial public offering (IPO), inviting both retail and institutional investors to participate in this landmark opportunity. Shares are priced at R11 and are available for purchase through the JSE AltX and A2X markets. Investors can acquire shares via a JSE-accredited broker, by direct email to the company, or through a dedicated online subscription portal.
Beyond its financial goals, ABC is championing a broader mission of African financial inclusion, aiming to become one of the world’s largest institutional holders of Bitcoin while fostering economic empowerment across the continent.
Led by a formidable board including Chief Executive Officer Warren Wheatley and Independent Chairman Stafford Masie, Africa Bitcoin Corporation represents a powerful fusion of high finance, technological innovation, and African ambition. It is not only a story of market disruption, but also of a continent confidently claiming its place in the future of global economics.
