• Following the review of its ACE (Acquire/Create/Earn) strategy announced on February 24, 2026, CBI confirms the priority given to Bitcoin mining and is working on making the first investments in servers dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (Acquire/Earn)
• The review also concluded that CBI will actively seek partners for the Create activities, to operate the emoji™ Marble Dash project, AlphaVerse and Football at AlphaVerse, with development paused in the meantime and depreciation of assets
• Financial resources of the Create activities will be reallocated to mining and Artificial Intelligence

Paris, France - March 25, 2026 - 8:00 AM CET (CBI, Euronext Growth Paris: FR0014007LW0 - ALCBI; OTCQB: CBIPF) - Crypto Blockchain Industries (CBI) announces the conclusions of the review of its ACE (Acquire, Create, Earn) strategy announced in the press release of February 24, 2026. This analysis confirms the direction already announced and specifies the decisions taken for each of the projects in the portfolio, namely the prioritization of investments in Bitcoin mining and servers dedicated to artificial intelligence (Acquire/Earn), and the search for partners for Create projects with a pause in development in the meantime and a depreciation of assets. The financial resources of the Create activities will be reallocated to mining and Artificial Intelligence.

Confirmation of prioritization of Bitcoin holding and mining and dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) servers

Following the in-depth analysis conducted since February 24, 2026, CBI confirms that the Acquire/Earn components of its ACE strategy are the main driver of value creation. Holding (Acquire) and mining Bitcoin (Earn), mined as part of the strategic partnership with Blockware Solutions, is a priority. CBI keeps the Bitcoin mined for the long term (hodl) while reserving the possibility of intervening in the markets and maintains the objective of developing its mining capabilities and raising up to €2M to start the investment program dedicated to artificial intelligence.

Search for partners, restructuring of the "Create" activities and reallocation of financial resources to mining and Artificial Intelligence in the meantime

CBI is actively seeking one or more partners who can join the operations related to its digital asset creation projects, namely emoji™ Marble Dash, AlphaVerse and Football at AlphaVerse, and participate in future development and operations. In the meantime, the development of these projects is being paused and can be resumed at any time, in order to focus CBI's resources on Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure. This pause is accompanied by the departure of the staff dedicated to these projects, unless a new partner is found.

The financial resources of the Create activities will be reallocated to mining and Artificial Intelligence.

Accounting implications in the consolidated financial statements

The accounting consequences of these decisions have already been largely anticipated with the financial statements as at September 30, 2025, in which impairments had already been recorded. As of March 31, 2026, the balance of the assets and restructuring costs, €5.4 million, will be depreciated as follows: €4.3 million for licenses and services paid in $FAV tokens created by CBI; €0.5 million for capitalized development costs; €0.5 million for football club licenses; and €0.1 million for restructuring costs. These provisions will be kept as long as the "Create" development operations remain on hold and may be reduced in the future in the event of a resumption of these operations.

Disclaimers

The implementation of CBI projects, as well as their operational budget and financing plan, remain fundamentally subject to significant uncertainties. Failure to meet the underlying assumptions could have a material and negative impact on the value of CBI's assets and liabilities. In addition, investing in crypto-assets carries risks related in particular to their intrinsic volatility, which can affect the financial performance of CBI. CBI reminds investors that the past performance of crypto-assets is not a guarantee of their future performance. A detailed description of the risks associated with an investment in CBI's securities is available in the Company's financial reports on its website.
