Jiuzi Holdings Engaged in Discussions with Private Investors to Expand Fundraising, Plans to Increase Scale to $100 Million at No Less Than $2 Per Share, Building on Its Completed $60 Million Private Placement

HANGZHOU, Feb. 19, 2026 — Jiuzi Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: JZXN) (the “Company”) today stated that, after completing its initial $60 million strategic financing round on February 13, 2026, it is actively holding talks with multiple existing and prospective private investment institutions to further expand its private placement offering. Per preliminary discussion plans, the proposed expansion seeks to raise up to $100 million at a per-share price of no less than $2, to accelerate the deeper implementation and ecosystem growth of its Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy.

The Company noted that since the initial $60 million private placement closed, the DAT strategy’s demonstrated institutional development capabilities and capital deployment effectiveness have continued to attract significant market attention. Various investment firms that participated in the initial round have expressed clear interest in additional subscriptions, while several new investors have launched internal due diligence processes with the aim of joining this expanded round. The parties are currently engaged in detailed discussions about specific terms, including the expanded scale, lock-up durations, and asset delivery methods.

The Company indicated that successfully finalizing this expanded financing would enable Jiuzi to achieve key breakthroughs in the following areas:

• Growth of treasury asset size: The new funds, to be injected as equivalent crypto assets, will significantly strengthen the Company’s digital asset reserves, enhancing the treasury’s capacity to hold assets and flexibility to rebalance under changing market conditions;

• Refinement of asset allocation structure: Leveraging partner institutions’ expertise in risk pricing, on-chain allocation, and duration management, the Company will further improve the structural depth and counter-cyclical resilience of its treasury;

• Faster deployment of on-chain applications: Building on partners’ technical expertise in multi-chain ecosystem rollout, cross-chain protocol integration, and liquidity routing, Jiuzi will expedite the test launch of cross-chain asset management interfaces and the substantive implementation of on-chain financial applications;

• Enhancement of treasury governance framework: The Company will continue to develop institutional prototypes across areas such as digital asset admission standards, on-chain audit procedures, risk exposure limit management, and compliant custody pathways, establishing a replicable governance architecture for larger-scale, higher-frequency asset allocation.

Jiuzi’s management emphasized that this expansion plan reflects professional institutional investors’ strong recognition of the Company’s strategic direction, execution pace, and governance capabilities. As digital asset market infrastructure continues to evolve at an accelerated pace, the Company will uphold its philosophy of openness and collaboration, working with partners to advance treasury structure optimization, on-chain application implementation, and governance process automation.

The Company cautions that related discussions are ongoing, and the specific scale, offering price, and final terms of the expanded financing remain uncertain. Definitive information will be disclosed in the Company’s subsequent SEC filings. Investors are advised to consider the associated risks.
