NEW YORK, May 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: AEHL, or the “Company”), today announced significant milestones in its structured digital asset allocation strategy, the “Genius Plan”. Initially launched in February 2026 as a dynamic framework to manage Bitcoin (BTC) treasury reserves, the Genius Plan has successfully transitioned into its execution validation phase, generating $190,000 in realized investment gains, as of this announcement.
In direct alignment with the predefined capital recycling and return distribution mechanisms established at the plan’s inception, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program. The Company will utilize 50% of these newly realized gains – totaling $95,000 – to repurchase issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the open market, as of June 6, 2026.
Execution Depth and Capital Recycling Logic
This milestone represents the first complete cycle of the Company’s “Sustainable Capital Recycling Framework”. Designed to replace passive holding with dynamic, data-driven management, the core of the Genius Plan combines structured digital asset allocation with highly disciplined execution mechanisms. By accumulating assets in distinct phases, each purchased Bitcoin tranche establishes an independent price anchor, empowering the Company to systematically capture value appreciation during market volatility. The successful realization of $190,000 in gains not only validates the strategy’s foundational profitability, but successfully triggers the “Genius Recycler” mechanism – demonstrating the Company’s ability to directly convert Bitcoin growth dividends into tangible shareholder value through the 50% repurchase allocation.
Securing Assets via Global Top-Tier Infrastructure
The Company reiterates that all digital asset acquisitions and storage are executed under a strategic partnership with BitGo, a world-leading institutional custodian. Leveraging BitGo’s multi-signature private key management and its SOC 2 Type 2 security audit architecture, the Company ensures absolute on-chain security and rigorous regulatory compliance for its assets. Furthermore, all fund deployments are strictly governed by internal authorization procedures, maximizing the mitigation of operational risks.
Repurchase Program Mechanics and Disclosure Commitments
The share repurchases will be executed by the Company in the open market, strictly adhering to prevailing market conditions and applicable securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Maintaining its core commitment to real-time transparency, the Company will continue to provide investors with daily updates regarding its digital asset holdings and capital movements via its official channels on X (formerly Twitter), Futu, and Tiger Trade.
Ms. Tingting Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited, stated: “The ‘Genius Plan’ has yielded positive results. Following the recent effectiveness of our $200 million Form F-3 shelf registration, the Company intends to allocate 90% of the financing proceeds to further invest in the ‘Genius Plan’. Management is satisfied with the initial validation of the ‘Genius Plan’s’ core logic. By allocating realized gains to share repurchases, the Company aims to optimize its capital structure and enhance earnings per share. This initiative reflects our professionalism in managing digital assets within our established framework, and we plan to continue advancing subsequent asset allocation and capital management strategies based on market conditions.”
