- Jiuzi commits up to $1 billion and 10,000 BTC to SOLV’s Bitcoin yield platform.
- The partnership narrows the gap between TradFi compliance and Bitcoin DeFi finance.
- JZXN shares jumped more than 17% after the strategic announcement.
Jiuzi Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: JZXN) has launched a $1 billion Bitcoin finance initiative through a strategic partnership with the SOLV Foundation, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that oversees over $2.8 billion in total value locked.
This move positions Jiuzi among a small group of Nasdaq-listed firms actively bridging traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi to create compliant, yield-generating Bitcoin products for institutional investors.
Commitment of 10,000 Bitcoin to SOLV’s SolvBTC.BNB vault
Under the agreement, Jiuzi will allocate up to $1 billion from its digital asset plan into Bitcoin staking and yield-focused blockchain products.
The centerpiece of the strategy is a commitment of up to 10,000 Bitcoin to SOLV’s primary SolvBTC.BNB vault on the BNB Chain — one of the largest Bitcoin yield platforms in the ecosystem.
Assets will be held by regulated third-party custodians and verified using Chainlink’s proof-of-reserves auditing system, ensuring institutional-grade transparency and security.
This represents a milestone for Jiuzi Holdings, a company better known for its new energy vehicle infrastructure business in China.
The firm has steadily diversified into blockchain finance, and its partnership with the SOLV Foundation underscores a deeper commitment to treating Bitcoin as a productive, yield-bearing asset rather than solely a store of value.
Building a compliant bridge between TradFi and DeFi
Jiuzi and SOLV emphasize that the partnership will operate under strict compliance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and Nasdaq listing standards.
The collaboration will establish a Joint Steering Committee composed of senior representatives from both organizations.
This committee will design and oversee Bitcoin-centered DeFi initiatives, including extending SolvBTC usage across additional blockchain networks such as Solana and Base.
By 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 companies view the collaboration as a model for how regulated capital can safely participate in decentralized yield markets.
Optimizing treasury strategy through blockchain
Beyond yield products, Jiuzi plans to align its corporate treasury around Bitcoin as its primary digital asset.
The company’s Bitcoin holdings, including those of its subsidiaries, will be deposited on the SOLV platform and managed under approved custodian oversight.
This approach is designed to maximize capital efficiency while preserving visibility and accountability through blockchain-based auditing tools.
Li Tao, Chief Executive Officer of Jiuzi Holdings, described the partnership as a “transformative step forward” that strengthens the company’s Bitcoin vault strategy and aligns it with one of the most advanced ecosystems for Bitcoin liquidity and staking.
Ryan Chow, co-founder of SOLV Protocol, added that the alliance pairs Jiuzi’s regulatory credentials with SOLV’s expertise in managing large-scale Bitcoin assets, paving the way for secure institutional capital flows into DeFi.
Notably, the announcement sparked a sharp rise in Jiuzi’s stock, with shares surging more than 17% in trading following the news.
Investors reacted positively to the company’s expansion into digital asset finance, recognizing Jiuzi’s potential to play a significant role in institutional Bitcoin adoption.
