Bitcoin News Today: Jiuzi's Bitcoin Strategy Builds Institutional Bridge to Crypto

Jiuzi Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: JZXN) has entered a strategic partnership with the SOLV Foundation, a cross-chain Bitcoin staking and structured finance platform with a total value locked (TVL) of $2.8 billion, to enhance its Bitcoin-centric treasury strategy, according to a Chainwire announcement. The collaboration, announced on October 27, 2025, positions Jiuzi as a Nasdaq-listed leader in leveraging digital assets, with Bitcoin as its primary reserve, according to a Morningstar report. Under the agreement, Jiuzi will deposit its Bitcoin holdings into SOLV's platform, which will be custodied by approved, regulated third parties to ensure institutional-grade auditability and compliance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Nasdaq regulations, as noted in a StockTitan report.

The partnership includes the formation of a joint Steering Committee tasked with advancing Bitcoin-centric decentralized finance (DeFi) initiatives. The committee aims to drive adoption of SolvBTC—a tokenized Bitcoin product—across blockchain networks like Solana and Base, while pioneering structured yield products and tokenized real-world assets, the Chainwire announcement said. This move aligns with Jiuzi's broader strategy to integrate its reserves with cutting-edge digital asset protocols, offering shareholders institutional exposure to Bitcoin while optimizing capital efficiency, the Morningstar report added.

Jiuzi CEO Li Tao emphasized that the collaboration strengthens the company's "Bitcoin vault strategy" and aligns it with "one of the most advanced platforms in the Bitcoin liquidity and staking ecosystem," the Chainwire announcement said. Ryan Chow, Co-Founder of Solv Protocol, highlighted the partnership's role in bridging traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto, stating that Jiuzi's Nasdaq listing "builds a bridge of trust for institutional capital flow into crypto," the Morningstar report noted.

The deal underscores Jiuzi's aggressive pivot into crypto treasury management, following a series of recent moves including a $1 billion cryptocurrency acquisition program and private placements secured through Bitcoin purchases, the StockTitan report observed. The company, which specializes in new energy vehicle (NEV) charging infrastructure in China's lower-tier cities, plans to continue expanding its Bitcoin holdings while advancing its carbon neutrality goals through energy storage-integrated fast-charging stations, according to Chainwire.

Analysts note that the partnership's success hinges on execution risks, including custody arrangements, governance of the Steering Committee, and adherence to regulatory frameworks, according to StockTitan. While the announcement lacks specific metrics such as deployment timelines or expected yields, investors will likely monitor future disclosures, including quarterly filings, for concrete progress.
