SHANGHAI, Dec. 03, 2024 — MultiMetaVerse Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: MMV), a leading Chinese animation and entertainment company targeting young consumers, announced a Hong Kong joint venture with Zhao Mingwei (“Big Bear”) and Li Yuanfeng. This partnership will leverage their expertise and resources in Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining.
MMV will own 80% of the new venture, with Zhao Mingwei and Li Yuanfeng each holding 10%. A board of directors representing all three parties will oversee operations. The company’s primary focus will be acquiring Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining equipment.
The joint venture aims to acquire 500 Bitcoins legally owned by Zhao and Li by June 2025, and an additional 1,000 Bitcoins by December 2025.
MMV will grant Zhao and Li 1 million shares each, contingent upon the NASDAQ closing price of MMV exceeding US$1.00 within two months of this announcement and either maintaining a closing price of no less than US$1.00 for ten consecutive trading days within that period, or the joint venture acquiring at least 50 Bitcoins. Failure to meet these conditions will result in the cancellation of the shares.
Zhao Mingwei (“Big Bear”) is a prominent Chinese financial blogger and digital currency expert, founder of Xiongke Group, and author of “IP Wealth Creation Field,” boasting over 10 million social media followers. His investment portfolio includes Haowen International, Caitang (acquired by Proya), and Guanyi Cloud Computing (acquired by Kingdee).
Li Yuanfeng is a renowned Chinese angel investor and blockchain technology expert. Previously the founder of Zhiyue Media (China) Holdings Co., Ltd., a Falcon Venture Capital partner, and a serial entrepreneur, he was recognized by 36Kr as a “Most Discovering Investor in China’s Sharing Economy.” His investments include Mipao, Delicious Life, Yuanding, Huifenqi, Werewolf Kill, and a pre-IPO investment in Inke.
Xu Yiran, MMV’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We’re thrilled to partner with leading Chinese blockchain and digital currency experts to expand our business into global Bitcoin investment.”
Zhao Mingwei (“Big Bear”) commented, “Digital currency is a key global investment opportunity warranting in-depth analysis. Digital assets, born from increased economic globalization, present both challenges and opportunities for the real economy and financial systems.”
Li Yuanfeng added, “A Bitcoin price of $100,000 would broaden mainstream appeal. Investing before this threshold allows us to capitalize on future price appreciation.”
