Volodymyr Nosov, founder and president of global fintech ecosystem W Group and WhiteBIT, and member of the Diia.City United Strategic Board, is acquiring a significant stake in Dutch sports car manufacturer Spyker.
As part of the transaction, Spyker Cars will become part of W Group — a step that marks the ecosystem’s expansion beyond fintech and digital assets into the Web2 sphere of premium automotive manufacturing.
For W Group, the investment in Spyker represents the next phase of the group’s evolution: a transformation from a fintech and blockchain ecosystem into a diversified international holding company, where innovation, digital infrastructure, and real-world assets operate within a single strategic framework.
The investment is intended to support the revival and long-term development of one of Europe’s most historic automotive brands. Alongside the investment, W Group and Spyker will launch Spyker Digital — a company developing blockchain infrastructure for the premium automotive sector that will enhance customer experience while preserving the exclusivity of Spyker brand.
Volodymyr Nosov spoke about reimagining the brand for a new era while preserving its classic values:
For many years, I have been invested in rare automobiles and have always admired Spyker’s unique design language and extraordinary heritage. Becoming a co-owner of Spyker is both a personal and strategic investment. Our goal is to preserve everything that makes the brand special while helping it enter a new era of growth, innovation, and global relevance. Spyker Digital will become a synergy of the finest traditions of European engineering and the digital economy, where a sports car is integrated with blockchain products and tokens.
Victor Muller, Founder and CEO of Spyker, welcomed the partnership as a significant milestone in the company’s return to the global market:
The enthusiasm we have seen since announcing the new Spyker C8 Preliator XXV confirms that there is strong demand for the return of Spyker. With Volodymyr Nosov and W Group joining us as partners, we gain not only long-term strategic support, but also access to technologies and expertise that will help us build the next chapter of the Spyker story.
The Road to Pebble Beach
