Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited Launches "Genius Plan"，a Structured Digital Asset Management Strategy Amid BTC Market

NEW YORK, NY, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:AEHL, or the "Company")), today announced the launch of a structured digital asset management strategy - the "Genius Plan", designed to establish a disciplined Bitcoin (BTC) allocation and capital recycling framework, as global markets focus on Bitcoin's sharp decline and investor sentiment rapidly shifts toward fear, which clears the way for AEHL's BTC deployment.

With BTC retreating from recent highs to nearly half its peak value, the Company views the current market zone as a strategically compelling entry opportunity. The "Genius Plan" represents not only an evolution of AEHL's strategic treasury reserves and capital management framework, but also the potential emergence of a new crypto-equity linkage model between Wall Street and the digital asset ecosystem. The Company believes this initiative may inject renewed confidence into the currently subdued BTC market and serve as a guiding beacon for traditional capital entering the digital asset space.

AEHL believes that during periods of extreme market volatility, long-term outcomes are not determined by short-term emotional reactions, but by rigorous data analysis and structured execution systems.

The "Genius Plan" will be implemented in five core phases:

Step One: Establish Strategic Positioning

The Company will initiate its strategy with a $1 million BTC purchase as its starting position, executing an initial one-time acquisition. Subsequent purchases will be conducted in tranches rather than through a single concentrated allocation, gradually building a structured BTC holding framework.

On February 27, the Company will announce the first objective approved by its Board of Directors. Through phased accumulation, each tranche will create an independent cost anchor, providing a clear and disciplined basis for future strategic execution.

Step Two: Activate the "Genius Harvester" Mechanism

When the market price rises 1% relative to a specific cost anchor, the system will trigger a predefined partial-sale mechanism. For example, if a $1 million position appreciates to $1.01 million, the Company would sell $10,000 worth of BTC.

This mechanism is designed to break down consolidation phases and high-volatility environments into quantifiable and executable trading units. By repeatedly capturing small wave movements, the Company aims to accumulate incremental gains — building layer upon layer — rather than passively waiting for a single "tsunami" move.

Step Three: Launch the "Genius Recycler" Mechanism

Fifty percent of realized gains generated through the "Genius Harvester" will be specifically allocated toward the Company's share repurchase program. Subject to Board authorization and applicable regulatory frameworks, the repurchase program will serve as a core pathway in AEHL's shareholder return structure.

AEHL believes that if realized gains do not ultimately return to and reinforce shareholder value, capital strategy loses its fundamental meaning.

Step Four: From "Zombie Holding" to Dynamic Management

AEHL emphasizes that it does not intend to become a passive holder that fails to realize gains during upswings and simply absorbs losses during downturns. Long-term conviction does not conflict with phased realization. Discipline does not contradict strategic vision.

The Company chooses to rely on data-driven models rather than emotion-driven decision-making.

Step Five: Real-Time Transparency

Management stated that relevant holdings and strategy execution data will be disclosed in real time through official channels including X, Momo, Tiger Trade, Snowball, LinkedIn, Weibo, and Rednote, ensuring transparency and timely communication with global investors.

Ms. Tingting Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited, commented: "We are committed to building a structured capital loop connecting digital assets and equity markets: Financing → Digital Asset Allocation → Profit Realization → Share Repurchase → Enterprise Value Enhancement → Refinancing.

Markets may swing violently, but companies must maintain structural clarity. We do not wait for miracles, nor do we rely on belief. We establish rules — and act within those rules — harvesting irregular waves one by one."
