Sequans Communications, a publicly traded semiconductor company, said today it had redeemed 50% of its convertible debt using Bitcoin assets from its treasury holdings.

The company sold 970 BTC to repay $94.5M of debt, lowering the Debt-to-NAV ratio from 55% to 39%.

The approach allows companies to address debt obligations while maintaining exposure to their digital asset holdings.

Public companies with Bitcoin treasuries are exploring debt redemption tactics to maintain long-term holdings while addressing short-term financial needs. Semiconductor firms like Sequans are positioning Bitcoin as a core treasury asset to improve balance sheet resilience in volatile markets.

The move reflects broader adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic treasury reserve among public companies seeking to leverage market opportunities while managing traditional financial obligations.
