Nasdaq-listed MicroCloud Hologram has invested up to $200 million in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency-related derivatives.
According to a June 3 press release, the Shenzhen-based firm has acquired up to $200 million worth of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency-related securities derivatives, which include financial instruments tied to the performance of digital assets.
MicroCloud said the purchased Bitcoin and its derivatives will be incorporated into its capital reserves.
Unlike direct Bitcoin purchases added to a company’s treasury, derivatives offer exposure to price movements without requiring physical ownership of the asset. This approach allows firms like MicroCloud to manage volatility, hedge positions, and maintain liquidity while still benefiting from crypto market trends.
MicroCloud first announced its plans to invest in Bitcoin and digital assets in February 2025. The investment is part of its broader financial strategy, which it hopes will “enhance the company’s financial stability and long-term growth potential.”
Investing in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency derivatives would serve as a strategic hedge while also supporting MicroCloud’s ambitions in emerging sectors, including blockchain technology, quantum computing, quantum holography, and AI-powered augmented reality, the release noted.

The funds are being drawn from its $303 million in cash reserves. Notably, the company has already generated $19.08 million in cumulative investment income from its cryptocurrency holdings and plans to continue allocating capital toward digital assets, related securities derivatives, and broader technology development.
MicroCloud, which operates primarily out of Shenzhen through its Chinese subsidiaries, joins a growing list of China-based firms that have gained crypto exposure in the past weeks.
As previously reported by crypto.news, in May, e-commerce firm DDC Enterprise outlined plans to build a 5,000 BTC reserve, referring to Bitcoin as a core part of its future financial strategy. Around the same time, mobility platform Webus International unveiled plans to raise $300 million to back an XRP reserve for cross-border payments.
