Next Technology: Viable Speculative Vehicle If Bullish On Bitcoin
Summary NXTT combines a small AI-SaaS business with a far larger Bitcoin treasury strategy that now drives most of the equity story. The stock has collapsed mainly due to repeated dilution. So, the stock’s rapid devaluation isn’t just due to weaker Bitcoin prices. However, by now, I believe this dynamic has created a potential valuation dislocation. NXTT is at a sharp discount to its cash+Bitcoin holdings. Naturally, the main risks are further dilution, thin trading liquidity, and regulatory exposure tied to Hong Kong and China. Still, I believe NXTT’s price tag now makes it a compelling speculative “Buy” for long-term investors who are bullish on Bitcoin. Next Technology Holding Inc. ( NXTT ) owns companies in Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands (BVI). NXTT mainly holds Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) and has a small software business. Interestingly, the stock has dropped sharply, not just because of falling Bitcoin prices, but also due to repeated share dilution. I also suspect the market may be discounting some potential governance issues, legal disputes, and ongoing regulatory risks linked to Hong Kong and China as well. However, despite these concerns, I think NXTT’s stock is at a considerable discount relative to its underlying cash+Bitcoin holdings. Thus, I rate the stock a viable speculative “Buy” at these levels for long-term investors who are bullish on Bitcoin. Software Co. With a Bitcoin Bet Next Technology Holding Inc. was incorporated in Wyoming back in 2019, under the name WeTrade Group, Inc., and changed its name to the current one by March 2024. NXTT operates through subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands (BVI). NXTT is headquartered in Takebashi, Japan. I previously covered NXTT last June with a neutral rating, and since then, the stock has plunged by 99.4%. This is mostly due to share issuance, but after reviewing its underlying liquid holdings and Bitcoin treasury, I think there may be an opportunity at these levels. Source: Next Technology Holding Inc. Website. Retrieved April 12, 2026. As a quick recap, NXTT’s latest public description suggests that the Hong Kong and BVI subsidiaries are used for business development and corporate operating purposes within the group, rather than being independent business segments. The company's parent says it directly manages key strategic projects and acts as the group’s research and development center. Therefore, under that corporate context, the Group structure is also Next Technology Inc. This company is part of the corporate organization, and its relevance is mainly legal/financial, and it’s referenced in connection with intra-group cash flows. NXTT previously had a Chinese subsidiary called WeTrade Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. However, that entity was dissolved in July 2024. Consequently, the group currently follows two corporate strategies : 1) AI-enabled software development services and 2) acquiring/holding Bitcoin. Moreover, NXTT states that it provides software-as-a-service (SaaS) to customers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and other Asian countries. The company lists product areas such as cloud collaboration, analytics, workflow automation, compliance, customer relationship management, and supply chain optimization. NXTT’s customers are described as property-management chains, cryptocurrency mining investment operators, and energy and resource businesses. Source: Next Technology Holding Inc. Website. Retrieved April 12, 2026. This way, NXTT reported $11.6 million of 2025 service revenue from its AI and SaaS activities, up from $1.8 million in 2024. The last financial filing stated that this revenue increase was driven mainly by custom enterprise solution deployments under four commercial customer agreements signed in 2025. Those customers are in hotel management, smart water system management, and cryptocurrency mining. So, it’s a relatively diverse customer base all in all. NXTT disclosed that those contracts included providing AI-enabled monitoring and management systems and represent recurring subscription and service fees. On the other hand, NXTT’s Bitcoin-related business is easily its main value driver. Here, NXTT shows an increase from 833 BTC at year-end 2024 to 5,833 Bitcoin at year-end 2025 (more on this later). The company says that going forward, it may use liquid assets, debt, equity issuance, or other capital-raising transactions to buy even more Bitcoin. In other words, NXTT genuinely treats Bitcoin as its active treasury and financing tool, despite having an otherwise healthy (albeit niche) AI-SaaS business. Valuation and Risk Analysis First of all, it’s worth highlighting that NXTT is a somewhat illiquid stock with only 29.5 thousand in average volume. At the current $1.65 PPS, that results in a shallow trading liquidity of only $48.7 thousand, meaning that even tiny buy/sell orders can quickly push the stock price. Still, from a valuation perspective, NXTT’s latest 10-K report shows its balance sheet holds $5.6 million in cash against no financial debt (aside from other regular operating liabilities). Aside from that, it does have $516.2 million in digital assets (i.e., Bitcoin), which NXTT itself discloses it plans to accumulate when Bitcoin’s price is low and sell when it’s high. Source: NXTT’s 10-K report. So, these digital assets are effectively liquid assets that they can buy/sell at their discretion. We also know NXTT held 5,833 Bitcoins as of March 2026 . Assuming a BTC-USD spot price of $74.5 thousand, that implies its digital assets are worth around $434.6 million today. Plus, NXTT recently raised $157.0 million by issuing 71.4 million new shares priced at $1.10 each. Thus, the updated cash balances are probably closer to $162.6 million, with digital assets worth $434.6 million mark-to-market. In total, that amounts to $597.2 million in liquid assets against no financial debt and only $68.6 million in total liabilities. Similarly, we know NXTT had 76.3 million shares outstanding as of December 2025. However, we should also account for the recently issued 71.4 million pre-funded warrants. In that sense, the warrant-adjusted shares would be around 147.7 million, and at NXTT’s $1.65 PPS , that implies a $243.7 million market cap. And this is interesting because it proves how volatile Bitcoin can be, but also it seems like a steep discount relative to its Bitcoin holdings. In fact, it would mean NXTT trades at just 1.5x its cash balances post-raise. But, more importantly, NXTT trades at only 0.4x its cash+Bitcoin balances. Source: Seeking Alpha Charts. That’s why I believe that if you’re bullish on Bitcoin, NXTT now definitely looks like a compelling investment vehicle to express that view. Additionally, note that NXTT sidestepped any China-related exposure when it exited the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 2024. However, the last filing warns that its Hong Kong operations could still face regulatory and political risks tied to China that could materially affect operations and shareholder value. Those concerns are mostly related to the restrictions applied in the PRC to cryptocurrencies. NXTT says it may rely on dividends from Hong Kong and BVI subsidiaries to fund the parent. However, so far, there have been no dividends or asset distributions among the holding company and subsidiaries that I could find. So, it’s possible the market may still be assigning a slight discount to NXTT due to its exposure to Hong Kong. Lastly, I think it’s worth noting that NXTT’s cash burn is somewhat negligible. I calculate they burned through $3.1 million during 2025. Note that I got that figure by simply adding its 2025 cash flows from operations and CAPEX. So, given its highly liquid balance sheet, I’d argue this further derisks NXTT as well. Ultimately, I think NXTT’s governance and dilution risks are the main culprits for its stock underperformance. But by now, the stock has declined much more than Bitcoin itself, which is why I now believe the stock is a viable speculative “Buy” for longer-term investors bullish on Bitcoin. Conclusion: Worth Speculating Overall, NXTT’s underlying AI-SaaS business isn’t extraordinarily unique, but it does generate some modest revenues. However, the main bull case with NXTT is tied to its Bitcoin exposure and ability to raise capital. In that regard, NXTT has proven that it can raise substantial amounts of capital from investors and that its cash burn is negligible relative to its liquid assets. As such, what nudges me towards a bullish stance this time around is that NXTT’s cash+Bitcoin holdings are quite undervalued at these levels. So, unless Bitcoin depreciates dramatically going forward, I feel NXTT could pay off nicely in the long run. Just make sure you keep your position sizing manageable, as NXTT does have some added complexities due to its exposure to Hong Kong.

Why is Injective (INJ) surging 10% after US futures launch?
Injective (INJ) has recorded a sharp upward move over the past 24 hours, climbing more than 10% to trade above $3.30. By the latest session, INJ peaked around $3.41 before stabilising near $3.35, showing strong intraday demand and elevated trading activity. The token’s sudden strength stood out in an otherwise quiet crypto market, where most major assets were largely flat. The price surge was not random. It came shortly after the launch of US-regulated futures contracts on Bitnomial, a CFTC-regulated exchange. https://twitter.com/injective/status/2044417942423552331?s=20 The launch of US-regulated INJ futures contracts on Bitnomial The introduction of INJ futures on a CFTC-regulated platform marks a meaningful step forward for the asset’s positioning in the broader crypto market. It places Injective alongside a small group of major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC) , Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP , that already have regulated futures markets in the United States. This matters because regulated futures products open the door to institutional participation in a way that spot markets alone often cannot. Hedge funds, trading firms, and asset managers can now gain exposure to INJ without directly holding the token. That reduces custody friction and expands the range of strategies that can be built around the asset, including hedging and leveraged positioning. More importantly, the launch also begins what many traders refer to as a “track record window.” This is a period where trading activity in regulated futures markets is monitored over time. In practice, this can play a role in strengthening the case for future exchange-traded products, including potential ETF-related structures. INJ price technical analysis Following the ETF news, INJ’s price has broken above its short-term and medium-term moving averages, signalling a shift in momentum after weeks of relatively muted performance. Trading volume has also surged significantly during the move, rising more than 100% above recent averages, suggesting the rally is backed by genuine participation rather than thin liquidity or isolated trading spikes. From a technical perspective, INJ’s strength pushed the Relative Strength Index into the mid-60s range, reflecting a strong momentum without entering overheated territory, which often leaves room for continuation if buying pressure persists. Injective price chart | Source: TradingView At the same time, the price action revealed a clear short-term structure. The $3.20 area has emerged as an important support zone, acting as a key level where buyers have consistently stepped in. On the upside, the $3.41 level has now become an immediate resistance point after being tested during the recent surge. If this level holds, analysts project another attempt to break above $3.41. A successful breakout could open the door toward the next upside area around $3.53, based on commonly tracked technical extensions. On the other hand, a failure to hold the $3.20 support could lead to a retracement back toward the $3.08 region, which would not necessarily invalidate the broader momentum.

BlackRock’s IBIT acquires $505.7 million in Bitcoin in two days
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ( IBIT ) accelerated Bitcoin ( BTC ) acquisitions this week, absorbing over half a billion dollars in two days. The largest spot BTC ETF recorded a net cash inflow of about $505.7 million over the past two days, according to data from SoSoValue, as analyzed by Finbold on April 16. After opening this week with an inflow of $34.70 million, IBIT investors purchased $213.83 million in Bitcoin on Tuesday and $291.86 million on Wednesday. BlackRock’s IBIT daily cash flow. Source: SoSoValue Over the past two days, the fund recorded a total traded volume of roughly $104.05 million. Amid the renewed demand for Bitcoin through spot BTC ETFs, as Finbold pointed out , BlackRock’s IBIT has seen its net assets grow to approximately $59.73 billion at press time. What does BlackRock’s Bitcoin buying mean for the BTC price? The renewed demand for Bitcoin through BlackRock’s IBIT has catalyzed bullish sentiment. Despite the crypto market crash, investors have accumulated BTC through the asset manager year to date, as Finbold reported . Since the beginning of this week, Bitcoin price has gained 5.7%, trading at around $74,710 at the time of publication. As such, the flagship coin added nearly $86 billion in market capitalization to hover at $1.5 trillion at reporting time, as per updates from Finbold. BTC/USD 7-day performance. Source: Finbold The fresh capital from institutional investors into Bitcoin could help the asset break out of the resistance level around $75,000. Moreover, the easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have been favorable for crypto assets. However, BTC’s price could face a near-term correction if fresh capital into IBIT slows. Furthermore, Bitcoin price has formed a possible double top – a bearish reversal pattern that forms after an asset makes two consecutive peaks – at around $75,000 in the past three days.
