The company aims to raise approximately $195 million from equity issues and $189 million from convertible debentures, which can later be transformed into shares. Sequans has joined forces with Swan Bitcoin, a renowned BTC treasury management provider, for this initiative.

Georges Karam, CEO of Sequans, stated, “Our bitcoin treasury strategy reveals our unwavering faith in Bitcoin as an elite asset and a viable long-term investment.”

Sequans is the latest entrant in the growing list of companies that are adding Bitcoin to their treasury. Over the weekend, Nakamoto Holdings raised fresh capital of $51.5 million to boost its Bitcoin reserves. Metaplanet, on Monday, announced the addition of 1,111 BTC to its treasury, which brought its total holdings close to Tesla’s.

Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream and an early cypherpunk, pointed out that companies forming Bitcoin treasuries are heralding a new type of alt-season. “Time to switch from ALTs to BTC or BTC treasuries,” he suggested.

As per BitcoinTreasuries.NET, as of this Monday, roughly 240 companies have BTC on their balance sheets. This figure marks an almost 100% increase from just a few weeks ago. These companies together control about 4% of the total Bitcoin supply.

However, the corporate BTC treasury strategy is not without its risks. Major corporations like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft have refrained from adding Bitcoin to their treasuries, citing concerns about the cryptocurrency’s high volatility and regulatory uncertainty. Allocating funds to Bitcoin could lead to significant market speculation, which is a concern for shareholders as corporate treasuries are typically used to preserve capital.

Despite these concerns, Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. The company currently holds 592,345 Bitcoin, estimated to be worth around $60.2 billion.

“The level of investor interest in Nakamoto Holdings is unprecedented,” commented Bailey. “Our primary objective is to gather as much capital as possible to intensify our Bitcoin acquisition.”

This recent funding round increases KindlyMD’s total funding to $563 million. With the inclusion of convertible notes, the merged entity now controls a staggering $763 million in capital. This positions Nakamoto Holdings for a bold Bitcoin purchasing spree.

With its mission to compete with industry heavyweights like MicroStrategy and Europe’s Blockchain Group, Nakamoto Holdings will primarily utilize the new funds for Bitcoin purchases, with the remaining amount supporting business operations. This strategy aligns with Nakamoto’s upcoming merger with Nasdaq-listed KindlyMD, due to finalize in Q3 2025.

Following last month’s shareholder approval, the merger of KindlyMD and Nakamoto will give birth to a financial entity dedicated to Bitcoin. This will facilitate the growth of Bitcoin-centric businesses through equity, debt instruments, and strategic investments.

Despite the optimistic outlook, some analysts express caution. Fakhul Miah of GoMining Institutional warns that smaller firms may not have sufficient risk protections in fluctuating markets. Standard Chartered also notes potential liquidation risks if Bitcoin’s value falls below $90,000, potentially impacting market sentiment and investor trust.

Nakamoto Holdings is making strides in its quest to become a Bitcoin treasury powerhouse, fueled by strong leadership and rapid capital inflow. Only time will tell if this aggressive strategy can weather market volatility. However, for now, investor interest is sky high.
