French Semiconductor maker Sequans to raise $200m to fund Bitcoin treasury

French Semiconductor maker Sequans to raise $200m to fund Bitcoin treasury

The post French Semiconductor maker Sequans to raise $200m to fund Bitcoin treasury appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. French Semiconductor manufacturer Sequans Communications is looking to raise $200 million via an at-the-market equity offering to commit towards Bitcoin treasury goals. Summary Sequans will raise $200 million and use the proceeds to add more Bitcoin. The company currently holds 3171 Bitcoins. Currently there are 174 publicly traded firms that are holding Bitcoin. Sequans has already filed a Form F-3 registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and is requesting the regulator to allow it to sell American Depositary Shares at its discretion. Proceeds from the program would directly fund the company’s Bitcoin purchases and other “general corporate purposes primarily associated with purchasing Bitcoin.” However, unlike a lump-sum funding round, the at-the-market (ATM) structure would allow the French chipmaker to optimize its investments by timing the purchases based on prevailing market conditions. “We intend to use it judiciously [..] to deliver long-term value to shareholders,” CEO Georges Karam said in an accompanying statement. If approved, Sequans would be able to add approximately 1,814 BTC to its treasury (based on current market prices of roughly $110,000), which would bring its total treasury holdings to roughly 5000 BTC. It currently holds 3171 BTC as of Aug. 26, 2025. That would also put Sequan’s within striking distance of its direct competitor Semler Scientific, which has taken a similar treasury-first approach in recent quarters. Despite the recent announcement, Sequans’ stocks closed the day down 6.8%, extending a multi-week downturn that began mid-July. Nevertheless, the timing of the fundraiser doesn’t seem random, as Bitcoin has pulled back from its all-time high of $124,517 set on August 14, and the dip has opened what many in the industry view as a brief accumulation window. Bitcoin treasury companies, such as Michael Saylor-led Strategy, are known to capitalize on such dips to reduce their average…
Altseason odds – What next after latest round of crypto liquidations?

Altseason odds – What next after latest round of crypto liquidations?

The post Altseason odds – What next after latest round of crypto liquidations? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Altcoin Open Interest hit $61.7 billion as the Altcoin Season Index hit 61 – Its first test since early 2025. And yet, fading rotational flows raised doubts about whether this breakout signals a lasting altseason or not.  In less than 72 hours, the crypto market shed nearly $20 billion, with Bitcoin [BTC] alone losing roughly $10 billion and showing that this cycle is still very much “BTC-led.” Backing this, Bitcoin dominance [BTC.D] slipped to multi-month lows at 57%, while TOTAL2 (ex-BTC cap) fell in tandem. All in all,  rotational flows remained flat, reinforcing a risk-off market. Altcoin OI surges despite muted flows Against that backdrop, Altcoin Futures Open Interest (OI) blew up +$9.2 billion on Friday, 22 August, taking the total alt OI (red line) to a fresh all-time high of $61.7 billion. This pointed to rising leverage in alts, despite short-term chop. Source: Glassnode Typically, spikes in OI tend to track Bitcoin’s price action. However, top altcoin OI (beige bars) has steadily climbed from $20 billion in March to $60 billion by late August, adding nearly $40 billion, outperforming BTC’s $30 billion OI growth over the same period. Put simply, the altcoin market might be overheated. Traders might be front-running an altseason, but with rotational flows muted, could this feed a volatility loop instead? Altcoin index breaks out, but history urges caution High leverage across alts amplified the pullback.  Supporting this, top altcoin Ethereum [ETH] saw a nearly 4% drop in OI over the past 24 hours, aligning with its 3% price decline. All while Bitcoin contained its drop to 2.68%. Having said that, top altcoins have endured deeper hits, initially triggered by BTC’s correction, but magnified as leverage got flushed out. This dragged the Altcoin Season Index down to 56 from 61 just a day prior.…
How to Be Fully Prepared for the Next Crypto Bull Run

How to Be Fully Prepared for the Next Crypto Bull Run

The post How to Be Fully Prepared for the Next Crypto Bull Run appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News From strategy to altcoin selection, here’s how to prepare for the next crypto bull run, including the cycle’s hidden wild card. Every four years, the crypto market enters a new cycle of volatility, hype, and wealth creation. The 2024 Bitcoin halving has already tightened supply, ETFs are funneling billions into digital assets, and retail interest is beginning to return. Analysts suggest the next major bull run could peak in late 2025 or early 2026. Being prepared means more than just holding Bitcoin, it requires a strategic portfolio, risk management, and awareness of emerging opportunities. While Bitcoin and Ethereum will anchor the market, analysts argue that the next cycle will also be defined by smaller altcoins, including disruptive names like MAGACOIN FINANCE, which could become the wild card of 2025–2026. Step one: strengthen your foundation Bitcoin (BTC) remains the bedrock of every cycle. Trading above $115,000 today, it has cemented its role as digital gold and a hedge against inflation. Institutional adoption via ETFs ensures steady demand, while its capped supply makes it uniquely scarce. Holding Bitcoin ensures exposure to the asset most likely to survive any downturns. Analysts forecast BTC could reach $150,000–$180,000 by 2026, offering steady growth but not exponential returns. Step two: diversify into strong altcoins Beyond BTC and ETH, diversification is key. Solana, Avalanche, and Cardano offer scalability and innovation, while projects like Render and Injective tap into growing AI and DeFi trends. These mid-cap and small-cap assets carry more risk but also deliver higher multiples when cycles peak. Historically, altcoin rotations have produced the biggest winners, with capital flowing from Bitcoin to Ethereum and then into smaller projects. This pattern is likely to repeat in 2025–2026. Every bull run has its breakout story. In 2017, it was Ethereum. In 2021, it was Dogecoin and…
