Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited (AEHL) announced that its Board of Directors has formally approved a Digital Asset Strategic Reserve Plan with a phased target of $10 billion to further support the continued implementation of its “Genius Plan.” The plan is designed to provide a stronger capital foundation and structural support for the Genius Plan, while systematically advancing digital asset allocation within the framework of a publicly listed company.
The approval reflects AEHL’s long‑term commitment to strategic asset allocation, expanding its Bitcoin acquisition program beyond the initial $1 million purchase that was completed earlier that day. By setting a $10 billion target, the company signals a substantial increase in its digital‑asset exposure and a clear intent to integrate Bitcoin holdings into its broader capital strategy.
The move is a significant shift in AEHL’s capital allocation and risk profile, potentially impacting future earnings, balance‑sheet composition, and shareholder value. Management emphasized that the $10 billion phased objective is intended to establish a clear long‑term scale framework in support of the Genius Plan, rather than representing a short‑term market action. The company will continue to advance the initiative based on market conditions, regulatory requirements, and internal execution pacing, while maintaining transparency in its disclosures.
The Genius Plan itself is structured around a “Genius Harvester” mechanism that triggers partial sales when Bitcoin’s price rises 1% above a cost anchor, and a “Genius Recycler” mechanism that uses half of realized gains for share repurchases. The plan also commits to real‑time disclosure of holdings and execution data through official social media channels. Management stated that the plan is designed to create a structured capital loop connecting digital assets and equity markets, aiming to generate shareholder value through Bitcoin holdings.
AEHL’s current financial health remains challenging, with recent reports indicating negative earnings and revenue declines. The $10 billion reserve plan represents a bold attempt to revitalize the company and tap into new growth avenues, but its success will depend on the company’s ability to execute effectively and manage the inherent risks of digital asset investments, including market volatility and regulatory changes. Analysts have expressed caution, citing the company’s historical financial performance and the speculative nature of the market reaction to the announcement.
The announcement was met with a strong market reaction, with the stock trading sharply higher on the day of the announcement. Investors were drawn to the narrative of a traditional company embracing cryptocurrency and the structured approach to value creation through Bitcoin holdings. However, the reaction was tempered by concerns about the company’s ongoing financial challenges and the speculative nature of the strategy.
