Satsuma Technology sold 579 BTC to secure liquidity for debt repayment before its planned uplisting to the London Stock Exchange main market.

Summary

Satsuma Technology (LSE: SATS), a U.K.-based company, sold 579 of its 1,199 Bitcoin, raising approximately £40 million ($53 million) in net proceeds. This sale leaves the company with 620 BTC and about £90 million in cash.

Concurrently, Satsuma announced significant board changes, proposing Ranald McGregor-Smith as Chair and Clive Carver as Senior Independent Director upon completion of the uplisting, aiming to strengthen governance. CEO Henry K. Elder stated the move positions the company for "stability and growth." Following the announcement, Satsuma's shares slightly increased, though they remain down nearly 30% over the past month.
