Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR
Zurich, 3 February 2026 - The Board of Directors of Youngtimers AG, a Swiss-listed APAC-focused asset management and investment holdings company (SIX: YTME; the “Company”), approved a crucial step to advance the Company’s principal investment strategy and resolved to invest parts of the Group’s treasury in Bitcoin (“BTC”) mining operations.
The Board of Directors approved a new investment to acquire 600 units of Bitcoin mining equipment, which will be brought into operation in the first quarter of 2026.
The total investment amounts to approximately US$6 million, of which approximately US$3 million will be financed from the Group’s treasury, and approximately US$3 million through leverage.
In relation to the acquisition of the mining equipment, YTME cooperates with its strategic shareholder DL Holdings Group Limited, a Hong Kong listed company (1709.HK), which is already active in the field of Bitcoin mining.
The Chairman and CEO of the Company, Ben Cheng, comments:
“Youngtimers AG believes in the transformative potential of blockchain technology, whilst Switzerland, as the Company's home jurisdiction, has established itself as one of the most welcoming jurisdictions globally for blockchain and digital asset innovation. We have a long-term horizon on Bitcoin and believe in its long-term value.
This is the backdrop of the Board of Directors’ decision to invest parts of the Group’s treasury in Bitcoin mining operations.
While some foreign listed companies already deploy Bitcoin-related treasury strategies, Youngtimers AG is, to our knowledge, the first Swiss SIX-listed company to launch and execute such a strategy. We also appreciate the further strengthening of our strategic partnership with DL Holdings Group Limited.”
