Moreover, the company’s BTC portfolio has also reduced from 3,234 BTC to 2,264 BTC. Sequans now ranks 33 on the world’s list of top institutional bitcoin holders. Meanwhile, this sell-off has raised concerns about whether the company still has plans to maintain a bitcoin reserve; hence, Georges Karam, CEO of Sequans, clarified,  “Our Bitcoin treasury strategy and our deep conviction in Bitcoin remain unchanged. This transaction was a tactical decision aimed at unlocking shareholder value given current market conditions. It strengthens our financial foundation and removes certain debt covenant constraints, enabling us to pursue a wider set of strategic initiatives to prudently develop and grow our treasury, with Bitcoin as a long-term strategic reserve asset.”  Strategy and Riot Boosts BTC Reserve Amid Sequans’ sell-off and the crypto market downtrend, which has brought BTC near the $100,000 mark, Strategy, the world’s first institutional BTC holder, has continued to display unwavering confidence in the apex coin.
