• Commissioning on May 20, 2025 of CBI's very first Bitmain ASIC servers, enabling Bitcoin to be acquired at a price below market value
• Deployment carried out by Blockware, a global leader in Bitcoin mining, as part of its 10-year strategic partnership with CBI

Paris (France), May 21, 2025 at 8:00 AM CET – Crypto Blockchain Industries (“CBI”) (Euronext Growth Paris: FR0014007LW0 – ALCBI) announces the official launch of its Bitcoin ($BTC) mining operations with the commissioning of its very first Bitmain ASIC servers, as part of its 10-year strategic partnership with Blockware Solutions (“Blockware”), one of the world's leading Bitcoin miners and a specialist in blockchain infrastructure.

The very first next-generation Bitmain ASIC servers have been operational since May 20, 2025, deployed by Blockware in high-performance data centers. These servers allow for the processing and validation of Bitcoin network transactions with optimized energy efficiency.

CBI is compensated in Bitcoin as transactions are processed on the Bitcoin network, enabling the company to acquire $BTC at a cost lower than the market price. The mined Bitcoins are transferred to a secure wallet held and controlled by CBI.

This deployment is part of the 10-year partnership signed in May 2025 between CBI and Blockware. The agreement provides for the progressive deployment by Blockware of Bitmain ASIC servers on behalf of CBI, with an initial tranche valued at USD 10 million, subject to CBI securing the required financing.

Under this first $10 million tranche, Blockware will receive shares representing 0.5% of CBI's share capital. The structure of the agreement also grants Blockware a reinvestment option, allowing it to increase its stake based on the growth of operations over the duration of the partnership.

The operational results from the mining activity will be disclosed in a dedicated update once the initial operating cycles have been completed.

Disclaimer

The realization of CBI's projects, as well as their operating budget and financing plan, remain fundamentally subject to major uncertainties, and the failure to meet the underlying assumptions could have a significant and adverse impact on the value of CBI's assets and liabilities.

Furthermore, investing in crypto-assets involves risks, particularly due to their inherent volatility, which could impact CBI's financial performance. CBI considers it important to remind that past performance of crypto-assets is not indicative of future results.

A detailed description of the risks associated with investing in CBI securities can be found in the company's financial reports available on CBI's website.
