CET (CBI – Euronext Growth Paris: FR0014007LW0 – ALCBI; OTCQB: CBIPF) – CRYPTO BLOCKCHAIN INDUSTRIES (“CBI”) announces that it has been granted an option to purchase up to $10 million in convertible notes issued by Blockware Solutions, offering a 10% discount on the price of Blockware potential future initial public offering (“IPO”). A first tranche of USD 1,000,000 has already been raised and paid in CBI shares, which are only transferable on the OTCQB market up to a limit of 10% of the daily volume. CBI and Blockware aim to grow CBI’s U.S. shareholder base, in which case CBI will exercise a phased share of the call option and increase its equity stake in Blockware.
Blockware is a recognized player in the blockchain infrastructure and cryptocurrency mining industry. The company stands out for its ability to operate large-scale installations, provide state-of-the-art hosting services, and develop innovative technology solutions, making it a natural partner for CBI.
CBI’s mining activities recorded a return on investment of more than 40% in August 2025 thanks to this partnership.
CBI has the option to acquire up to $10 million of convertible notes issued by Blockware. The convertible notes issued by Blockware have a maturity of two years and bear an interest rate of 5% per annum. They offer a 10% discount on the price of a potential future IPO and, if this IPO does not take place before maturity, the convertible notes are redeemed in cash. They also benefit from a liquidation preference in the event of an asset distribution or bankruptcy.
This transaction paves the way for a strategic partnership to strengthen CBI’s presence in the U.S. market and gradually increase its stake in Blockware.
A first tranche of USD 1,000,000 has already been raised by CBI and paid for in shares, which can only be resold on the OTCQB market up to a limit of 10% of the trading volume.
CBI and Blockware aim to develop the size and visibility of CBI’s American shareholding, based in particular on the listing of the share on the OTCQB market, which is a privileged gateway for institutional and individual investors in the United States. The gradual increase in liquidity and trading volume in this market will broaden the investor base and strengthen CBI’s reputation. CBI plans to gradually exercise its option to purchase convertible notes, within the limit of 10% of the trading volume of the OTCQB market.
This mechanism is part of CBI’s ACE (Acquire, Create, Earn) strategy, strengthening its ability to seize international growth opportunities and helping to position CBI as a leading player in the blockchain ecosystem, while maximizing its exposure to the US market.
For the period ending September 30, 2025, CBI has invoiced consulting fees to Blockware solutions for an amount of $1 million, paid through the remittance by Blockware of a convertible note for that amount.
