Jiuzi Holdings Receives $60M Capital Injection from Crypto Investors

- This capital injection follows a more ambitious announcement in September 2025, where Jiuzi's board authorized the company to invest up to $1 billion of its cash reserves into cryptocurrencies. The initial focus of this broader crypto treasury strategy was on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and BNB. - The company's Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy is designed for long-term value appreciation and to provide resilience against economic cycles through systematic asset allocation and dynamic risk controls. This latest funding is intended to accelerate the scaled implementation of this strategy, focusing on expanding the treasury's scale, integrating multiple blockchain networks, and improving liquidity access. - Concurrent with its treasury strategy, Jiuzi is actively engaging in DeFi yield generation. The company has a strategic partnership with the SOLV Foundation, a DeFi platform, to deploy up to 10,000 BTC into SOLV's yield-bearing vaults on the BNB Chain, which integrate with protocols like Venus, Lista, and Pendle. - The investors in the $60 million round are described as institutional capital providers with expertise in crypto treasury construction, digital asset risk management, and on-chain value discovery. The investment was initially planned to be $40 million but was increased to $60 million in under two weeks. - The deal is structured as a private placement where the payment for the 40 million ordinary shares can be made in either traditional fiat currency or cryptocurrencies. - Following the announcement of the $60 million capital injection, Jiuzi Holdings' stock (JZXN) saw a positive market reaction, gaining over 5% in the subsequent trading session. - This strategic shift into digital assets comes from a company originally focused on franchising and operating retail stores for new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China. - To oversee its crypto treasury initiatives, Jiuzi has appointed Dr. Doug Buerger, an industry veteran with experience in both blockchain and artificial intelligence, as its Chief Operating Officer and established a Crypto Asset Risk Committee led by its CFO, Huijie Gao.
