CEO Shalom Arik Maimon and Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Ofek Suchard Increase Their Personal Ownership Stakes Through Open-Market Acquisitions
Miami Beach, FL, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cuentas, Inc. OTCQB:CUEN (the “Company” or “Cuentas”), a technology-driven telecommunications and digital solutions company, today announced that members of its senior management are putting their own capital on the line, continuing to demonstrate strong confidence in the Company’s future through open-market purchases of Cuentas common stock.
As reported in Form 4 filings submitted with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Chief Executive Officer Shalom Arik Maimon and Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Ofek Suchard have each acquired additional shares of CUEN common stock through open-market purchases. The purchases underscore the executives’ conviction in Cuentas’ long-term strategy, accelerating growth initiatives, and relentless focus on creating shareholder value.
“Our decision to keep buying shares in the open market is a direct reflection of how excited we are about where Cuentas is headed,” said Shalom Arik Maimon, Chief Executive Officer of Cuentas. “The Company is entering a pivotal new phase of growth powered by innovation in telecommunications, digital services, artificial intelligence, and strategic partnerships. I am proud to invest right alongside our shareholders because I firmly believe in the value we are building.”
Mr. Maimon continued, “Every single share we purchase represents our personal conviction that Cuentas is positioned to execute on a bold vision and create meaningful long-term value for investors.”
Management believes that insider open-market purchases send a powerful signal of confidence in the Company’s strategic direction and future prospects. These acquisitions tighten the alignment between executive leadership and shareholders as Cuentas accelerates its telecommunications, digital services, and artificial intelligence initiatives.
The executives’ continued investment comes as Cuentas prepares for the upcoming launch of Bitcoin Mobile, a differentiated mobile offering that the Company believes is unlike anything currently available in the market. The launch comes amid a wave of leading fintech and consumer brands entering the wireless market through the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) model, most recently Cash App, which on June 11, 2026 unveiled , an unlimited 5G plan priced at $40 per month that runs on AT&T’s network and embeds mobile connectivity directly into its financial-services ecosystem. Cuentas believes these developments validate the strategy behind Bitcoin Mobile and the Company’s integrated approach to combining connectivity, digital services, and rewards.
“The entry of major players like Cash App into the mobile market validates exactly the strategy we have been building at Cuentas,” said Shalom Arik Maimon, Chief Executive Officer of Cuentas. “It confirms that the future of telecommunications is integrated, digital-first, and built around the consumer, and with the upcoming launch of Bitcoin Mobile, we intend to bring a uniquely differentiated offering to market.”
