Trump’s dominant win in the U.S. elections, recent regulatory improvements and the continued impressive performance of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have increased institutional adoption and bolstered market confidence.
Yandai Wang, Chairman and CEO of SOS, commenting on these developments, emphasized Bitcoin’s position as a viable investment option.
“Bitcoin market performance is robust and supported by positive developments such as the launch of several Bitcoin-related ETF options and ongoing improvements in the U.S. regulatory environment for digital assets. We believe this investment plan will further enhance the Company’s overall competitiveness and profitability in the digital asset investment sector,” he stated.
Strategies to Manage Bitcoin’s Volatility
SOS recognizing Bitcoin’s volatility and in an effort to maximize potential returns, plans to implement “sophisticated quantitative trading strategies”. These will include investing, arbitrage and active trading techniques.
These strategies are designed to achieve steady returns in the market environment while optimizing the Company’s investment portfolio over time.
SOS’s investments into Bitcoin comes amid badly performing financial metrics. Over the last twelve months, the company reported a revenue decline of 48.81% with total revenue standing at $111.12 million as of Q2 2024. Moreover, the company has struggled with profitability, experiencing a sharp 88.06% drop in its stock price over the past year.

In addition to its Bitcoin investments, SOS has diversified operations across blockchain technology, cryptocurrency mining, and commodity trading. The company is also exploring expansions into cryptocurrency security and insurance, leveraging advanced technologies such as big data, AI, and 5G networks.
