Shares of Tian Ruixiang Holdings (NASDAQ: $TIRX) surged nearly 150% on Tuesday after the nano-cap insurance company announced that a strategic investor plans to invest 15,000 Bitcoin in exchange for a large equity stake in the firm.
At current prices, the Bitcoin portion of the deal is worth about $1.16 billion. The company said the full plan is valued at $1.5 billion, which it expects will strengthen its balance sheet and support its expansion into digital assets.
Bitcoin Deal and AI-Crypto Partnership
Beyond the Bitcoin investment, Tian Ruixiang said it plans to form a broader partnership with the investor focused on innovation across the AI and crypto value chain. As part of this effort, the company intends to launch a global innovation lab.
The lab will focus on developing AI-powered trading and risk management systems, blockchain infrastructure, and new AI-crypto products designed for both institutional and retail users. The company said these initiatives are central to its longer-term strategy in digital assets.
Recent Business Developments
Separately from the Bitcoin announcement, Tian Ruixiang disclosed several recent business updates. Last week, the company said it is in advanced talks to acquire a Hong Kong-based brokerage focused on offshore asset allocation and wealth management. The target firm reportedly generates more than $200 million in annual revenue and has posted about 50% growth over the past five years.
In another move, Tian Ruixiang signed a memorandum of understanding with SwiftStart, which is considering a potential $80 million equity investment priced at $1.50 per share.
Nasdaq Compliance Risk Still in Focus
Despite Tuesday’s sharp rally, Tian Ruixiang continues to face Nasdaq listing challenges. The company recently received a notice for failing to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement after trading below $1 for 30 consecutive business days.
Because Tian Ruixiang completed a five-for-one reverse stock split on September 5, 2025, it is not eligible for a standard 180-day grace period. A Nasdaq hearing is scheduled for February 17 to determine whether the company can maintain its listing.
Retail Sentiment Turns Extremely Bullish
Retail traders reacted strongly to the news. On some reports, sentiment around $TIRX remained in the “extremely bullish” zone over the past 24 hours, with message volume also described as “extremely high.”
One user described the rally as a “perfect storm” driven by short interest combined with bullish headlines. Despite the surge, the stock is still down more than 50% year-to-date, showing how volatile trading in the name has been.
