Helium Ventures plc (AQSE: HEV), soon to be renamed VaultZ Capital plc (ticker: V3TC), has raised £4 million in an oversubscribed placing at 43p per share, ahead of its admission to the AQSE Growth Market on 26 June 2025.
Positioning itself as an alternative investment vehicle, the company plans to deploy capital into high-growth, disruptive sectors, with a focus on early-stage opportunities in tech, blockchain, and digital assets. A key feature of its strategy includes a bitcoin treasury allocation, using BTC as a long-term store of value.
The rebrand to VaultZ Capital reflects a strategic shift toward decentralised and modern asset classes, adopting a venture-style approach aimed at delivering returns over a disciplined, multi-year investment horizon.
