Capital B posts wider H1 net loss of $78 million on bitcoin impairment charge

Capital B reported a wider first-half net loss of $78 million, with roughly $75.9 million (€67.5 million) of that loss attributed to an additional bitcoin impairment charge. The impairment reflects the accounting write-down of the company's bitcoin holdings, not necessarily a sale of the asset. For traders, the news is a reminder of how bitcoin price declines can hit corporate balance sheets that hold BTC as a treasury asset, though the impact is company-specific rather than a broad market catalyst.
