Event Summary

SWI Capital Holding Ltd, a listed investment group on Euronext Amsterdam, announced on August 13, 2026, the completion of its acquisition of a controlling stake of over 70% in Genesis Digital Assets Limited (GDA), which will be renamed SWI Digital. This acquisition is part of SWI Group's strategic shift towards digital infrastructure, which now accounts for over 80% of its capital allocation, with plans to increase this to above 90%. The group also announced it will develop its own HPC and GPU-as-a-service platform, leveraging its data center assets. Additionally, SWI Group decided not to pursue the previously announced acquisition of Polarise GmbH, instead providing financing to Polarise GmbH's founders. The group expects double-digit balance sheet growth in 2026. Morgan Stanley acted as exclusive financial advisor for the GDA acquisition.
