NOTES TO CONDEDSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS
Business
Next Technology Holdings Inc (formerly known as WeTrade Group, Inc) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on March 28, 2019. We currently pursue two corporate strategies. One business strategy is to continue providing software development services, and the other strategy is to acquire and hold bitcoin.
Software development
We provide AI-enabled software development services to our customers, which include developing, designing, and implementing various SAAS software solutions for businesses of all types, including industrial and other businesses.
Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy
Our bitcoin acquisition strategy generally involves acquiring bitcoin with our liquid assets that exceed working capital requirements, and from time to time, subject to market conditions, issuing debt or equity securities or engaging in other capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase bitcoin.
We view our bitcoin holdings as long-term holdings and expect to continue to accumulate bitcoin. We have not set any specific target for the amount of bitcoin we seek to hold, and we will continue to monitor market conditions in determining whether to engage in additional financings to purchase additional bitcoin.
This overall strategy also contemplates that we may (i) periodically sell bitcoin for general corporate purposes, including to generate cash for treasury management or in connection with strategies that generate tax benefits in accordance with applicable law, (ii) enter into additional capital raising transactions that are collateralized by our bitcoin holdings, and (iii) consider pursuing additional strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our bitcoin holdings.
We believe that, due to its limited supply, bitcoin offers the opportunity for appreciation in value if its adoption increases and has the potential to serve as a hedge against inflation in the long-term.
The following table presents a roll-forward of our bitcoin holdings, including additional information related to our bitcoin purchases, and digital asset impairment losses during the period:
| | Digital asset original cost basis | | | Gain from digital asset | | | Market Value of digital asset | | | Approximate number of Bitcoin held | |

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) that have been made are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Operating results for the quarterly periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
The statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which establishes accounting guidance for crypto assets meeting certain criteria. Bitcoin meets these criteria. The amendments require crypto assets to meet the criteria to be recognized at fair value with changes recognized in net income each reporting period. Upon adoption, a cumulative-effect adjustment is made to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. ASU 2023-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has early applied ASU 2023-08 and measured crypto assets (presented as digital assets) at fair value with changes recognized in net income this year.
The following table summarizes the Company’s digital asset holdings as of:
| | March 31, 2024 | | | December 31, 2023 | |
Approximate number of bitcoins held | | | 833 | | | | 833 | |
Digital assets carrying value | | $ | 59,156,975 | | | $ | 35,137,576 | |
Gain on digital assets during the period/ Year | | $ | 24,019,399 | | | $ | 10,147,576 | |
As of March 31, 2024, approximately 833 of the bitcoins held by the Company, which had a carrying value of approximately $59.2 million on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity period of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. All of the Company’s cash that is held in bank accounts in Hong Kong and PRC are not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US$. The functional currency of the Company is US$, and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is RMB. The condensed consolidated financial statements are translated into US$ from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity included in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss. There were no gains and losses from foreign currency transactions from the inception to March 31, 2024.
| | March 31, 2024 | | | December 31, 2023 | |
RMB: US$ exchange rate | | | 7.22 | | | | 7.09 | |
The balance sheet amounts, with the exception of equity, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were translated at 7.22 RMB and 7.09 RMB to US$1.00, respectively. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rates. The average translation rates applied to statements of operations and comprehensive income accounts for the period ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023 were 7.18 RMB and 7.08 RMB to US$1.00, respectively. Cash flows were also translated at average translation rates for the period and, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows would not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Consolidation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Group and subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Group and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgement estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates used in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant accounting estimates include the allowance for expected credit loss, valuation of deferred tax assets, and certain accrued liabilities such as contingent liabilities.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are presented net of allowance for expected credit loss. The Company uses specific identification in providing for bad debts when facts and circumstances indicate that collection is doubtful and based on factors listed in the following paragraph. If the financial conditions of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowance may be required.
The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit loss which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected. The Company determines the allowance for expected credit loss on general basis taking into consideration various factors including but not limited to historical collection experience and credit-worthiness of the customers as well as the age of the individual receivables balance. Additionally, the Company makes specific bad debt provisions based on any specific knowledge the Company has acquired that might indicate that an account is uncollectible. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Company to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability.
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the industry incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
ASU 2016-02 requires that public companies use a secured incremental browning rate for the present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in the contract is not readily determinable. We determine a secured rate on a quarterly basis and update the weighted average discount rate accordingly.
Software Development Costs
We apply ASC 985-20, Software—Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, in analyzing our software development costs. ASC 985-20 requires the capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility for a software product in development. Research and development costs associated with establishing technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Based on our software development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. In addition, we apply this to our review of development projects related to software used exclusively for our SaaS subscription offerings. In these reviews, all costs incurred during the preliminary project stages are expensed as incurred. Once the projects have been committed to and it is probable that the projects will meet functional requirements, costs are capitalized.
Income Tax
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
The Company has subsidiaries in Hong Kong and PRC. The Company is subject to tax in Hong Kong and PRC jurisdictions. As a result of its future business activities, the Company will be required to file tax returns that are subject to examination by the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong and Tax Department of PRC.
Earnings / (Loss) Per Share
Earnings/(Loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants, options, or convertible debt using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.
Potential dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in profit periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
As of March 31, 2024, there were no potentially dilutive shares.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to non-financial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

The Company records the allowance against bad debt expense through the condensed consolidated statements of operations, included in general and administrative expense, up to the amount of revenues recognized to date. Receivables are written off and charged against the recorded allowance when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success. There is no allowance for expected credit loss as the accounts receivable has been received as at reporting date.
NOTE 8 – PREPAYMENTS
As of March 31, 2024, prepayments consist of the following:
| | March 31, 2024 | | | December 31, 2023 | |
Prepayment for digital assets | | $ | 12,125,500 | | | $ | 12,125,500 | |
As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on September 28, 2023, the Company entered into a BTC Trading Contract (the “BTC Contract”) with an autonomous organization (the “Association Seller”), which supports its members in the sale of BTC. While the Association Seller provides services to facilitate the sale of BTC by its members, it does not exert control over them by ownership or contract, nor does it make decisions for its members relating to the sale of BTC. None of the members of the Association Seller hold equity, serve as director or officer, or otherwise has voting power or management rights of the Association Seller.
Under the BTC Contract, the Company has the right to purchase up to 6,000 BTC from the members of the Association Seller (each, a “BTC Seller”) through the Association Seller at a locked price of $30,000/BTC over a 12-month period commencing on September 25, 2023, with payment to be made in the form of cash or the Company’s shares. Although the BTC Contract states that the Association Seller (Party B) “owns the virtual currency”, to our knowledge, this statement was mistakenly made. As of the date of the BTC Contract, it were the individual members of the Association Seller, not the Association Seller itself, who own the BTC to be sold under the BTC Contract. We believe the Association Seller will coordinate with its members to fulfill the Company’s purchase of BTC, however, we cannot guarantee that the Company will be able to purchase BTC from the BTC Sellers. The BTC Contract was entered into solely between the Company and the Association Seller and no BTC Sellers owe any legal obligation to the Company in connection with the purchase and sale of BTC.
Following the execution of the BTC Contract, the Company purchased 833 BTC from the BTC Sellers and decided to purchase an additional 1,000 BTC (the “1,000 BTC Purchase”). As of December 31, 2023, the Company made a prepayment to the BTC Sellers through the Association Seller of approximately $12,125,500 (the “Prepayment Amount”), representing 40% of the total purchase price for 1000 BTC. The prepayment was made to secure favorable pricing and demonstrate the Company’s commitment to completing the 1,000 BTC Purchase. This prepayment is refundable if the 1,000 BTC Purchase is not completed.
While negotiating the terms of the 1,000 BTC Purchase with the BTC Sellers, the Company decided to exercise its right under the BTC Contract to purchase 5,000 BTC (the “5,000 BTC Purchase”), which includes the previously planned 1,000 BTC. To reflect the then price increase in BTC and finalize the transaction details of the 5,000 BTC Purchase, the Company and the Association Seller entered into that certain Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) on May 2, 2024, which was previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 6, 2024.
According to the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the aggregate price for the 5,000 BTC through the issuance of 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) valued at $3.75 per share, which was the closing market price of the Common Stock as of May 1, 2024 (the “Then FMV”) and warrants to purchase 80,000,000 shares of the Common Stock with the exercise price of $2.6 per share (equal to 70% of the Then FMV). In connection with the 5,000 BTC Purchase, on May 8, 2024, the Company filed a Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Preliminary 14C”). Subsequently, the Company decided to cease pursuing the 5,000 BTC Purchase due to the market fluctuations in BTC and further discussions with the BTC Sellers, which was previously disclosed on a Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 26, 2024.
Despite the cancellation of the 5,000 BTC Purchase, negotiations regarding the original 1,000 BTC Purchase continued. The Company’s original plan was to settle the remaining 60% of the total purchase price for 1,000 BTC through the issuance of the Common Stock at a per share price based on the average market price over a five-day period immediately prior to the date of the completion of the 1,000 BTC Purchase. However, the Board believed in the potential long-term appreciation of the BTC. As a result, it has decided to halt the 1,000 BTC Purchase and instead re-negotiate the terms with the Associate Seller to acquire 5,167 BTC, which represents the maximum number of BTC that the Company was entitled to purchase under the BTC Contract minus the BTC already acquired under the BTC Contract.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Acquisition of Company
On March 1,2024, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain existing shareholders (the “Sellers”) of Future Dao Group Holding Limited, an exempted company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands(the “Target”),pursuant to which the Company agrees to purchase from the Sellers indirectly through Next Investment Group Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Next Investment”), and the Sellers agree to sell to Next Investment, an aggregate of 2,000 ordinary shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of the Target (the “Transaction”) at a per share purchase price of $6,698 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $13,396,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Transaction, the Company will pay the Purchase Price by issuing to the Sellers an aggregate of 3,940,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Next Technology Common Stock”) based on an agreed-upon valuation of $3.40 per share (the “Per Share Price”). The Per Share Price is above $3.19, which is the average price per share of the shares of common stock of the Company traded on Nasdaq Capital Market in the five trading days prior to the signing date of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, each Seller will receive its portion of the Company’s Common Stock proportionate to the number of the Purchased Shares to be sold by such Seller to Next Investment under the Purchase Agreement, the transaction has been completed in end of April 2024.
Change of Company name
Effective April 2, 2024, the Company has changed its name to Next Technology Holdings Inc. The name change was made pursuant to the Wyoming Business Corporations Act, and an amendment to Article I of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation was filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State on March 18, 2024 (Amendment ID: 2024-004669585).
Our common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker symbol “NXTT”. Outstanding stock certificates for shares of the company are not affected by the name change. They continue to be valid and need not be exchanged.
Amended and Restated BTC Trading Contract
On September 24, 2024, the Company and the Association Seller entered into an Amended and Restated BTC Trading Contract (the “Amended BTC Contract”), which amended and restated the BTC Contract. Under the Amended BTC Contract, the Company is entitled to purchase up to 5,167 BTC (the “Total BTC”) from the BTC sellers set forth on Schedule I to the Amended BTC Contract (the “Schedule I BTC Sellers”) through the Association Seller at a purchase price of US$30,000 per BTC (subject to an additional purchase price by issuance of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at a nominal exercise price as described below) over a 12-month period commencing on the date of the Amended BTC Contract. The purchase price for the Total BTC will be paid by the Company in cash or shares of Common Stock. Although the Amended BTC Contract states that the Association Seller (Party B) “owns the virtual currency”, to our knowledge, this statement was mistakenly made. As of the date of the Amended BTC Contract, it were the Schedule I BTC Sellers who are the individual members of the Association Seller, not the Association Seller itself, who own the BTC to be sold under the Amended BTC Contract.
To our knowledge, the Association Seller entered into a cooperation agreement with each Schedule I BTC Sellers (the “Cooperation Agreement”) on the same day when the Amended BTC Contract was entered. Under the Cooperation Agreement, each Schedule I BTC Seller agrees to transfer a specified number of BTC (as set forth in the Cooperation Agreement) to a BTC wallet address designated by the Association Seller for the transactions contemplated under the Amended BTC Contract.
While we believe the Association Seller will be able to coordinate with its members to fulfill the Company’s purchase of BTC if the Company so decides, we cannot guarantee that the Company will successfully acquire BTC pursuant to the Amended BTC Contract. The Amended BTC Contract was entered into solely between the Company and the Association Seller and no Schedule I BTC Sellers owe any legal obligation to the Company in connection with the purchase and sale of BTC. Furthermore, as the Company is not a party to the Cooperation Agreement, it cannot enforce the terms of the Cooperation Agreement against any Schedule I BTC Sellers should such Schedule I BTC Sellers do not perform their obligations under the Cooperation Agreement. For example, if a Schedule I BTC Seller does not transfer its committed BTC to the Association Seller pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, we may not be able to purchase such BTC from the Association Seller pursuant to the Amended BTC Contract.
At the time when the Amended BTC Contract was signed, the Company indicated its intent to exercise the option to purchase 5,000 BTC out of the Total BTC pursuant to the Amended BTC Contract (the “Amended 5,000 BTC Transaction”). According to the terms of the Amended BTC Contract, the previously-made Prepayment Amount will be applied towards the total purchase price for the Amended 5,000 BTC Transaction and the Company will pay the remaining balance through (i) the issuance of 135,171,078 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) valued at $1.02 per share and (ii) the issuance of warrants to purchase 294,117,647 shares of Common Stock at a nominal exercise price (the “Warrants”).
The value of $1.02 per share for the Shares is equal to the sum of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the Amended BTC Contract, and (ii) $0.01. Using the same per value valuation, the warrants are worth approximately $300,000,000.
Pursuant to the Amended BTC Contract, the Company shall exercise its option to purchase BTC thereunder prior to September 24, 2025. While the Company’s purchase option thereunder is time-limited, the Amended BTC Contract itself will remain in effect without a defined expiration date, unless otherwise terminated. In the event of a breach by either party, the non-breaching party has the right to terminate the agreement. In such case, the breaching party will be obligated to pay a penalty of $18,000,000 to the non-breaching party.
The above description of the Amended BTC Contract does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended BTC Contract, a copy of which is attached to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, filed with the SEC on September 27, 2024, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Impact on Company’s Capitalization and Stockholder Approval
The issuance of securities pursuant to the Amended BTC Contract will not affect the rights of the Company’s existing stockholders, but such issuances will have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders, including the voting power of the existing stockholders.
As of the date of this report, there were 6,976,410 issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Immediately after the issuance of the Shares (assuming no exercise of the Warrants), there will be 142,147,488 issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock, and the ownership percentage of the Company’s existing stockholders in the Company will be diluted to approximately 4.91%. Assuming full exercise of the Warrants concurrently with the issuance of the Shares, immediately after the issuance of the Shares, there will be 436,265,135 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the ownership percentage of the Company’s existing stockholders in the Company will be further diluted to approximately 1.60%.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(a), if an issuer intends to issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in connection with the acquisition of stock or assets of another company, which may equal or exceed 20% of the outstanding common stock or voting power on a pre-transaction basis, the issuer generally must obtain the prior approval of its stockholders. Pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), if an issuer intends to issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, other than in a public offering, which may equal or exceed 20% of the outstanding common stock or voting power on a pre-transaction basis for a price that is lower than (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of a binding agreement; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement for such common stock, the issuer generally must obtain the prior approval of its stockholders.
The Shares to be issued to the Schedule I BTC Sellers in the Amended 5,000 BTC Transaction exceeds the threshold for which stockholder approval is required under Nasdaq Rule 5635(a), and the Warrant Shares to be issued to the Schedule I BTC Sellers upon the full exercise of the Warrants could result in the issuance of a number of shares exceeding the threshold and pricing for which stockholder approval is required under Nasdaq 5635(d). As such, the Company is required to obtain requisite stockholder approval for the Amended 5,000 BTC Transaction.
As disclosed in a Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed by the Company on October 3, 2024, the Company has obtained the requisite stockholder approval for the Amended 5,000 BTC Transaction in accordance with the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws on September 24, 2024.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed elsewhere in this report.
Business
Next Technology Holdings Inc (formerly known as “WeTrade Group, Inc”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on March 28, 2019. We currently pursue two corporate strategies. One business strategy is to continue providing software development services, and the other strategy is to acquire and hold bitcoin.
Software development
We provide AI-enabled software development services to our customers, which include developing, designing, and implementing various SAAS software solutions for businesses of all types, including industrial and other businesses.
Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy
Our bitcoin acquisition strategy generally involves acquiring bitcoin with our liquid assets that exceed working capital requirements, and from time to time, subject to market conditions, issuing debt or equity securities or engaging in other capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase bitcoin.
We view our bitcoin holdings as long-term holdings and expect to continue to accumulate bitcoin. We have not set any specific target for the amount of bitcoin we seek to hold, and we will continue to monitor market conditions in determining whether to engage in additional financings to purchase additional bitcoin.
This overall strategy also contemplates that we may (i) periodically sell bitcoin for general corporate purposes, including to generate cash for treasury management or in connection with strategies that generate tax benefits in accordance with applicable law, (ii) enter into additional capital raising transactions that are collateralized by our bitcoin holdings, and (iii) consider pursuing additional strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our bitcoin holdings.
We believe that, due to its limited supply, bitcoin offers the opportunity for appreciation in value if its adoption increases and has the potential to serve as a hedge against inflation in the long-term.

Revenue from Operations
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, total revenue were $nil respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months period ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses were $330,145 and $166,295 respectively. The increase is mainly due to increase in BTC consulting fee during the period.
Other Income
The other income of $24,019,399 is mainly due to gain from digital assets during the period.
Net Profit
As a result of the factors described above, there was a net profit of $19,546,495 and net loss of $166,295 for the period ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in net profit is mainly due to gain from digital assets during the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities
As of March 31, 2024, our cash flow used in operating activities is $530 for the period ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the cash flow used in operating activities of $511,772 in prior period. The decrease was mainly due to higher fair value gain in BTC were made in prior period.
Financing activities
Cash provided by our financing activities was $635 for the period ended March 31, 2024 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $186,000. The decrease is mainly due to lesser in shareholders’ advance during the period as compare to the prior period.
Inflation
Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP represents a comprehensive set of accounting and disclosure rules and requirements. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates. We use historical data to assist in the forecast of our future results. Deviations from our projections are addressed when our financials are reviewed on a monthly basis. This allows us to be proactive in our approach to managing our business. It also allows us to rely on proven data rather than having to make assumptions regarding our estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and as such are not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Item 305 of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
With respect to the period ended March 31, 2024, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Based upon our evaluation regarding the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer, has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. Material weaknesses noted are lack of an audit committee, lack of a majority of outside directors on the board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and management is dominated by two individuals, without adequate compensating controls. However, management believes the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies (the COSO criteria). Based on our assessment, management identified material weaknesses related to: (i) our internal audit functions; (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions; and the lack of multiple levels of review of our accounting data. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of March 31, 2024, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with any policies and procedures may deteriorate. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. To the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. With proper funding we plan on remediating the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since mid-September 2023, Mr. Zheng Dai, Mr. Pijun Liu, and certain individuals under their control (the “Unauthorized Persons”) had been falsely and repeatedly holding themselves out as representing and/or authorized to represent the Company. For example, the Unauthorized Persons caused to be filed certain current reports on Forms 8-K dated September 28, 2023 and October 10, 2023, in which they purported to appoint new officers and directors. These filings were false and should be disregarded.
On September 28, 2023, a derivative lawsuit was filed by certain purported shareholders affiliated with the Unauthorized Persons in the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming against certain officers and directors of the Company, seeking control of the Company. This case was dismissed without prejudice on October 18, 2023.
On October 18, 2023, the same individuals who filed the above-described derivative suit filed a direct action against the Company in the Chancery Court of the State of Wyoming (the “Chancery Court”), again seeking control of the Company. The Company responded to the lawsuit, sought a temporary restraining order restraining the plaintiff-shareholders and their affiliates (including the Unauthorized Persons) from claiming be in control of the Company.
On November 7, 2023, the Chancery Court issued a temporary restraining order substantially restraining the plaintiff-shareholders and their affiliates from claiming to act on behalf of the Company. The lawsuit remains pending as at reporting date.
On November 30, 2023, the Company responded to plaintiffs’ arguments that they controlled the Company, pointing out that plaintiffs’ case (Mr. Dai Zheng and his affiliates) was largely built upon forged signatures and other fabricated materials. In response, the plaintiffs withdrew their opposition to the Company’s request for an injunction.
On January 5, 2024, the Chancery Court entered a preliminary injunction order (attached hereto). Specifically, the order restrained Mr. Dai Zheng and his affiliates from the following conduct:
| (i) | acting as or holding themselves out as majority shareholders, directors, executives, or employees of the Company and its affiliates; |
| (ii) | making any attempts to contact the SEC, Nasdaq, government authorities, or make any filing or press release on behalf of the Company; |
| (iii) | making any attempts to change the board composition and executive team; |
| (iv) | disseminating false statements regarding the Company and its leadership; |
| (v) | making any attempts to contact the Company’s service providers, including auditors, stock transfer agents, and filing agents; |
| (vi) | making any attempts to issue the Company’s shares. |

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On June 9, 2023, the Wyoming Secretary of State approved the Company’s certificate of amendment to amend its Articles of Incorporation to effect 1 for 185 Reverse Stock Split. The total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock decreased from 195,057,503 to 1,054,364 shares, with the par value unchanged at zero.
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to more expediently enable the Company to regain compliance to achieve a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every one-for-one hundred and eighty-five (185) shares of the Company’s Common Stock then issued and outstanding will automatically, and without any action of the Company or any holder thereof, be combined, converted, and changed into one (1) validly issued and non-assessable share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued to any shareholder, and in lieu of issuing any such fractional shares, the fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.
In September, 2023, there were 1,570,600 shares issued with the total amount of $12,616,454, and the Company’s common stock issued has been increased to 2,625,130 shares as of March 31, 2024.
