Jiuzi Holdings taps SOLV Foundation for its $1B Bitcoin investment plan

• Jiuzi commits up to $1B and 10,000 BTC to SOLV’s DeFi yield platform.
• The partnership bridges TradFi compliance with DeFi Bitcoin finance.
• JZXN shares have surged over 17% following the strategic announcement.

Jiuzi Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: JZXN) has unveiled a sweeping $1 billion Bitcoin finance initiative through a strategic partnership with SOLV Foundation, a decentralised finance (DeFi) platform managing more than $2.8 billion in total value locked.

The move positions Jiuzi as one of the few Nasdaq-listed firms actively bridging traditional finance (TradFi) with DeFi to create compliant, yield-generating Bitcoin products for institutional investors.

10,000 Bitcoin commitment to SOLV’s flagship SolvBTC.BNB vault

The partnership will see Jiuzi allocate up to $1 billion from its digital asset plan into Bitcoin staking and yield-focused blockchain products.

Central to the strategy is a commitment of up to 10,000 Bitcoin to SOLV’s flagship SolvBTC.BNB vault on the BNB Chain — one of the largest Bitcoin yield platforms in the ecosystem.

The 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 pivotal moment for Jiuzi Holdings, which is best known for its new energy vehicle infrastructure business in China.

The company has been steadily diversifying into blockchain finance, and its partnership with SOLV Foundation signals a deepened commitment to positioning Bitcoin as a productive, yield-bearing asset rather than a passive store of value.

Building a compliant bridge between TradFi and DeFi

Jiuzi and SOLV have emphasised that the partnership will operate under strict compliance with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations and Nasdaq listing standards.

The collaboration will establish a joint Steering Committee composed of senior representatives from both organisations.

This committee will develop and oversee Bitcoin-centric DeFi initiatives, including expanding the adoption of SolvBTC 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 participate safely in decentralised yield markets.

Optimising treasury strategy through blockchain

Beyond its yield products, Jiuzi will anchor its corporate treasury around Bitcoin as its primary digital asset.

The firm’s Bitcoin holdings, including those of its subsidiaries, will be deposited on SOLV’s platform and managed under the supervision of approved custodians.

This approach is designed to maximise capital efficiency while maintaining 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.

SOLV Protocol co-founder Ryan Chow added that the partnership merges Jiuzi’s regulatory stature with SOLV’s expertise in managing large-scale Bitcoin assets, paving the way for secure institutional capital flow into DeFi.

Notably, the news of the partnership sparked a sharp rally in Jiuzi’s stock, with shares surging more than 22% in trading following the announcement.

Investors responded positively to the company’s expansion into digital asset finance, recognising the potential for Jiuzi to play a pivotal role in institutional Bitcoin adoption.
