HONG KONG - Nano Labs Ltd (NASDAQ:NA), a prominent fabless integrated circuit design company in China with a market capitalization of $94.35 million, announced today its intention to invest $50 million in Bitcoin (BTC) over the coming five years. According to InvestingPro data, the company faces significant financial challenges with a weak health score of 1.45 out of 5, suggesting careful consideration of this substantial investment plan. This move reflects the company's belief in BTC's value as a long-term investment and its significance within the Web 3.0 framework.
The company, which has been actively enhancing its portfolio in the Web 3.0 domain with products like B series for BTC mining and V series for ETH mining, sees Bitcoin as central to the digital asset landscape. This strategic pivot comes as the company grapples with a 92.25% revenue decline and negative EBITDA of $16.14 million in the last twelve months. The acquisition of BTC is a part of Nano Labs' strategy to solidify its market presence and support the growth of the digital economy.
However, Nano Labs has indicated that the execution of this purchase plan is subject to various factors, including market trends, regulatory shifts, the company's financial health, and other business considerations. With a current ratio of 0.48, indicating potential liquidity challenges, the company's ability to execute this plan warrants close monitoring.

The company reserves the right to adjust, pause, or discontinue the plan without prior notice.
Nano Labs specializes in the development of high throughput computing (HTC) chips, high performance computing (HPC) chips, and distributed computing and storage solutions. It has also developed a comprehensive flow processing unit (FPU) architecture, integrating HTC and HPC features. Its Cuckoo series is among the first near-memory HTC chips in the market, according to a Frost & Sullivan industry report.
Investors are cautioned that this press release contains forward-looking statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These statements include the company's plans and expectations regarding the BTC purchase and are based on the current market conditions and the company's projections.
This announcement is based on a press release statement from Nano Labs, and it is intended to provide investors with information about the company's strategic direction regarding digital assets.
