Nano Labs focuses on Bitcoin as part of ‘long-term vision’
While it remains unclear whether Nano Labs plans to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet, the chip designer emphasized that accepting the cryptocurrency “aligns with its long-term vision.” Shortly after the news broke, Nano Labs’ shares rose 5.6%, reaching $3.40 in pre-market trading, according to Nasdaq datos.
Founded in 2019 by Kong Jianping and Sun Qifeng, Nano Labs went public in July 2022. The firm initially aimed to raise up to $50 million in its U.S. IPO but secured only $20 million.

The majority of its revenue comes from China, according to PitchBook datos.
