New York, September 5, 2025 – DDC Enterprise Limited (NASDAQ: DDC) (“DDC” or the “Company”), an Asian consumer-first company at the forefront of corporate Bitcoin acquisition and treasury management, released its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Management Commentary
“The first half of 2025 was transformational for DDC,” said Norma Chu, Founder, Chairwoman and CEO of DDC. “DDC started as a content-driven Asian food platform and has since grown into a portfolio of beloved, ready-to-eat consumer brands. In the first six months of 2025, DDC turned profitable and delivered record high gross margin and net income of 33.4% and $5.2 million, respectively. Our core operating business is the strongest it has ever been and we expect continued growth into the second half of the year.”
Ms. Chu continued, “In addition, we entered the Bitcoin treasury strategy space with conviction. In late May, we made our first purchase of BTC and outlined a structured plan for responsible accumulation. Since then, we have scaled quickly, executing a historical $528 million financing with premier institutional investors and completed nine separate BTC purchases, bringing our treasury holdings to 1,008 BTC as of the end of August, representing a BTC Yield of 1,798% since the first purchase1.”
Ms. Chu concluded, “DDC’s Bitcoin treasury competitive advantage lies in our extensive reach into China’s vast, underpenetrated investor base and a profitable core business that strengthens our access to capital markets. This foundation enables sustainable Bitcoin accumulation and ongoing investment in growth. Our goal is clear: lead this emerging category, reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and establish ourselves as one of the world’s top three treasury company within three years.”
