€5 million raised from institutional investors to accelerate ACE's Bitcoin acquisition strategy

• Over $1.2 million has been allocated to Bitcoin mining, with a return on investment over three years exceeding 30%.

• $0.5 million has been allocated to investment in the NASDAQ-listed BNB Treasury Company CEA Industries (ticker: BNC), with an unrealized profit of 140%.

• The balance is being gradually allocated to the acquisition of Bitcoins to take advantage of market opportunities and the recent decline in $BTC.

• This off-market block disposal program has now been halted to prioritize non-dilutive borrowing and direct exchanges of shares for Bitcoins.

Paris, France, August 28, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. CET (CBI, Euronext Growth Paris: FR0014007LWO - ALCBI) – CRYPTO BLOCKCHAIN INDUSTRIES (“CBI”) announces that it has invested USD 0.5 million in CEA Industries, the treasury company that invests in the BNB token, with an unrealized profit of 140%. More than USD 1.2 million has been spent on Bitcoin mining, with a projected return on investment over three years of more than 30%. The balance of the funds is being gradually deployed in the acquisition of Bitcoins in order to take advantage of market opportunities and the recent decline in $BTC. This off-market block sale program has now been halted to prioritize non-dilutive borrowing and direct exchanges of shares for Bitcoins.

On June 27, 2025, CBI announced the entry of institutional investors. Under this program, the main shareholder Ker Ventures SARL sells blocks of shares and pays the net proceeds to CBI in the form of non-dilutive current account advances to actively support the Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

This program generated more than €5 million during the summer of 2025.

A sum of USD 0.5 million from these disposals was allocated to investment in CEA Industries, a company listed on NASDAQ (ticker: BNC). This company invests in the BNB token (the native token of the BNB Chain). Based on the closing price on August 26, 2025, CBI has realized an unrealized gain of 140% on this investment, illustrating the relevance of this allocation.

At the same time, more than $1.2 million has been deployed to strengthen the Bitcoin mining infrastructure through the acquisition of state-of-the-art servers under a 10-year contract with Blockware Solutions. This investment supports the Group's operational capacity and offers solid return visibility, with a projected 3-year return on investment of over 30%, based on current Bitcoin prices.

The balance of proceeds from share repurchases is gradually allocated to the acquisition of Bitcoins, considering market conditions, and particularly the recent correction in the price of $BTC. This gradual approach aims to optimize the average acquisition price and maximize long-term value creation potential.

This off-market block sale program has now been halted in order to prioritize non-dilutive borrowings and direct share-for-Bitcoin exchanges. The various blocks sold by Ker Ventures have been published on the ONDE website of the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF), with the funds being reallocated to CBI in accordance with the terms of the block sale program.
