The FY2025 20-F confirms the company is in a distressed transition, winding down its Bitcoin strategy while trying to grow core IoT chip revenue. Monitor the June 1, 2026 deadline for full debenture redemption — failure would trigger an event of default. The going concern qualification and material internal control weaknesses increase risk of further equity dilution or restructuring. Product revenue growth of 29% is a positive signal, but the 59% decline in high-margin license revenue and Bitcoin-related losses dominate the narrative.

Executive Summary
Sequans Communications filed its FY2025 20-F, reporting a net loss of $109.3 million driven by $67.4 million in Bitcoin impairment charges and $6.1 million in realized Bitcoin sale losses. Revenue fell 29% YoY to $26.3 million as license revenue from the 2024 Qualcomm transaction declined. The company is actively winding down its Bitcoin treasury strategy, having sold 700 Bitcoin through April 2026 to redeem $50.8M of convertible debt, with plans to fully redeem the remaining $43.7M by June 1, 2026. The auditor's report includes a going concern qualification due to recurring losses and negative working capital of $69.5M.
