Under the plan, Zhibao would sell stock and receive about 3,500 BTC as consideration, valued at roughly $220 million at current prices. The proposed deal has not been finalized and remains subject to several conditions, including final valuation, custody arrangements, audit verification, regulatory review, Nasdaq compliance, and execution of definitive agreements. The term sheet also indicates that, at closing, the buyer is expected to designate a majority of Zhibao’s board members, while the existing management team would continue to handle day-to-day operations. Separately, Zhibao disclosed on July 15 that it had received a Nasdaq deficiency notice because its share price had fallen below the $1 minimum bid requirement. The company said it has 180 calendar days, until January 6, 2027, to regain compliance.
