Satsuma Shareholders Approve Bitcoin Liquidation, London Delisting
Satsuma shareholders have voted to unwind the companyβs bitcoin treasury and pull its shares off the London Stock Exchange.
At a general meeting on July 20, holders passed two special resolutions: one to return substantially all of Satsumaβs capital to shareholders, the other to cancel the companyβs listing on the FCAβs Official List.Β
The capital return resolution carried 90.63% support, with 7,869,182,042 votes in favor against 813,703,719 opposed. The delisting resolution passed with near-identical margins, 90.59% in favor.
The board will now close out Satsumaβs trading operations and sell the companyβs remaining bitcoin, roughly 668 BTC.Β
The stock had traded as Satsuma Technology PLC (LSE: SATS), one of the UKβs bitcoin treasury vehicles, second in size only to The Smarter Web Company.
A timetable set out in the June 24 shareholder circular governs the wind-down. The record time for entitlement to B Shares falls at 6 p.m. on August 3, the deadline for warrant holders to exercise their warrants if they want the resulting ordinary shares included in the capital return.Β
Once the total number of qualifying shares is fixed, Satsuma will petition the UK High Court to confirm the return of capital. A directions hearing is set for August 13, with a confirmation hearing to follow on September 8.Β
Under that schedule, the listing cancellation lands on September 14, and payments and CREST transfers go out by September 28.
Satsumaβs bitcoin struggles
The vote caps a run of trouble for a company that built its identity around holding bitcoin on a public balance sheet. Satsuma bought most of its coins at an average price above $113,000.Β
With bitcoin trading below $68,000 in July, the treasury sat on steep unrealized losses, and Satsumaβs shares fell more than 99% from their June 2025 peak near Β£14 to around 21 pence, a valuation below the worth of its own bitcoin holdings.
The company had already begun trimming its position under liquidity pressure. In December 2025, the company sold 579 of its 1,199 bitcoin for roughly Β£40 million, proceeds it used to retire Β£78 million in convertible loan notes that matured on December 31. That sale left the company with 620 BTC and about Β£90 million in cash.Β
By April, Pantera Capital, which held a 6% to 7% stake, was publicly pushing Satsumaβs board to sell its remaining bitcoin and hand the cash back to shareholders rather than persist as a listed treasury company.Β
That pressure, combined with a shareholder requisition from holders representing more than 20% of Satsumaβs issued capital, forced Wednesdayβs vote.
The board itself split on the outcome. Four of six directors recommended shareholders reject the wind-down, arguing it would dismantle a listed bitcoin vehicle and close off the companyβs existing strategy. Two directors backed the proposal, citing shareholder demand and the execution risk of continuing as a going concern.
Satsumaβs exit adds to a wave of distress among smaller bitcoin treasury companies as coin prices sit well below the levels at which many of them accumulated their holdings, leaving boards to choose between raising fresh capital or returning what remains to shareholders.
