Paris, France – June 27, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. CET – CRYPTO BLOCKCHAIN INDUSTRIES (CBI, Euronext Growth Paris: FR0014007LW0 - ALCBI) announces today the entry of private investors and a major family office into its share capital. Its main shareholder, Ker Ventures SARL, will sell the share blocks and lend the net proceeds to CBI in the form of non-dilutive shareholder loans, in order to actively support its Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

Several investors and family offices have expressed interest in acquiring blocks of CBI shares. To facilitate and expedite the transaction, Ker Ventures SARL will proceed with the sale of the relevant share blocks. The transfer price of each block is determined by reference to the V-WAP of the CBI share over the two previous days, reduced by a fixed discount.

The net proceeds from these share sales will be advanced to CBI by Ker Ventures via shareholder loans, as blocks are sold, up to a total financing line of €20 million. This loan will have a one-year term, with an annual interest rate of 8%.

The amounts received by CBI will be used to purchase Bitcoins, in line with its ACE strategy (Acquire, Create, Earn), which aims to increase exposure to crypto-assets through a combination of direct acquisitions, development of blockchain-based environments, and revenue from mining operations.

All relevant transactions will be reported via the ONDE platform in compliance with regulations and in full transparency with the market.
