ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in
this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors discussed elsewhere in this report.
Business
WeTrade Group, Inc was incorporated in the State of
Wyoming on March 28, 2019. We currently pursue two corporate strategies. One business strategy is to continue providing software development
services, and the other strategy is to acquire and hold bitcoin.
Software development
We provide AI-enabled software development services
to our customers, which included developing, designing, and implementing various SAAS software solutions for businesses of all types,
including industrial and other businesses.

Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy
Our bitcoin acquisition strategy generally involves
acquiring bitcoin with our liquid assets that exceed working capital requirements, and from time to time, subject to market conditions,
issuing debt or equity securities or engaging in other capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase
bitcoin.
We view our bitcoin holdings as long-term holdings
and expect to continue to accumulate bitcoin. We have not set any specific target for the amount of bitcoin we seek to hold, and we will
continue to monitor market conditions in determining whether to engage in additional financings to purchase additional bitcoin.
This overall strategy also contemplates that we may
(i) periodically sell bitcoin for general corporate purposes, including to generate cash for treasury management or in connection with
strategies that generate tax benefits in accordance with applicable law, (ii) enter into additional capital raising transactions that
are collateralized by our bitcoin holdings, and (iii) consider pursuing additional strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate
funds using our bitcoin holdings.
We believe that, due to its limited supply, bitcoin
offers the opportunity for appreciation in value if its adoption increases and has the potential to serve as a hedge against inflation
in the long-term.

Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP represents a comprehensive set of accounting
and disclosure rules and requirements. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those
estimates. We use historical data to assist in the forecast of our future results. Deviations from our projections are addressed when
our financials are reviewed on a monthly basis. This allows us to be proactive in our approach to managing our business. It also allows
us to rely on proven data rather than having to make assumptions regarding our estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not
yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company
financial statements.
