Sequans Communications completed full redemption of its July 2025 convertible debt using proceeds from selling Bitcoin down to 658 BTC. The redemption eliminated the remaining debt entirely and reduced the debt-to-NAV ratio to near zero. The 658 BTC remaining on the balance sheet are unrestricted and unencumbered. The company confirmed it is stepping away from its digital asset treasury strategy and will monetize the remaining bitcoin holdings over time. The pivot is framed as strengthening the balance sheet and simplifying the capital structure while focusing on scaling its IoT semiconductor business. Priorities include 4G LTE-M and Cat-1bis chipsets, a 5G eRedCap roadmap, and new RF transceiver products for defense and drone applications.
"Sequans Communications completed full redemption of its July 2025 convertible debt, funded by selling Bitcoin down to 658 BTC. The move drops Sequans' debt-to-NAV ratio to near zero, pivoting the IoT chipmaker away from its DAT strategy entirely. CEO Georges Karam signals Sequans will monetize remaining 658 BTC over time while targeting 5G eRedCap growth. The company confirmed the transaction Thursday. Sequans had already drawn criticism in November 2025 when it first sold 970 BTC to redeem 50% of that same debt, reducing its bitcoin holdings from 3,234 BTC to 2,264 BTC at the time."
"Thursday's announcement eliminates the remaining debt entirely. All 658 BTC now on the balance sheet are unrestricted and unencumbered, the company disclosed. Sequans also confirmed it is stepping away from its DAT strategy. The firm explained it will monetize the remaining bitcoin holdings over time, ending what had been one of the earlier experiments in bitcoin-centric treasury management among publicly traded technology companies. CEO Georges Karam framed the decision as a pivot toward execution."
"We have strengthened our balance sheet, simplified our capital structure, and are now fully focused on scaling our IoT semiconductor business, Karam remarked. He cited the firm's 4G LTE-M and Cat-1bis chipsets, its 5G eRedCap roadmap, and new RF transceiver products for defense and drone applications as the priorities going forward. Sequans' original bitcoin treasury strategy was built on accumulating BTC through operations and financing, positioning reserves as a long-term store of value (SoV)."
"That approach, inspired by Strategy, attracted attention as more public companies followed a similar playbook in 2024 and 2025. Sequans was among the ea"
