Al Abraaj Restaurants Group adds Bitcoin to its treasury reserves. The restaurant became the first publicly listed company in Bahrain to hold Bitcoin. The Group partners with 10X Capital to build its Bitcoin treasury strategy and offer Shariah-compliant Bitcoin exposure to Islamic investors. Al Abraaj Restaurants Group has become the first publicly listed company in Bahrain to adopt Bitcoin as part of its corporate treasury. The Bahrain-based company partnered with U.S. investment firm 10X Capital to integrate Bitcoin into its corporate reserves. The move further confirms growing interest in crypto assets among institutions and may encourage more regional firms in the Gulf region to follow suit. Al Abraaj’s decision aligns it with global firms like Strategy (MicroStrategy) in the U.S. and Japan’s Metaplanet that have also added Bitcoin to their balance sheets.

The new partnership will support Al Abraaj’s plan to raise capital and buy more Bitcoin. The firm aims to make Bitcoin per share a key performance indicator (KPI) for shareholders. Shariah-Compliant Exposure for Islamic Investors A major goal of Al Abraaj’s strategy is to offer Shariah-compliant exposure to Bitcoin. The company plans to establish a financial vehicle tailored for Islamic investors seeking digital assets that align with religious principles. By becoming a Bitcoin treasury company, Al Abraaj enables investors from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman to access Bitcoin through a regulated, publicly traded stock. Move Follows Recent IPO on Bahrain Bourse The Bitcoin move comes after Al Abraaj’s initial public offering. The company was listed on the Bahrain Bourse in December 2024 under the ticker symbol “ABRAAJ.” SICO Bank, which acted as lead manager for the IPO, celebrated the listing as a major achievement in the food and beverage sector. The listing included a bell-ringing ceremony attended by Bahrain Bourse executives, Al Abraaj leadership, and industry stakeholders.
