Building the future, with excellence as the only standard. Today, CUBO_ai students took on their final exam, Hackathon: The Game Studio; where each of them put everything they've learned over these past months to the test. Working solo and without shortcuts, they built their own video games with AI, taking every project from a first idea to a playable prototype ready for its final demo. Tomorrow, each student will present their game, so see you tomorrow!
Today wasn't just another class at CUBO_ai. 🎮 It was the final exam. No teams, no shortcuts, no copy-paste. Just each student, a laptop and one mission: build a video game with AI. Welcome to Hackathon: The Game Studio. 🧵👇

Rest in peace, @JohnNosta Thank you for your kind words about the transformation of El Salvador. I see from the many online comments that you are already missed.
A clip from our Space earlier today. John Nosta, author, Innovation Theorist and founder of NostaLab, highlights the 'cognitive transformation' of El Salvador. QUESTION: What is your perspective on El Salvador’s approach to AI adoption? ANSWER: In a word. Fearless.

Every crisis is an opportunity, but most people either ignore it or fight it. Today at CUBO+, Bitcoin journalist and podcaster Efrat Fenigson shared how she turned breakdown after breakdown into a breakthrough, and here's what our students took away 🧵

🇸🇻🤖 The opening words of my opening remarks this morning: "Today, we are announcing a milestone for El Salvador: in November, MIT Technology Review will bring EmTech AI LATAM right here to San Salvador. For decades, the global tech conversation was hosted elsewhere - in Silicon Valley, Boston, or London. But today, the world’s leading minds in artificial intelligence are also choosing El Salvador. This did not happen by accident. This happened by design. When President Nayib Bukele set out to transform El Salvador, he laid out a clear, bold vision: to build a nation anchored in freedom, innovation, and economic sovereignty. He didn't just want us to catch up to the rest of the world - he aimed for us to lead it. We eliminated income tax on technology investments, built forward-looking regulatory frameworks, and invested heavily in sovereign compute, infrastructure, and tech education for our youth. We set out to turn El Salvador into a true global tech hub and AI pioneer. And foundational to all of this was restoring something essential: security. A few short years ago, hosting a prestigious global summit like EmTech AI LATAM in San Salvador would have been unthinkable. In fact, it would have been impossible. Today, however, the world’s premier technological and academic institutions are able to gather in our capital."
🇸🇻 El Salvador se prepara para ser sede de EmTech AI de MIT Technology Review, un espacio que, de la mano de @theaiagencysv y @esenelsalvador , nos conecta con las conversaciones globales sobre inteligencia artificial, innovación y transformación digital. Desde la @AsambleaSV acompañamos esta transformación impulsando marcos jurídicos para la innovación, la seguridad digital y el desarrollo tecnológico. Seguimos sumando esfuerzos para fortalecer el ecosistema tecnológico y de innovación de El Salvador.

Sequans (SQNS) and Swan Announce Strategic Bitcoin Treasury Management Agreement Paris, France and Calabasas, CA USA – July 24, 2025 – – Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS), a leading provider of cellular IoT semiconductors, and Swan Bitcoin, a premier Bitcoin wealth platform and institutional services provider, are pleased to announce the signing of a strategic Bitcoin Treasury Management Agreement. Under this agreement, Swan will advise and help implement Sequans’ newly adopted Bitcoin treasury strategy, according to the plan first publicized on June 23. Sequans, a leader in 5G and 4G chipsets and modules for IoT, is marking a bold shift in capital allocation by adopting Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset. As part of this strategic transformation, Swan’s executive team – CEO Cory Klippsten, CIO Ben Werkman, and CTO Yan Pritzker – will provide formal advisory support on all aspects of treasury implementation and strategy execution. To launch its Bitcoin Treasury Strategy, Sequans recently closed of a $384 million strategic investment through a private placement of convertible debt and equity. The company plans to accumulate over 3,000 BTC using the net proceeds from this initial investment. Execution of the strategy is already underway, with three major Bitcoin acquisitions completed: 370 BTC, 683 BTC, and 1,264 BTC, respectively. As of July 18th, these purchases bring Sequans’ total Bitcoin holdings to 2,317 BTC, positioning it as the 21st largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin treasury globally, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net. Sequans holds more Bitcoin than all of the “Mag7” tech giants combined and surpasses the Bitcoin reserves of 188 countries, underscoring how visionary companies can outpace even the largest corporations and nations. “Sequans is establishing itself as an innovator in corporate finance by adopting a Bitcoin treasury strategy,” said Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan Bitcoin. “With a strong balance sheet and clear vision for the future, Sequans is poised to lead among Bitcoin Treasury Companies. Our mission is to help Sequans execute this strategy with speed, integrity, and excellence.” Swan will provide end-to-end strategic advisory services, including treasury design, capital markets guidance, custody architecture, analytics, and ongoing treasury management. Sequans will leverage Swan’s deep expertise and network to ensure secure execution, robust governance, and market transparency. “Sequans is embracing the future of capital by adopting Bitcoin as the foundation of our corporate treasury,” said Dr. Georges Karam, CEO of Sequans. “We believe Bitcoin is the world’s most pristine reserve asset. With the support of Swan’s world-class team, Sequans is well-positioned to lead in this new era. Our goal is to maximize Bitcoin per share and deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”
