Overview
Next Technology Holding Inc (Formerly known
as “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 include 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 held for
trading and expect to continue to accumulating 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.

Inflation
Inflation does not materially affect our business
or the results of our operations.
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.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts . ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise
judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying
our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price
to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies
the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for
the services it transfers to its clients.
Use of Estimate
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance
for expected credit loss. The Group uses specific identification in providing for bad debts when facts and circumstances indicate that
collection is doubtful and based on factors listed in the following paragraph. If the financial conditions of its customers were to deteriorate,
resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowance may be required.
The Company maintains an allowance for expected
credit loss which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected. The Company determines the allowance
for expected credit loss on general basis taking into consideration various factors including but not limited to the historical collection
experience and credit-worthiness of the customers as well as the age of the individual receivables balance. Additionally, the Company
makes specific bad debt provisions based on any specific knowledge the Company acquires that might indicate that an account is uncollectible.
The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Company to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability.

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.
Post-Balance Sheet Events
On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into
a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain existing shareholders (the “Sellers”) of Future
Dao Group Holding Limited, an exempted company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Target”),
pursuant to which the Company agrees to purchase from the Sellers indirectly through Next Investment Group Holding Limited, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (“Next Investment”), and the Sellers agree to sell to Next Investment, an aggregate of 2,000 ordinary
shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of the Target (the “Transaction”) at a per share purchase price of $6,698 per
share for an aggregate purchase price of $13,396,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the closing
of the Transaction, the Company will pay the Purchase Price by issuing to the Sellers an aggregate of 3,940,000 shares of common stock
of the Company (the “Next Technology Common Stock”) based on an agreed-upon valuation of $3.4 per share (the “Per Share
Price”). The Per Share Price is above $3.19, which is the average price per share of the shares of common stock of the Company
traded on Nasdaq Capital Market in the five trading days prior to the signing date of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, each Seller will receive its portion of the Company’s Common Stock proportionate to the number of the Purchased Shares
to be sold by such Seller to Next Investment under the Purchase Agreement, the transaction is expected to complete in end of April 2024.
Change of Company name

“Company”) changed its name to Next Technology Holding Inc. The name change was made pursuant to the Wyoming Business Corporations
Act, and an amendment to Article I of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation was filed with the Wyoming Secretary
of State on March 18, 2024 (Amendment ID: 2024-004669585).
Our common stock will continue to trade on the

by the name change. They continue to be valid and need not be exchanged.
