With the gradual rise in digital currency prices, Chinese mobile app company Meitu followed Tesla’s example of investing heavily in cryptocurrencies.
The company itself confirmed this through a statement published on its website this Sunday. According to the note, Meitu purchased 15,000 ETH and 379.1214267 BTC last Friday, March 5. This purchase corresponded to about $22.1 million in ETH and $17.9 million in bitcoin.
Meitu’s stock price soared by 14% on Monday, setting the most significant intraday gain in about two weeks. Ether’s stock price also rose by 5.3% on the same day, marking its highest point in the past two weeks.
Meitu also pointed out that digital currency prices have room for appreciation, and cryptocurrencies can diversify their investment portfolio.
Ether is the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. No other large companies have shown their willingness to invest heavily in it. In recent years, Cai Wensheng, chairman of Meitu, has been inspired by Elon Musk’s investment in Bitcoin. He has begun to focus on blockchain technology and invest in cryptocurrencies.
In 2016, Meitu conducted its largest IPO in Hong Kong in its history. At that time, investors greatly appreciated the series of photo editing software launched by Meitu. However, after Huawei, Xiaomi, ByteDance, and other smartphone companies and Internet giants launched their products, they affected Meitu’s market position.
