Summary · why it matters

French semiconductor company Sequans Communications announced on September 24 that it had sold its remaining 314 BTC, completing its exit from its bitcoin treasury strategy. The company at one point held 3,234 BTC. In June 2025 it announced a $384 million fundraising round and began accumulating BTC, but in November of that year it sold 970 BTC to redeem half of its convertible bonds, and in May 2026 it fully redeemed the remainder and declared the strategy over. CEO Georges Karam said that redeeming the convertible bonds and obtaining a very strong balance sheet allows the company to focus entirely on its semiconductor growth strategy, and that it will now refocus on its core cellular IoT and software-defined radio businesses. During this year's first-half downturn in the crypto market, many digital asset treasury companies abandoned or scaled back their accumulation strategies, and Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, noted in July that at least nine companies had fully liquidated or abandoned their strategies, with several others reducing their holdings.

Metaplanet sees US Bitcoin business opportunity in gaming adoption

Metaplanet's Bitcoin business in the United States is eyeing gamers as a new business opportunity, it has emerged. Matthew Edelman, CEO of the US gaming and advertising company Super League Enterprise, which Metaplanet plans to acquire, disclosed this in a letter to shareholders on October 6. In August, Metaplanet announced plans to bring Super League under its wing through a US subsidiary and turn it into a base for holding and managing Bitcoin in the United States. After the deal closes, the company will be renamed Superplanet, and Metaplanet will contribute 2,100 BTC. The transaction requires approval at a Super League shareholders meeting on October 16, among other conditions. Super League operates an advertising and marketing business connecting gaming consumers with companies, and after the acquisition it plans to continue its existing operations while running a new Bitcoin-holding business in parallel. CEO Edelman focused on the fact that gamers are accustomed to buying and selling digital assets such as in-game items and judging their value, and expressed the view that these traits represent a business opportunity to broaden awareness and ownership of Bitcoin. The company plans to leverage this expertise to support the spread of Bitcoin among gamers, and has also indicated it may in the future develop a proprietary program for companies to enter the Bitcoin economy. The details disclosed, however, remain at the concept stage, and no specific Bitcoin-related services for gamers or launch timing have been revealed.

Bitcoin Holds Firm Even With High Rates, as ETF and Corporate Spot Demand Signal Structural Shift

Crypto analysts told Nikkei that bitcoin purchases by ETFs and corporations are creating unprecedented structural spot demand. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose from the 4.7% range to the 5.2% range in September and currently sits at a high level around 5.3%, yet bitcoin, which generates no yield, actually rose. Since late August, inflows into U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs have stood out, with more than 1 billion dollars flowing in on September 21 alone; Strategy bought 334 BTC between October 1 and 4, Metaplanet bought 1,000 BTC in the July-to-September quarter, and Strive bought 2,000 BTC by the 2nd. According to CryptoQuant data, open interest, which swelled to about 29 billion dollars in late September, has since shrunk roughly 12% to about 25.5 billion dollars, while bitcoin has held in the mid-80,000 dollar range, indicating that spot supply and demand are improving as excess positions in the derivatives market are unwound. The unauthorized outflow from Bitget discovered on September 25 amounted to 380 million dollars in losses, but the spillover to the broader market was limited. Looking toward year-end, analysts see a projected range of 88,000 to 100,000 dollars, and say that if net inflows of more than 500 million dollars per week continue, the scenario of aiming for 100,000 dollars becomes more likely.

Metaplanet's Bitcoin income business revenue falls for third straight quarter

Metaplanet's Bitcoin income business revenue declined for a third consecutive quarter. Revenue for the business in the third quarter of 2026, covering July to September, came to 84.84 million yen, down about 51 percent from 174.73 million yen in the previous quarter, according to figures the company released on October 5. The business uses Bitcoin-related options to generate ongoing operating income and support the expansion of its Bitcoin holdings over the medium to long term. Quarterly revenue peaked at 424.18 million yen in the fourth quarter of 2025, then fell to 296.93 million yen in the first quarter of 2026, 174.73 million yen in the second quarter and 84.84 million yen in the third quarter, marking three straight quarters of decline. In its interim results released in August, the company said it shelved a third-party allotment of common shares in the second quarter because its mNAV stayed below 1 for an extended period. As a result, it said, the amount of funding raised fell short of initial expectations, and the collateral it could allocate to the Bitcoin income business did not expand as planned. The latest announcement gave no specific explanation for the revenue decline, saying only that while its full-year earnings forecast assumes progress in fundraising, the quantity of Bitcoin held, growth in BTC NAV and a corresponding expansion in the scale of operations for the Bitcoin income business, progress to date has fallen short of initial expectations.
