Nigerian investor and crypto advocate, Gaius Chibueze, popularly known as Bitcoin Chief, has launched ESV Capital, a new company he says will serve as Africa’s first Bitcoin and Solana Treasury, with a model designed to combine digital asset reserves with funding for startups and traders.
Explaining the idea behind the project, Chibueze said the company is modeled after global firms such as MicroStrategy but tailored to Africa’s realities, where weak currencies and limited access to venture funding hinder economic growth.
“At its core, ESV Capital operates as both a Bitcoin Treasury and a Venture Capital Fund,” he said. “We are building Africa’s version of MicroStrategy, but with a uniquely African mission: to fund innovation, create jobs, and make Africa a major player in the Bitcoin economy.”
On how the initiative will work, he explained:
“The company buys and holds Bitcoin and Solana as long-term reserves, while providing a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.
Anyone worldwide can stake ESVC tokens and earn 20 per cent annual rewards in USDC, while gaining access to ESV Pitch Days where entrepreneurs can present ideas for funding.
“Profits from the treasury are reinvested into African startups and used to provide capital for skilled forex and crypto traders through our Traders Incubator programme.
Subscribers can also connect their Binance accounts to our Automated Trading Bot, which executes trades hands-free while they maintain control of their funds.
Additionally, 10 per cent of weekly treasury inflows are allocated to buy back ESVC tokens, creating transparency and a deflationary mechanism that supports token value.”
Chibueze added that every $100 entering the treasury is allocated across Solana (40%), Bitcoin (20%), USDC rewards (20%), startup funding (10%) and ESVC market buybacks (10%).
According to him, all wallet addresses are made public on-chain for accountability.
He maintained that the initiative was not just about digital assets but about linking reserves directly to African innovation.
“This creates a uniquely African financial engine—a hedge against weak currencies, a transparent source of startup capital, and a bridge between global digital asset markets and African economies,” he added.
