Personaly I think the hashtags are not very usefull. If you use them, use 1, max 2 of them.

I don't know the SEO value of the hashtags, but I know it's considered "A Twitter Thing", and a lot of FB users get ennoyed by the hashtags "If I wanted those, I'd go to Twitter".

I've never seen anyone actually searching something based on a hashtag. The results aren't too exciting, because FB has (ironicly) a more private climate, messages are not accessable to anyone.

There is minimal SEO value but they do help your audience find your content based on relevant hashtags for topics that people are interested in. Overdoing the hashtags however appears to result in less engagement so worth bearing in mind.
