Zhibao Technology enters non-binding term sheet with Joyer Tech for $4B Bitcoin PIPE financing

A $4 billion Bitcoin-backed PIPE deal sounds like the kind of announcement that would send a stock into orbit. For Zhibao Technology, a NASDAQ-listed insurance technology company, it would also represent a financing figure roughly 135 times the company’s most recently reported half-year revenue. That context is worth keeping in mind.

Zhibao Technology (NASDAQ: ZBAO) announced a non-binding term sheet with Joyer Tech for a Bitcoin-based private investment in public equity financing. Non-binding is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

What we actually know

Zhibao’s core business is insurtech, operating primarily in the Chinese market. For the first half of fiscal year 2026, the company reported revenue of RMB 206.0 million, roughly $29.5 million, a 41% increase year-over-year. That’s a real, meaningful growth number for a company of its size. It also puts the $4 billion figure in perspective: that’s not a financing round, that’s a moonshot.

Joyer Tech, formally listed as Joyer Tech And Information OPC, is a Philippine-registered entity registered under SEC No. OPC20200000223. It has appeared in Schedule 13D and 13G filings as a shareholder in various companies, though no documented relationship with Zhibao or any Bitcoin financing activity has been publicly established prior to this announcement.

No confirmed press release, SEC filing, or regulatory disclosure verifying the terms of this deal has surfaced as of this writing.

The timing is not subtle

On July 15, 2026, Zhibao received a deficiency notice from NASDAQ. The issue: the company’s stock had fallen below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, triggering a compliance clock. NASDAQ gives companies 180 days to get back above that threshold before the exchange begins delisting proceedings.

A company facing a NASDAQ delisting warning announcing a multi-billion dollar Bitcoin financing arrangement within days is a pattern the market has seen before. It’s the kind of combination that tends to generate significant short-seller attention and regulatory scrutiny in equal measure.

What investors should watch

The first thing to watch is whether this term sheet graduates into a binding agreement, and whether any binding agreement comes with SEC disclosure. A deal of this size involving a NASDAQ-listed company would trigger material event reporting requirements. If a filing appears, that’s meaningful confirmation. If the deal continues to exist only in press releases and social media announcements, that’s a different signal.

Second, watch Joyer Tech’s paper trail. Schedule 13D and 13G filings provide some information about its prior investment activity, but a Philippine-registered single-person corporation taking a lead role in a $4 billion Bitcoin financing for a Chinese insurtech listed in New York is an unusual profile for a counterparty of that scale. Institutional investors doing due diligence will want to see capitalization tables, proof of funds, and a clear explanation of how Bitcoin flows through the proposed structure.

Third, consider the NASDAQ compliance timeline. Zhibao has 180 days from July 15, 2026, to get its share price back above $1.00. A credible, large-scale financing announcement can, in theory, catalyze the stock recovery needed to satisfy that requirement.
