Sequans CEO Doubles Down: ’We’re Buying More Bitcoin—Here’s Why’

Another corporate whale joins the Bitcoin feeding frenzy—and this one's hungry for more.

The Accumulation Game

Sequans' CEO just tipped their hand in the high-stakes poker game of corporate Bitcoin holdings. No hedging, no apologies—just a straight-up commitment to keep stacking sats.

Wall Street Meets Cypherpunk

While traditional finance bros clutch their pearls over volatility, tech execs are quietly rewriting treasury management playbooks. 'Diversify your bonds' just got a 21st-century upgrade.

The Bottom Line

Another Fortune 500 balance sheet flips the bird to cash depreciation. Because nothing says 'financial prudence' like betting on internet magic money—until it works.

Sequans’ CEO reveals plan to continue acquiring Bitcoin in the future

According to Georges Karam, Sequans’ CEO, Bitcoin’s unique properties will help Sequans’ financial resilience and create long-term value for its shareholders. He added that the company intends to continue accumulating Bitcoin using the extra cash collected from its Core business and additional proceeds.

"With the closing of this financing, we are excited to begin executing our bitcoin treasury strategy," said Georges Karam, CEO of Sequans.https://t.co/mL9h9rzlRQ#Sequans #Bitcoin #BitcoinTreasury #TreasuryStrategy #Innovation #IoT #DigitalAssets pic.twitter.com/Cz38Fc3ry6

The investment funds were accumulated from selling 139,444,614 American Depository Shares (ADSs), each representing 10 ordinary shares at 0.01 pounds per share. The offering included Ordinary Shares and common warrants to purchase up to 20,916,680 ADSs that are exercisable within 90 days of the closing of the offering. The purchase was to be executed at a combined price of $1.40 per ADS and common warrant, accumulating $195 million into the total investment kitty. 

The offering received $189 million in the principal amount of the secured convertible debentures maturing on July 7, 2028, at a 4% original issuance discount. The common warrants to purchase up to 20,249,997 ADS exercisable within 90 days of the closing offering and Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of $2.10 per ADS. The warrants are subject to changes, bringing the total received funds to approximately $384 million. The common warrants exercised at $1.40 per ADS WOULD accumulate an additional $57.6 million if exercised in full.

Sequans plans to partner with Swan Bitcoin, a premier Bitcoin financial services platform and institutional services provider, to use its expertise to ensure secure execution, robust governance, and market transparency. 

The investment attracted over 40 institutions, with Northland Capital Markets and B. Riley Securities working jointly as the offering agents and Yorkville Securities participating as the placement agent. Lowenstein Sandler LLP acted as the U.S. legal counsel, and ARCHERS (AARPI) was the French legal counsel for Sequans. For the placement agents, Goodwin Procter, LLP acted as U.S and French legal counsel.

Sequans has entered the growing trend of companies investing in Bitcoin Strategy, such as Strategy and Metaplanet, that are gradually incorporating cryptocurrencies into their financial strategies. Sequans’ retail sentiment has improved to extremely bullish on StockTwits, indicating most users are posting on the symbol’s stream. 

Companies like Japanese Metaplanet have adopted the idea that institutional Bitcoin accumulation is not too late. Recent estimates revealed that the combined holdings by institutions are approximately 3.49 million BTC of the total Bitcoin supply.  BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust is the largest holder among ETFs, along with contributions from Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust and ARK. 

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, has argued that economic challenges are the main reason companies adopt a Bitcoin Strategy. He says it helps them hedge against inflation. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, Microstrategy currently holds 597,325 BTC. 

Dylan LeClair, director of Bitcoin Strategy at Metaplanet, cited that the sovereign debt levels, relative to GDP, were reaching an unsustainable level. He believes the debt is unlikely to be repaid in due time without prolonged financial constraints, leading to a period where inflation exceeds interest rates.
