Sequans Announces Strategic Plan to Acquire 100,000 Bitcoin by 2030

Paris, France--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2025) - Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS), a pioneer in adopting Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset and a leading provider of cellular IoT semiconductor solutions, is proud to announce a bold and responsible plan to acquire 100,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2030. This strategic commitment reflects our deep conviction in Bitcoin as a foundational asset for institutional-grade financial resilience and long-term value creation.

Sequans launched its Bitcoin treasury strategy on July 8, 2025, with a $384 million strategic investment via a private placement of convertible debt and equity. As of August 8, 2025, the company holds 3,171 BTC, establishing a strong foundation and currently ranking as the 22nd largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder globally, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net.

"Sequans has successfully completed the first phase of its strategy, acquiring over 3,000 BTC in just one month," said Dr. Georges Karam, CEO of Sequans. "Our next objective is to scale our approach to maximize Bitcoin per share and deliver sustained value to shareholders through disciplined and responsible accumulation, with a target of acquiring 100,000 BTC by 2030."

To achieve this goal, Sequans plans to implement a phased treasury strategy:

• Throughout 2025, the company plans to continue building the first phase of its Bitcoin foundation by complementing the initial private placement by implementing public capital-raising tools.

• Next in 2026, Sequans aims to accelerate its treasury growth via strategic equity issuance, deployment of Bitcoin-backed credit instruments, and potential monetization of intellectual property assets.

• Toward 2030, the company targets to focus on continued optimization of its treasury strategy and capital structure by integrating a diversified mix of Bitcoin-backed financial products, aiming to enhance balance sheet resilience while minimizing reliance on common equity issuance.

This approach will establish a new benchmark for responsible Bitcoin treasury management, institutional credibility, and long-term value creation.
