HONG KONG, July 25, 2025 — The gold market has experienced a robust uptrend in recent years, propelled by both technical and fundamental influences. By mid-July 2025, several technical indicators indicated favorable trends, as institutional investment continued to enter the gold sector. Industry reports (Reuters, World Gold Council) indicate substantial net inflows into global gold ETFs during the first half of the year, alongside central bank acquisitions consistently exceeding 1,000 tons for the fourth consecutive year. Amidst these market conditions, NASDAQ-listed Blue Hat (BHAT) is providing an update on the performance of its gold reserves, obtained as part of its strategy for trading precious metals.

In August 2024, Blue Hat purchased 1 metric ton of gold for roughly $1,990 per ounce, amounting to an approximate total expenditure of $64 million, as previously stated in its SEC submissions. Due to recent fluctuations in gold prices, the company’s 1-ton gold position has yielded approximate unrealized profits of $42 million, marking a 65% increase. Mr. Chen Xiaodong, the company’s CEO, commented: “The gold market environment has generally been positive. We are actively observing market trends while preserving our strategic involvement in precious metals trading.”

In addition to gains from holdings, Blue Hat has further expanded its gold trading activities, achieving a gold trading volume of 123 kilograms during the first half of the year, aiming to produce cash flow through its trading operations and associated services. The company has established a gold trading network that covers Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Mr. Chen remarked, “Central bank acquisitions are transforming the structure of the gold market, and this demand from institutional players offers enhanced liquidity for our trading ventures. Our priority is to grow our precious metals trading segment while diligently addressing inherent risks. We intend to assess raising our gold reserves to 1500 kilograms, contingent on market dynamics and board endorsement.”

Concerning the company’s methodology in contrast to other market growth strategies, Mr. Chen stated, “Our approach emphasizes integrating physical precious metals ownership with active trading operations. This methodology is designed to achieve our business goals while mitigating volatility through a variety of precious metals engagements.”

As the company progresses in evolving its precious metals activities, its leadership is examining diverse prospects within the gold trading industry, pending market circumstances, regulatory compliance, and board sanction.

Blue Hat’s strategy integrates physical precious metals ownership with trading activities, forming a component of its wider business transformation. The company persists in assessing opportunities within precious metals markets, concurrently managing the inherent risks and regulatory demands.
