Next Bitcoin Reserve Launched: Sequans Invests 384 Million
With Sequans, the next company is launching its own Bitcoin reserve – the French company announced this yesterday in a press release. Through an ambitious investment plan, the semiconductor manufacturer wants to become one of the largest Bitcoin investors on earth.
Over the next five years, Sequans wants to invest in 100,000 Bitcoin. According to the current status, the company would be the second largest Bitcoin investor among all listed companies in the world. Only Strategy, with around 629,000 BTC, already exceeds this value today.
The first 384 million US dollars have already been invested. With this capital, 3,171 BTC were acquired, it was announced. According to today’s figures, 11.9 billion US dollars would have to be invested to reach the target of 100,000 BTC.
“Sequans launched its Bitcoin treasury strategy on July 8, 2025 with a strategic investment of $384 million through a private placement of convertible bonds and shares. As of August 8, 2025, the company holds 3,171 BTC.”
This puts the French producer directly in 22nd place among all listed Bitcoin investors. Sequans explains that it has thus laid a “strong foundation”.
That’s why more and more Large Companies are Investing in Bitcoin
With its Bitcoin reserve, Sequans is joining a growing international trend. The US software developer Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which has been investing in BTC since 2020, is regarded as a pioneer in corporate crypto investments.
In September 2021, El Salvador finally became the first country in the world to launch a high-profile Bitcoin reserve. It was only years later that it came to light that Bhutan had probably been collecting Bitcoin since 2019.
Why are large investors investing more and more often in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies? The concept is always the same. Because cryptocurrencies function independently of fiat money, they are considered a good protection against the rapid inflation of fiat currencies.
In addition, crypto has been growing for years. So far, there is no end in sight. Investors can therefore still profit massively if they get in early enough. After all, the market value of Bitcoin is constantly rising. Sequans also recognizes this development.
“This strategic commitment reflects our deep conviction that Bitcoin is a fundamental asset for institutional financial stability and long-term value creation”, the press release says.
Listed companies are relying on crypto reserves to attract new investors. Companies that act as Bitcoin proxy investments on the stock market often experience immense inflows. The share price rises as a result. This aspect seems to play a decisive role for Sequans.
“Our next goal is to scale this approach to maximize Bitcoin value per share and provide shareholders with sustainable value through disciplined and responsible accumulation, with the goal of acquiring 100,000 BTC by 2030.”
This concept is popular among companies whose core business is threatened and who want to secure their long-term survival by means of Bitcoin. Sequans has also recorded declining figures over the last few years.
