Warren as chief investment officer on Aug. 12, placing the veteran markets executive in charge of derivatives and risk management after the Swedish company nearly tripled its Bitcoin treasury through a Norwegian acquisition, according to a release.</p><div id="cn-block-summary-block_99fa46b7ab0176ad627a9a9aea90c44e" class="cn-block-summary"><div class="cn-block-summary__nav tabs"><span class="tabs__item is-selected">Summary</span></div><div class="cn-block-summary__content"><ul class="wp-block-list"><li>H100 appointed Peter C.

The company says that strategy is intended to preserve capital, manage downside risk and generate additional cash flow while maintaining exposure to Bitcoin.</p><p>Warren has more than 45 years of capital markets experience as a trader, market maker, fund manager and chief investment officer, according to the group. He said the objective is to “manage risk and generate additional cash flow while retaining exposure to Bitcoin’s long-term potential.” That is the company’s stated investment objective rather than a promised return.</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>H100 Group appoints <a href="https://x.com/PeterCWarren?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@PeterCWarren</a> as Chief Investment Officer.<br><br>Warren brings more than 45 years of experience from global capital markets as a trader, market maker, fund manager and Chief Investment Officer, with deep expertise in derivatives, portfolio management and risk… <a href="https://t.co/D2Cz0xRRxt" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/D2Cz0xRRxt</a></p>— H100 (@H100Group) <a href="https://x.com/H100Group/status/2087434572132741613?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">August 12, 2026</a></blockquote></div></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-appointment-follows-h100-s-2-455-btc-acquisition-strong"><strong>Appointment follows H100’s 2,455 BTC acquisition</strong></h2><p>As previously reported, H100 <a href="https://crypto.news/h100-acquires-2455-bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">completed its acquisition of 2,455.37 BTC</a> on Aug. 10 through its purchase of NSD AS, which owns Moonshot and PDI. The transaction raised the company’s treasury to 3,506.4 BTC from roughly 1,051 BTC and brought Warren’s existing investment management work inside the listed group.</p><p>The group paid no cash for the acquisition. It issued 790,534,666 new shares to the sellers at SEK 1.86 each, creating roughly 70% dilution based on the share count when the deal closed. The group said basic sats per share were unchanged because the transaction used a Bitcoin for Bitcoin valuation, while fully diluted sats per share increased about 5%.</p><p>The transaction was completed at 1.0x mNAV using a July 31 Bitcoin reference price of SEK 598,926.69, or about $62,900. The target had no outstanding financial debt, according to the group. Principal seller Geir Harald Hansen also agreed to a 12 month lockup on his consideration shares, subject to specified exceptions.</p><p>The enlarged treasury was worth about $223 million at Bitcoin’s price near $63,637 on Wednesday. The company has built the position rapidly since its first treasury purchase in May 2025. It later <a href="https://crypto.news/h100-group-raises-54-million-for-its-bitcoin-treasury-strategy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">raised $54 million for its Bitcoin treasury strategy</a> and <a href="https://crypto.news/swedish-bitcoin-treasury-firm-h100-group-cross-lists-on-frankfurt-stock-exchange/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cross listed its shares in Frankfurt</a>.</p><p>H100 shares had already advanced before Warren’s appointment. S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/quote/ngm/H100/history/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a> show the stock closed at SEK 1.198 on Aug. 11, up 11.55%, after gaining 11.99% on Aug. 10. Those moves followed the acquisition announcement and preceded Wednesday’s CIO news.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1024" height="537" src="https://media.crypto.news/2026/08/image-75-1024x537.webp" alt="H100 shares price chart, source: StockAnalysis" class="wp-image-14477671"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> H100 shares price chart, source: StockAnalysis </figcaption></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-shareholders-will-vote-on-warren-s-board-seat-august-28-strong"><strong>Shareholders will vote on Warren’s board seat August 28</strong></h2><p>Warren’s executive appointment comes one day after the group called an extraordinary general meeting for Aug. 28. Shareholders representing more than 10% of the company’s shares and votes have proposed electing Warren, Geir Harald Hansen, Donald Ewer and Daniel Nyberg as new directors, while re-electing Sander Andersen as chairman, according to the <a href="https://www.mfn.se/a/h100-group/notice-of-extraordinary-general-meeting-in-h100-group-ab-1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">notice</a>.</p><p>The notice says Warren owns 2,472,692 H100 shares, including shares issued through the Aug. 10 transaction. It classifies him as dependent on both company management and major shareholders because he is an H100 employee and sits on the board of majority shareholder Geir Harald Hansen’s family office.</p><p>For the meeting, shareholders must be entered in the Euroclear Sweden register by Aug. 20 and notify H100 of participation by Aug. 24. The company also expects the 790.5 million consideration shares from the NSD acquisition to begin trading on NGM Nordic SME as soon as practicable.</p><p>The next test for the strategy will be how the company deploys PDI’s derivatives capabilities across its larger treasury. The company has not disclosed specific options positions, target yields or risk limits. Any cash flow or downside protection from the strategy will therefore depend on future execution and market conditions.</p><p>Read more: <a href="https://crypto.news/bitwise-cuts-14-of-jobs-as-bitw-assets-fall-31-in-2026/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Bitwise cuts 14% of jobs as BITW assets fall 31% in 2026 </a></p>
