Bitburger Holding GmbH

Bitburger Holding GmbH

Bitburger Holding GmbH was established in 1817 when the Simon family opened its brewery in Bitburg. The family has retained ownership through successive generations and now routes all investment activity through the holding company. The firm allocates across private equity, secondaries, fund-of-funds vehicles and direct co-investments or SPVs. Asset classes include industrial technology, healthcare services, circular economy projects, agritech and foodtech, cannabis and psychedelics, and sports and wellness. Confirmed holdings comprise Bitcoin Group SE, MoonPay and the Bitburger Braugruppe. All activity remains inside Europe. The office employs no disclosed headcount figure. It maintains a Luxembourg real-estate entity at 18-20 rue Gabriel Lippmann, L-5365 Munsbach. Matthäus Niewodniczanski also sits on the presidium of the Wirtschaftsrat der CDU. The Bitburger Brauerei Stiftung operates as the family's separate philanthropic vehicle. Ownership stays concentrated in the Simon family with two managing directors drawn from family and long-term business partners. This structure allows the office to combine control of the original brewery with external venture and private-equity exposure without external capital.
