About London BTC Company Limited
The Company's primary listing is on the London Stock Exchange (United Kingdom) under the ticker "BTC.L" and it trades in the USA on the OTCQB under the ticker "VINZF". The Company is building up a strategic Bitcoin holding through acquiring Bitcoin as a treasury and currency management tool and through adding Bitcoin generated from its mining operations in North America. The Company currently operates Bitcoin miners hosted across multiple third-party facilities in Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas (USA) and Labrador (Canada). As part of its hedging strategy, the Company has begun building a portfolio of US gold assets in the Tier 1 gold jurisdiction of Nevada, to complement its core Bitcoin treasury and mining operations, thereby providing shareholders with exposure to two scarce and globally recognised stores of value.
