Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
LONDON - Helium Ventures plc, a UK-based investment company, has announced its plans to establish a Bitcoin treasury and clarified its position on cryptocurrency derivatives. The company confirmed that it would not engage in the marketing, distribution, or sale of cryptoasset derivatives or exchange traded notes to retail investors in compliance with the Financial Conduct Authority’s rules.
The general meeting (GM) for shareholders is scheduled for June 18, 2025, at Eccleston Yards, London. The agenda includes establishing a Bitcoin treasury function in partnership with NewQube Holdings Ltd, a proposed change of the company’s name to VaultZ Capital plc, and a recent fundraise of £1.2 million.
Helium Ventures raised the funds through a combination of new ordinary shares and a conditional subscription, which is subject to shareholder approval. Additionally, the company plans to settle historic liabilities through a creditor settlement.
As part of its Bitcoin Treasury strategy, Helium Ventures has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NewQube, a Cayman Islands-based firm specializing in institutional-grade Bitcoin and crypto-asset strategies. NewQube will manage the investment through a special purpose vehicle to be renamed VaultZ Treasury, with NewQube appointed as the Investment Manager.
Helium Ventures will issue 2.5 million ordinary shares to NewQube upon shareholder approval of the Bitcoin treasury function. A management fee of 0.5% annually will be charged by NewQube, starting 12 months after the initial Bitcoin acquisition.
The company has also cautioned investors about the inherent risks associated with Bitcoin, which include extreme price volatility, lack of regulatory protection, cybersecurity threats, operational failures, and limited legal or regulatory recourse in the event of asset loss or failure.
The resolutions to be proposed at the GM will allow the directors to complete the Conditional Subscription, issue shares for advisory services, settle creditors, and provide flexibility to issue additional shares. The Board has unanimously recommended shareholders to vote in favor of the resolutions.
