Jiuzi is transforming its billion-dollar treasury from a passive crypto holding into a revenue-generating engine by plugging directly into BitFi’s network of staking and arbitrage strategies.

Summary

Jiuzi Holdings partnered with BitFi to access a $2.75 billion Bitcoin asset pool and launch yield-generating strategies.
The deal marks Jiuzi’s shift from passive crypto holdings to active participation in Bitcoin finance.
Both firms stress full regulatory compliance as Jiuzi expands its $1 billion digital asset treasury across BTC, ETH, and BNB.

According to a press release dated Oct. 20, Nasdaq-listed Jiuzi Holdings has executed a strategic cooperation agreement with crypto platform BitFi. The deal grants Jiuzi full access to BitFi’s $2.75 billion ecosystem of wrapped Bitcoin assets, including WBTC and BTCB.

The partnership will see Jiuzi make an initial capital injection into BitFi’s multi-chain staking and arbitrage strategies, with plans to scale its commitment progressively. Notably, a newly formed joint committee with BitFi will focus on developing structured yield products and exploring compliant tokenization of real-world assets, signaling a move beyond simple asset accumulation.

Jiuzi seeks to bridge corporate treasury and on-chain yield

Per the statement, the partnership redefines Jiuzi’s role in the digital-asset space. The company is moving from simply holding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to positioning itself as an active, integrated Bitcoin financial-services provider.

“Partnering with BitFi represents a critical step in our Web3 infrastructure deployment. By tapping into their global BTC liquidity network, we bridge traditional finance rigor with blockchain innovation vitality to create differentiated value for clients,” Jiuzi Holdings CEO Li Tao said.

Both companies emphasized that the collaboration will adhere to Nasdaq listing standards and U.S. securities rules, signaling a deliberate attempt to frame the project within existing oversight rather than operating at its edges. This distinction may prove critical as public firms test how traditional compliance frameworks can coexist with decentralized yield mechanics.

The development follows Jiuzi’s September announcement of a $1 billion digital asset treasury allocation split among Bitcoin, Ether, and BNB. That plan introduced a new layer of institutional discipline around crypto management, including the creation of a dedicated risk committee led by CFO Huijie Gao to oversee investment policy and compliance.

1. Crypto outperformed traditional equity indexes following the rate hike, but elevated interest rates remain a key constraint on cross-asset allocation. From September 12 to 18, BTC, ETH, and SOL gained 4.83%, 3.84%, and 9.96%, respectively, while the S&P 500 edged down 0.08%. The U.S. Dollar Index rose 1.11%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at approximately 4.998%. Improving risk appetite is therefore coexisting with elevated discount rates, raising the bar for RWA allocation: investors need to compare not only returns on the underlying assets, but also on-chain liquidity and collateral efficiency. 2. Growth in tokenized equities is occurring even as the overall RWA market remains under pressure. As of September 18, Distributed Asset Value across RWAs stood at $38.503 billion, down 1.13% week over week, while tokenized equities reached $3.056 billion, up 6.03%. This week's data are better explained by capital reallocating across different RWA segments than by a broad-based expansion of the entire RWA market. 3. For exchanges, the opportunity lies in connecting spot holdings, collateral, and derivatives. Reality's distributed asset value stands at approximately $155 million, while eligible rTokens can already be used within Bitget's UTA margin framework. Across CoinGlass's verifiable sample of 177 TradFi instruments, open interest reached approximately $11.498 billion, up 2.06% week over week, even as weekly trading volume declined 7.60%. The medium-term opportunity remains intact, but deeper utilization will depend on liquidity, collateral use, and sustained trading activity. 4.Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, ZEC, gold, tokenized U.S. equities, COST. 5.Key metrics to watch: rToken collateral utilization, the durability of TradFi open interest and trading volume, and next week's employment and consumer data.
