Sequans Halves Bitcoin Treasury as Q1 Revenue Slides and Losses Deepen
The sale reflects pressure from convertible notes due June 1 that are secured by most of the remaining coins.
Overview
- Sequans, which reported results Tuesday, said it sold 1,025 Bitcoin in the first quarter of 2026, cutting its holdings to 1,114 BTC by April 30.
- Management said it used the cash to redeem parts of its convertible debt and to buy back American Depositary Shares, a move aimed at easing balance-sheet strain.
- Of the remaining coins, 817 BTC are pledged as collateral for $35.9 million in notes that mature June 1, 2026, which means those coins stay locked until the debt is redeemed.
- Quarterly revenue fell 24.8% to $6.1 million and the operating loss widened to $50.5 million, including $29.3 million in impairment charges on holdings and $11.7 million in realized losses from sales.
- The company had started buying Bitcoin in 2025 with a 3,000 BTC goal but also sold about 970 BTC in November 2025 to pay down debt, and its shares have since dropped sharply as investors reassess the strategy.
