Backing Tomorrow’s Tech Today : Inside Blue Star Capital’s Bold Growth Strategy
“…The obvious question is why not just buy the crypto itself ? There are several reasons why you should use an established, longstanding Company that has been in this space for a long time…”
The chairman of Blue Star Capital has an ambition that the investment company will become a vehicle for a substantial business, and in many ways that is what it is rapidly becoming thanks to its carefully curated investee businesses that specialise in the areas of blockchain, e-sports and payments.
Blue Star’s portfolio currently has four components including a particularly large 50% shareholding in SatoshiPay the business which connects the fiat financial system to the DeFi (decentralized finance) ecosystem. Anthony Fabrizi, Blue Star’s chair has wholesale confidence in SatoshiPay’s current and future capabilities and the intention is to provide additional liquidity to SatoshiPay’s subsidiary Vortex, and assist its expansion and development particularly its digital asset treasury function.
Digital asset treasury truly entered the investor stream of consciousness in June 2025 as more listed companies announced they were embracing digital assets for the purpose of acquisition collateral. Main board listed Panther Metals for example purchased £4 million worth of Bitcoin holding them as digital reserve to partially fund the acquisition of the Pick Lake deposit in Ontario.
The traditional is increasingly being replaced by the alternative. Fabrizi himself has a traditional investment banking, stockbroking background with an eye for the innovative and the new, and has a deep respect for Meinhard Benn the founder of SatoshiPay who is incubating the new technology that the corporate and curious are converting to.
Benn was an early ‘miner’ in the bitcoin sense and now relishing the exposure to the city that has long been Fabrizi’s domain.
The symbiosis between Blue Star and SatoshiPay is palpable. Corporate finance advice and funds for Benn’s business, and for Blue Star a gateway into a gigantic market that Fabrizi says is enormous. The main target market is money transfer which is estimated to be $2.35 trillion in 2027 with $30 billion in cross-border stablecoin payments volume alone.
After ten years with Blue Star, Fabrizi is close to crystallizing the ambition he has for his company. Meinhard meanwhile sees views his business like a living document, an “open-ended development becoming a very successful money transmitter and running all over the world.”
