Techub News reports that, according to the Sing Tao Daily, the vice chairman of listed company Shide Global, Ma Haowen, revealed that the company had spent HKD 10.1 million in 2021 to purchase 23.4 bitcoins, which were stored in the now-defunct FTX in 2022, and are still awaiting compensation. Ma Haowen did not respond to whether the company would purchase bitcoins again in the future, but he still supports the strategy of listed companies holding digital currencies. Ma Haowen stated that Hong Kong, as an international financial center, has space to explore the development of the virtual asset industry under regulatory protection and to develop unique advantages.
