NA Files 6-K: First Bitcoin-Denominated Tranche in $500M Convertible Deal

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 25 June 2025, Nano Labs Ltd (Nasdaq: NA) filed a Form 6-K providing additional detail on its previously announced private placement of convertible promissory notes that could raise up to US$500 million (payable in cash or cryptocurrency) over the next 360 days. Subscriptions may close in multiple tranches.

Initial closing: the company received 600 Bitcoins (≈ US$63.6 million) and issued two unsecured, 360-day notes. These notes are convertible into Class A shares at US$20 per share, a price subject to equitable adjustment if Nano Labs later issues more favorable financing terms.

• No pre-payment allowed; any outstanding principal at maturity must be repaid in Bitcoin.
• Immediate Bitcoin repayment is triggered by a defined change-of-control event.
• The notes carry no collateral, making them senior only by contract.

The company currently holds 1,000 Bitcoins, including the 600 BTC received in this first tranche. Management warns there is no guarantee that investors will subscribe for the full US$500 million before the 360-day window closes.

The filing incorporates the transaction into Nano Labs’ effective Form F-3 shelf and includes customary forward-looking-statement disclaimers regarding market, regulatory and execution risks.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Up to US$500 m convertible notes boost liquidity; first 600 BTC tranche already adds US$63.6 m to treasury.

The private placement offers Nano Labs flexibility to secure sizable capital without immediate equity dilution. The initial tranche alone lifts liquid crypto holdings to 1,000 BTC, improving short-term liquidity before potential Web 3.0 infrastructure investments. The US$20 conversion price appears above recent trading ranges, indicating investor confidence and limiting dilution, while tranche structure lets management match funding with project milestones. If fully subscribed, proceeds could dwarf FY-2024 revenue and materially extend runway, making the announcement strategically positive.

Risk Analyst

TL;DR: Unsecured, crypto-denominated debt introduces dilution and Bitcoin-price risk within a tight 360-day window.

While providing liquidity, the notes are uncollateralized and mature in twelve months, exposing Nano Labs to refinancing pressure. Repayment and conversion are tied to Bitcoin, adding earnings and cash-flow volatility. A falling BTC price could inflate share conversions or force greater share issuance, while a rising price raises repayment cost. The absence of pre-payment rights removes management flexibility, and there is no assurance of additional closings, making funding uncertain. Investors should weigh dilution, crypto-market risk and short tenor before judging the net benefit.

Nano Labs Announces Additional Information regarding the Convertible Notes Private Placement for BNB Treasury Strategy

Nano Labs Ltd (Nasdaq: NA) ("we," the "Company" or "Nano Labs"), a leading Web 3.0 infrastructure and product solution provider in China, today announces additional information regarding the convertible notes purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) announced previously, under which the Company has agreed to issue, and several investors have agreed to subscribe for, convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of US$500 million payable in cash or equivalent amount of cryptocurrencies (each a “Note”).

The subscription under the Agreement may close in multiple tranches during a period up to 360 days following the date of the Agreement, and the final aggregate purchase price may be less than US$500 million if not subscribed for in full within such 360 days. As of June 25, 2025, the Company had an initial closing of 600 Bitcoins, which is equivalent to approximately US$63.6 million under the Agreement, and issued two notes in connection therewith to the investors. These Notes have a term of 360 days, are uncollateralized obligations of the Company, and are convertible into the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at the election of the investors during the term. The Company shall not make prepayment prior to the expiration of the term, and to the extent there are any outstanding principal amount under the Notes, the Company shall make repayment in Bitcoins. The initial conversion price is US$20 per share, which is subject to equitable adjustment to reflect the more favorable commercial terms and conditions (if any) in financing activities the Company subsequently undertakes. The Company shall make immediate repayment in Bitcoins of the outstanding principal amount under the Notes upon a “change-of-control” event as specified in the Notes.

There is no guarantee that closings will take place to make the full subscription under the Agreement. Investors should not place on due reliance on this press release.

The Company currently holds 1,000 Bitcoins, including the initial closing of 600 Bitcoins under the Agreement.
