Analysis
The stock surged +23.2% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with investors focusing on the announced price floor of $2 per share and the scale of the proposed $100 million expansion. However, Jiuzi’s history shows sharp declines around large private placement news, including a -52.04% move after a prior expansion. The existing $500,000,000 Form F-3 shelf and repeated capital raises underscore ongoing dilution capacity, which could weigh on sustainability if sentiment shifts.

Pattern Detected
Past private placement news for Jiuzi coincided with a sharp negative reaction of -52.04%, suggesting financing headlines have historically been met with selling pressure.
Recent Company History
Over recent months, Jiuzi has repeatedly used equity-linked financings to fund a shift toward crypto and digital asset strategies. A Dec 12, 2025 MOU expanded a prior US$12 million plan up to US$1.0 billion, supporting crypto custody infrastructure and potential acquisitions. The current private placement expansion discussions at a stated price floor build on that pattern of large, strategy-driven capital raises, reinforcing an aggressive external funding model rather than internal cash generation.

private placementfinancial
"to further expand the private placement offering."
A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.
digital asset treasury (dat)financial
"implementation and ecosystem expansion of its Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy."
A digital asset treasury (DAT) is the pool of cryptocurrencies or token-based holdings a company keeps on its balance sheet as part of its cash and reserves, managed for corporate needs such as liquidity, investment or payments. It matters to investors because these holdings behave like volatile cash equivalents—similar to keeping foreign currency or a stockpile of oil—so their price swings, ease of selling, accounting treatment and regulatory risk can materially change a company’s value and financial flexibility.
crypto assetsfinancial
"in the form of equivalent crypto assets, will significantly strengthen the Company's digital asset reserves"
Crypto assets are digital tokens secured by cryptography and recorded on decentralized ledgers, used as money, ownership claims, or access rights to services and networks. They matter to investors because their prices can move sharply, offering the potential for big gains or losses, and they can change exposure to new technologies and regulatory risks—think of them as volatile digital commodities or currencies stored in a digital wallet.
multi-chain ecosystemtechnical
"expertise in multi-chain ecosystem deployment, cross-chain protocol integration, and liquidity routing"
A multi-chain ecosystem is a group of different blockchain networks that are designed to work together so tokens, contracts and data can move between them. Like highways connecting separate cities, it broadens access and liquidity, reduces dependence on a single platform, and can spur new products and users. For investors this matters because it can expand market opportunities and diversify technical or platform risk, but it also adds complexity and interoperability uncertainty.
cross-chain protocoltechnical
"multi-chain ecosystem deployment, cross-chain protocol integration, and liquidity routing"
A cross-chain protocol is a technology that connects two or more independent blockchains so tokens, data, or smart contract instructions can move between them—think of it as a bridge or translator between different digital ledgers. For investors it matters because it can unlock liquidity, let assets and applications reach wider markets, and reduce fragmentation, but it also introduces added technical and security risks that can affect value and trust.
liquidity routingtechnical
"cross-chain protocol integration, and liquidity routing, Jiuzi will expedite the test deployment"
Liquidity routing is the process that trading systems use to send a buy or sell order to the exchange or trading platform most likely to find a counterparty and the best price. Think of it as a GPS for orders that looks across multiple marketplaces to get a faster fill or a better price; for investors it affects how much you actually pay or receive, how quickly trades complete, and the chance an order is partially filled or delayed.
on-chain financial applicationstechnical
"implementation of on-chain financial applications;"
On-chain financial applications are financial services—like lending, trading, or payments—built to run directly on a blockchain using self-executing computer programs (smart contracts). They matter to investors because they can offer faster, more transparent and lower-cost alternatives to traditional banks by automating rules publicly on the ledger, but they also carry unique risks such as software bugs, liquidity limits and evolving regulation.
lock-up periodsfinancial
"discussions regarding specific terms, including the expanded scale, lock-up periods, and asset delivery methods."
A lock-up period is a set time after a company’s stock offering during which insiders, early investors, and employees are contractually prevented from selling their shares. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits how many shares can enter the market—reducing the risk of an immediate flood of sales—and when the period ends a sudden increase in supply can put downward pressure on the stock price, creating a predictable risk window.
HANGZHOU, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jiuzi Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: JZXN) (the "Company") today announced that, following the completion of the $60 million initial strategic financing round on February 13, 2026, it is actively engaged in discussions with multiple existing and potential private investment institutions to further expand the private placement offering. Based on preliminary discussion plans, the proposed expansion aims to raise up to $100 million at a price of no less than $2 per share, to accelerate the deepening implementation and ecosystem expansion of its Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy.
According to the Company, since the completion of the initial $60 million private placement, the institutional building capabilities and capital deployment efficiency demonstrated by the DAT strategy have continued to attract significant market attention. Multiple investment institutions that participated in the initial round have expressed clear interest in additional subscriptions, while several new investors have initiated internal due diligence processes with the intention of joining this expanded round. The parties are currently engaged in in-depth discussions regarding specific terms, including the expanded scale, lock-up periods, and asset delivery methods.
The Company indicated that the successful closing of this expanded financing would enable Jiuzi to achieve critical breakthroughs in the following dimensions:
• Expansion of treasury asset scale: The new funds, to be injected in the form of equivalent crypto assets, will significantly strengthen the Company's digital asset reserves, enhancing the treasury's carrying capacity and rebalancing flexibility under varying market conditions;
• Optimization of asset allocation structure: Leveraging the partner institutions' expertise in risk pricing, on-chain allocation, and duration management, the Company will further enhance the structural depth and counter-cyclical resilience of its treasury;
• Acceleration of on-chain application deployment: Building on the partners' technical expertise in multi-chain ecosystem deployment, cross-chain protocol integration, and liquidity routing, Jiuzi will expedite the test deployment of cross-chain asset management interfaces and the substantive implementation of on-chain financial applications;
• Improvement of treasury governance framework: The Company will continue to develop institutional prototypes across dimensions 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 the strong recognition by professional institutional investors of the Company's strategic direction, execution cadence, and governance capabilities. As the digital asset market infrastructure continues to accelerate its evolution, the Company will maintain its philosophy of openness and collaboration, working jointly with partners to advance treasury structure optimization, on-chain application implementation, and governance process automation.
The Company cautions that the relevant discussions are ongoing, and the specific scale, offering price, and final terms of the expanded financing remain subject to uncertainty. Definitive information will be disclosed in the Company's subsequent filings with the SEC. Investors are advised to consider the associated risks.
