CBI Allocates All Proceeds from Off-Market Share Block Sales Program to Purchase Bitcoins

22 Jul 2025 18:30 CEST

• At the end of June 2025, CBI and Ker Ventures launched a non-dilutive off-market share block sales program worth €20 million
• Transactions are carried out with a family office and qualified investors committed to a long-term approach
• All net proceeds from sales to date, totalling €3 million, have been allocated to CBI to acquire Bitcoins as part of its ACE strategy
• The portion of funds allocated to mining operations is initially used to acquire servers, with long-term remuneration in Bitcoins at a price significantly below market value

Paris, France - July 22, 2025 - 6:30 PM - Crypto Blockchain Industries (CBI, Euronext Growth Paris: ALCBI) announces that all net proceeds generated to date from its off-market share block sales program — totaling €3 million — have been made available to the company. These funds are being used to purchase Bitcoins. These operations fully align with CBI's ACE strategy – Acquire, Create, Earn – which aims to acquire Bitcoins at below-market prices.

CBI and its controlling shareholder Ker Ventures recall that the off-market share block sales program was launched at the end of June 2025. The program is designed to enable CBI to raise funds in a progressive, non-dilutive manner from a family office and qualified investors to finance strategic Bitcoin acquisition initiatives.

The company provides monthly updates on its positions in Bitcoins, servers, and other tokens created by CBI, which are intended to be sold or swapped for Bitcoins.

All net proceeds generated to date, totaling €3 million, are being used to acquire Bitcoins on the market and to finance mining operations. This results in progressive purchases of Bitcoin over time, helping to average the acquisition price.

All transactions with the family office and qualified investors are published under the Ker Ventures section in the ONDE system established by the AMF, with funds subsequently reallocated by Ker Ventures to CBI.

Part of the funds is also allocated to mining operations through the partnership announced in May 2025 with Blockware, a recognized player in mining infrastructure, due to the high profitability of these operations. As a reminder, funds allocated to mining are initially used to purchase mining servers rather than Bitcoins. Over the investment period, these mining operations allow CBI to acquire Bitcoins at significantly below-market prices.

The initial target of €20 million for the off-market share block sales program remains unchanged. The program is intended to be ramped up to increase CBI's exposure to Bitcoin. The company reserves the right to accelerate the pace of sales to seize market opportunities, whether through one-off purchases or enhanced mining capabilities.
