Jiuzi Holdings Secures $60M Crypto Investment
Jiuzi Holdings, Inc. announced a definitive agreement for a $60 million capital injection from multiple strategic crypto investment institutions. The investors will purchase 40 million ordinary shares at $1.50 per share. The company stated the funding will help its Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy enter a scaled implementation phase.
- The Hangzhou-based company, originally focused on franchising and operating retail stores for new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China, has pivoted its corporate treasury strategy to include up to $1 billion in crypto assets. This shift is designed to hedge against macroeconomic uncertainties and enhance long-term shareholder value. - The "scaled implementation phase" of the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy involves more than just holding assets; it includes multi-chain integration, accessing global liquidity networks for efficient trading, and establishing a robust governance framework for digital asset management. - This recent capital injection follows several strategic moves, including a partnership with the SOLV Foundation, a Bitcoin finance platform, to deploy up to $1 billion into Bitcoin staking and yield products. - The investors are described as institutional capital providers with expertise in crypto treasury construction, digital asset risk management, and on-chain value discovery. The investment was notably paid in equivalent crypto assets, not fiat currency, directly boosting the company's digital reserves. - In December 2025, Jiuzi Holdings executed a 1-for-40 reverse stock split. This action was taken to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share, a common move for companies facing delisting pressure. - This aggressive move into digital assets comes against a backdrop of a challenging crypto market in early 2026, with overall market capitalization down and sentiment leaning towards "extreme fear." However, some analysts remain positive for the year, expecting institutionally-led growth.
