Malta, May 5, 2025. Samara Asset Group (ISIN: MT0001770107; Ticker: SRAG:GR) is pleased to announce the launch of the Samara Bitcoin Consumer Price Index (BTCCPI). The newly unveiled index showcases how much Bitcoin’s purchasing power has increased since inception for standard goods and services, due to its disinflationary nature, as opposed to fiat currencies, which continually lose purchasing power due to inflation and manipulation from Central Banks. 

The Samara BTCCPI is a new economic indicator that measures how much the value of a basket of goods used for the official CPI data in Europe and the United States has changed over time if priced in Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s most perfect currency, rather than USD or EUR. BTCCPI will continually be updated in parallel with the publishing of CPI data. 

Traditional CPI charts for Europe and the U.S. show a clear trend: goods and services continually become more expensive while fiat currencies lose their purchasing power due to inflation. However, that picture looks very different when everything is priced in Bitcoin. 

When a basket of goods and services commonly used for the traditional CPI is priced in Bitcoin, the price decreases over time, albeit with short-term fluctuations in purchasing power. 

“Inflation metrics like CPI that are used to track the rising cost of living have a fundamental flaw… they only measure prices in fiat currencies, which are constantly losing purchasing power due to inflation," explained Patrick Lowry, CEO of Samara Asset Group. “Instead of measuring goods and services in failing fiat currencies, we've created an alternative that leverages a currency with a fixed supply and predictable monetary policy, Bitcoin. The Samara BTCCPI reveals how Bitcoin's purchasing power has evolved relative to everyday expenses. Bitcoin is often called 'hard money' for a reason, and for the first time, our index clearly shows precisely how much harder Bitcoin is compared to traditional fiat currencies.”

Samara leverages Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset to enable its shareholders to benefit from Bitcoin’s potential increase in purchasing power over time.
