Paris (France), May 26, 2025 at 8:00 AM CET – Crypto Blockchain Industries (“CBI”) (Euronext Growth Paris: FR0014007LW0 – ALCBI) announces an extension of its strategic partnership with Blockware Solutions (“Blockware”), a globally recognized expert in Bitcoin mining. Under the revised agreement, Blockware may now increase its potential equity stake in CBI to up to 9.9%, compared to the initial 0.5% cap set when the partnership was signed on May 14, 2025.

Blockware agrees to be compensated in CBI shares in exchange for the sale of Bitmain ASIC mining rigs to CBI. Blockware will receive CBI shares progressively, as equipment is secured.

This option may be exercised by Blockware at any time over the 10-year duration of the agreement, depending on the pace of equipment deployment, thereby providing a flexible and gradual framework to support growth.

Blockware may now increase its potential equity stake in CBI to up to 9.9%, compared to the initial cap of 0.5%.

This contractual amendment underscores the mutual commitment to fast-tracking business growth under the partnership. CBI and Blockware share a common goal: to establish one of the largest fleets of Bitcoin mining servers within CBI, leveraging Blockware's technical and operational expertise to drive the initiative.

This hybrid model fosters strategic alignment and creates a virtuous dynamic for both parties.

Announced in May 2025, the partnership between CBI and Blockware centers on the phased rollout of Bitmain ASIC servers. The initial phase, valued at USD 10 million, is being financed by CBI as funds become available. In exchange, CBI receives the mined Bitcoins at a discounted rate compared to the market price, with daily transfers into a secure company-held wallet. As part of the agreement, Blockware is partly compensated with CBI shares and holds an option to increase its ownership stake to up to 9.9%, contingent on the business's future performance.

Disclaimer

The realization of CBI's projects, as well as their operating budget and financing plan, remain fundamentally subject to major uncertainties, and the failure to meet the underlying assumptions could have a significant and adverse impact on the value of CBI's assets and liabilities.

Furthermore, investing in crypto-assets involves risks, particularly due to their inherent volatility, which could impact CBI's financial performance. CBI considers it important to remind that past performance of crypto-assets is not indicative of future results.
