Paris, France – August 1, 2025 – 8:00 AM CET – Crypto Blockchain Industries (Euronext Growth Paris: ALCBI) announces the signing with an effective date as of the date hereof of a strategic agreement with exchange platform SAFEbit, enabling CBI to acquire up to 2,000 Bitcoins held by SAFEbit in exchange for CBI shares.

SAFEbit, a leading digital asset exchange platform, holds over 2,000 Bitcoins and plans to gradually trade them for CBI shares.

Each day, Ker Ventures and CBI will have the option to exchange CBI shares for Bitcoins, up to a total of 2,000 Bitcoins, representing a program that may ultimately exceed €200 million.

This agreement offers CBI a unique opportunity to acquire a significant stock of existing Bitcoins without cash outflow.

This operation is fully aligned with CBI's ACE strategy:

• Acquire: Securing a strategic stock of Bitcoins at an optimized cost
• Create: Structuring an innovative agreement based on the exchange of existing shares
• Earn: Enhancing the value of CBI's digital asset portfolio and creating long-term value potential

ABOUT SAFEbit

Founded in 2018, SAFEbit pioneered the Turkish crypto market as the country's first cryptocurrency exchange with integrated blockchain infrastructure. In a short span of time, Bitci evolved into not just a trading platform, but a technology brand recognized for its high-profile global partnerships. Strategic collaborations with world-renowned sports organizations—such as the McLaren Formula 1 Team, MotoGP, FIBA, the national football teams of Spain and Brazil, and the Turkish National Basketball Team—positioned Bitci as a trailblazer in the fan token space and blockchain-powered sponsorships. With its proprietary blockchain and token projects reaching millions of users, Bitci quickly established itself as a regional force in the digital asset landscape.

By 2025, aiming to carry this legacy into a more transparent, secure, and sustainable future, Bitci underwent a strategic transformation and rebranded as SAFEbit. The new platform reflects a next-generation approach to crypto finance—aligned with global licensing standards, compliant listing policies, Fireblocks-supported custody infrastructure, and enhanced KYC and AML protocols that prioritize user security. At the same time, SAFEbit empowers investors through Launchpad and Launchpool offerings, while delivering comprehensive OTC services for institutional users, effectively evolving into a full-spectrum digital financial platform.

Rooted in the strength of its past and focused on the future, SAFEbit is more than a rebrand—it's the foundation of a new crypto economy extending from Turkey to the world. With a vision of leadership in the crypto ecosystem, SAFEbit is committed to delivering a secure, fast, and accessible digital platform experience for the next generation of investors.
