Public Companies Layout Web3: The Strategic Transformation and Innovation of Boya Interactive

In the wave of digitalization, the Web3 strategic layout of listed companies has attracted widespread attention. As a pioneer of this trend, Dai Zhikang, Chairman of the Board of Boyaa Interactive, shared the company's transformation journey, strategic vision, and business innovations.

The Natural Combination of Online Games and Web3

The transformation of Boyaa Interactive stems from its deep accumulation in the online gaming field and its compatibility with Web3 technology. Dai Zhikang stated that he has conducted in-depth research on blockchain and the Web3 field and is optimistic about the industry's development prospects. For 20 years, Boyaa Interactive has been deeply engaged in online gaming, and there is a natural convergence between games and Web3. He pointed out that the game currency in chess and card games is essentially similar to stablecoins, and game users are expected to become new users of Web3. High-quality Web3 game products may lead to explosive user growth for blockchain.

In August 2023, Boya Interactive announced its entry into the cryptocurrency field, investing over $200 million to purchase crypto assets, including 3,353 Bitcoins. Dai Zhikang emphasized that the first step in entering Web3 is to own digital assets, and Bitcoin is the preferred choice. Although Bitcoin is highly volatile in the short term, it has the potential to resist inflation in the long term and can provide appreciation opportunities for stored value.

The Vision to Become the "Asian Version of MicroStrategy"

The strategic goal of Boya Interactive is clear: it hopes to become the Asian version of MicroStrategy. Dai Zhikang believes that MicroStrategy's strategy is correct and its actions are decisive, and Boya Interactive will learn from its experience to continuously increase its Bitcoin holdings to maintain its leading position in Asia.

Unlike MicroStrategy, Boyaa Interactive focuses not only on cryptocurrency asset reserves but also on integrating gaming with Web3 technology as a core strategy. The company plans to create and issue new digital assets through gaming and investment to promote the development of the Web3 ecosystem.

In the face of market volatility, Boya Interactive has demonstrated strategic resilience. Dai Zhikang believes that cryptocurrencies will become mainstream assets in the future, and Bitcoin has long-term anti-inflation potential as a means of value storage. The company currently has no plans to sell Bitcoin and intends to continue increasing its holdings through financing and profits from traditional gaming business.

Exploration of Web3 Games and Infrastructure

The Web3 strategy of Boya Interactive has achieved remarkable results. The company’s stock price has soared from HKD 0.5 to HKD 8.2, nearly a 17-fold increase, reflecting the market's recognition of its Web3 strategy.

In terms of business innovation, Boya Interactive is actively exploring Web3 game development. Dai Zhikang explained that the main difference between Web3 games and traditional games lies in profit distribution. In Web3 games, the tokens earned by users have value; the better the game performance, the higher the token value, and the more benefits players receive.

The MTT ESports project invested by the company is a successful case, attracting tens of thousands of users worldwide in just a few months, with approximately 60,000 to 80,000 weekly active users. In addition, Boya Interactive has also invested in Web3 infrastructure, such as public chains, wallets, and DeFi platforms, to build a complete ecosystem.

The Web3 Prospects in Hong Kong and the Future of Boya

The transformation of Boya Interactive is attributed to the unique advantages of Hong Kong as a global Web3 hub. Dai Zhikang believes that Hong Kong's role in the global Web3 arena has upgraded from a "testing ground" to a "systemic hub," showcasing unique competitiveness in its strategic positioning, regulatory innovation, and ecosystem building.

Looking to the future, Boya Interactive will continue to drive development through three major strategies: continuously increasing Bitcoin reserves, maintaining stable development of traditional gaming business, and increasing research and investment in Web3 gaming. Dai Zhikang believes that as Bitcoin consensus strengthens and prices continue to rise, the value of Boya Interactive will be discovered by more investors.
