- Jiuzi commits up to $1B and 10,000 BTC to SOLV’s DeFi yield platform.
- The partnership aims to bridge TradFi compliance with DeFi bitcoin finance.
- JZXN shares jumped more than 17% after the strategic announcement.
Jiuzi Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: JZXN) announced a major bitcoin finance initiative worth up to $1 billion through a strategic partnership with the SOLV Foundation, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that oversees more than $2.8 billion in locked value.
With this move, Jiuzi positions itself among the few Nasdaq-listed companies actively bridging traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi by developing bitcoin products designed to deliver compliance-first yield for institutional investors.
Commitment of 10,000 BTC to SOLV’s flagship SolvBTC.BNB vault
Under the partnership, Jiuzi will allocate up to $1 billion from its digital asset program toward bitcoin staking and yield-focused blockchain products.
At the center of the strategy is a commitment of up to 10,000 bitcoins to SOLV’s flagship SolvBTC.BNB vault on the BNB Chain, one of the largest bitcoin yield platforms in the ecosystem.
Assets will be safeguarded by regulated third-party custodians and verified through Chainlink’s proof-of-reserves auditing system, ensuring transparency and institutional-grade security.
This marks a significant milestone for Jiuzi Holdings, best known in China for its new energy vehicle infrastructure business, as it steadily diversifies into blockchain finance.
The partnership with the SOLV Foundation underscores Jiuzi’s shift toward treating bitcoin not only as a passive store of value but as a productive asset capable of generating yield.
Building a compliance bridge between TradFi and DeFi
Jiuzi and SOLV emphasize that the partnership will operate in strict compliance with U.S. regulators and Nasdaq listing standards.
The collaboration establishes a joint operating committee composed of senior representatives from both organizations.
This committee will develop and oversee the bitcoin-centric DeFi initiatives and expand SolvBTC adoption across additional blockchain networks such as Solana and Base.
Combining Jiuzi’s regulatory standing and institutional access with SOLV’s on-chain expertise, the partnership aims to create a secure, transparent, and scalable financial framework for bitcoin-based products.
Both parties view the collaboration as a model for how regulated capital can safely participate in decentralized yield markets.
Optimizing corporate treasury with blockchain
Beyond yield products, Jiuzi plans to center parts of its corporate treasury around bitcoin as a primary digital asset.
The company’s bitcoin holdings, including those held by subsidiaries, will be deposited on SOLV’s platform and managed under the oversight of approved custodians.
This approach is designed to maximize capital efficiency while maintaining visibility and accountability through blockchain-based auditing tools.
Li Tao, CEO of Jiuzi Holdings, described the partnership as a “transformational step” that strengthens the company’s bitcoin custody strategy and links it to one of the most advanced ecosystems for bitcoin liquidity and staking.
Ryan Chow, co-founder of the SOLV Protocol, added that combining Jiuzi’s regulatory position with SOLV’s experience managing large bitcoin asset pools can open the door to safe institutional flows into DeFi.
Notably, news of the partnership triggered a sharp rise in Jiuzi’s share price, with the stock jumping more than 17% in trading following the announcement as investors reacted positively to the company’s expansion into digital asset finance and its potential role in enabling institutional bitcoin adoption.
