Future Outlook

The company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering primarily for the purchase of bitcoin mining machines and will utilize excess capital raised towards investment in data center and working capital.

Industry Context

The company operates in the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology sector, which is subject to rapid technological changes, evolving industry standards, new service introductions and changing customer demands.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• The company competes with Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT in the cryptocurrency mining equipment market.
• The company claims that its C16 miner surpasses competitors' models in certain parameters, including hash rate and power efficiency.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders may face difficulties enforcing their legal rights under United States securities laws against our directors and officers who are located outside of the United States.
• The dual-class structure of our Class A ordinary shares has the effect of concentrating voting control with certain shareholders, including our executive officers, employees and directors and their affiliates, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.
• The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.
• The market price of our Class A ordinary shares may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance.
• We may experience extreme stock price volatility, including any stock-run up, unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A ordinary shares.
• The exercise of the warrants issued on December 14, 2021 may further dilute the Class A ordinary shares and adversely impact the price of our Class A ordinary shares.

Next Steps

• The company will deliver Class A ordinary shares being issued to the investors electronically and will mail such investors physical warrant certificates for the warrants sold in this offering, upon closing and receipt of investor funds for the purchase of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus.
