Sequans dumps nearly a third of bitcoin holdings to pay down debt as BTC falls to four-month low
Nov 4, 2025, 11:55 GMT-52 min read
BTCUSDβ5.39%
Paris-based Sequans Communications (ticker SQNS) said Tuesday it redeemed half of its outstanding convertible debt by selling roughly 970 bitcoin. It was a move Sequans framed as βstrategic asset reallocationβ aimed at strengthening its balance sheet.
The sale trims Sequansβ bitcoin treasury from 3,234 BTC to 2,264 BTC, worth around $232 million at current prices, and lowers its debt-to-net-asset-value ratio from 55% to 39%. The proceeds were used to pay down $94.5 million of convertible debt issued in July when it started its bitcoin accumulation strategy.
According to Bitcoin Treasuries, the sale drops Sequans from No. 29 to No. 33 among publicly traded companies holding bitcoin.
Despite managementβs insistence that its βdeep conviction in bitcoin remains unchanged,β the sale makes Sequans the first publicly listed bitcoin treasury company to significantly offload its holdings. Onchain analysts flagged the transfer last week after a wallet linked to Sequans moved nearly 1,000 BTC to a Coinbase address.
βOur bitcoin treasury strategy remains unchanged,β CEO Georges Karam said in a statement. βThis transaction was a tactical decision aimed at unlocking shareholder value given current market conditions.β
Is there anyone who follows crypto currencies closely who has a good indicator of how much debt was issued in order to buy Bitcoin or other coins? For all the complaints about "fiat" ccy, the collateral for that debt is not very tangible... easy to see cascading liquidations result from a decline.

It wouldn't have taken much work to see Brendan Carr's massive hypocracy in regards to the BEAD program. He constantly complained about delays (ignoring the time for buying USA manufacturer components) and then promptly delayed the entire program at least 1 year or longer. A true π© IMO.

15 minute chart of $QQQ
Finally a tiny big of correction in $QQQ. Large gap down to start the day that lands in the middle of a prior gap. Will fear prevent people from buying the dip? Seems like at least one of the prior gap ups should fill, ideally both of them.

Meta is trash too. I'm in the middle of reading "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams and it gives some really good insight into the shitshow that is $META. It is not surprising Zuck enabled Trump to win in 2016 and have enabled him to this day.

daily chart of $JNK, the high yield bond index. It made higher highs on a lower RSI and is now rolling over.
Bitcoin is now below its 200 day MA. Well off the peak prices. Previously it dropped below the 200 day MA but recovered. That bounce was not sustained. Looking for further correction.
Watching $SPY and $QQQ remain at all time highs while $JNK and Bitcoin/Eth are rolling over. Weak internals are not showing up in the larger index values because of $NVDA, $AMZN and $PLTR but this is not a healthy rally IMO.

15 minute chart of $ASTS showing several open gaps that just filled.
A bit of celebration too soon with $ASTS and gap filling. On the good news side of things, the price just filled some very small earlier gaps that had been created. I do NOT believe the stc agreement is priced into the shares and this is a buying opportunity for me. π€my $QQQ puts will print soon.

I enjoy watching $PLTR as a proxy for overall market frothiness. Revenue and earnings really don't matter in terms of valuation once momentum kicks in. No positions at the moment but I'm looking for a better short entry post earnings report.

15 minute chart of $QQQ showing all the recent gaps highlighted.
At a certain point the $QQQ gap up opens are going to stop working. I see 6 gaps up and the recent ones are starting to close. I think we are going to see those earlier gaps from last week close. This week or next. My $QQQ $630 puts for mid Nov are certainly hoping for that.

COULD AST SPACEMOBILE BE THE LARGEST SUBSCRIPTION COMPANY IN THE WORLD?π€―
AST SpaceMobile has an unbelievable number of subscribers under DA/MoU that they will be able to covert to revenue once the BlueBirds are in the air.
Once the company has matured, there is a real possibility they could have over 1 billion subscribers π°
The magical thing about the business is this is only one of the potential revenue streams.
You also have
- Government
- Defense
- IoT
- First responder
- Fixed wireless
- Licencing
- Satellite manufacturing
The future is bright for $ASTS π

Could $ASTS be one of the largest subscription businesses in the world? Absolutely! Credit to NomadBets for the infographic. Looking forward to seeing more MOU's transition to definitive agreements with pre-payments. π

The Tesla excuse to not include LIDAR in their FSD solution (to save money) will look incredibly stupid when the next generation of sensors from companies like $AEVA are available. Much cheaper and can be integrated behind the windshield even. Safety demands multiple sensor types IMO.

For people who DONβT live in stable countries with stable currencies (USD, EUR, etc.) it offers a reasonable alternative vs holding local currency. Imagine living in Argentina for the last decade and trying to protect savings outside of a house or car. I donβt own it but I can see why others do.

I get that many investors want more risk taking, but levered single stock ETFs are a cancer on the industry, with naming that explicitly misleads everyday investors on the return profile of the product. And now 5x... smh

Even worse, the cost of electricity from those plants will inevitably be INSANELY high after all the cost overruns and project delays (if they actually finish the projects). The idiots are also using tariffs to raise the cost of PV modules that are the lowest cost and fastest source of electricity.

I'm not the most highly skilled technical trader but when I look at this chart of the S&P500 it seems inevitable that the open gap below is going to fill. Even if the market eventually wants to go higher, you gotta fill at least this gap first.

Karma is going to catch up with him in my opinion. The Tesla brand is toxic to so many and there are more viable choices in China, Europe and the US (but there should be way more except for GOP lunacy to kill EV incentives). Robotaxi is not ready anytime soon and Optimus is a joke.

It is fun to see such rapid industry development this year. There was so much TALK, TALK, TALK about what D2D was going to look like. Now the rubber is hitting the road as companies look to gain control of MSS spectrum. I have faith in the @ast-science.com team to stay focused on the π! $ASTS

$ASTS: π¨πΈπ¦ THROUGH SAUDI TELECOM, AST SPACEMOBILE WILL ACCESS 60MHZ OF 2GHZ S-BAND SPECTRUM FOR BROADBAND DIRECT-TO-DEVICE SERVICE IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA
In December 2022 Saudi Arabia's regulator CST auctioned 60MHz of 2GHz spectrum to be used for Non-Terrestrial Networks over 15 years through 2038
AST SpaceMobile's partner, Saudi Telecom, won ALL 60MHz of this spectrum which includes 2x 30MHz channels:
+ Uplink: 1980-2010MHz
+Downlink: 2170-2200MHz
This S-Band spectrum along with AST's Ligado L-Band spectrum will be utilized by the new Block-3 BlueBird satellites
Interestingly, this spectrum overlaps with Starlink's recently acquired Echostar AWS-4 US spectrum.
The game to amass spectrum continues...
For those of you paying attention to the battle for MSS please note that stc was ahead of the game by locking up 60Mhz of prime spectrum. $ASTS. Of course this will be deployed with their partner @ast-science.com and not with SpaceX. Spectrum moves to the platform that is most efficient. π°π³
