- Boyaa Interactive International Limited, an investment holding company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (0434.HK), develops and operates online card and board games primarily in the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong; its core offerings include web-based and mobile games such as Texas Hold'em, Fight the Landlord, Happy Poker Slots, Big Two Poker, Chinese Chess, Mahjong Collection, Domino QiuQiu, Boyaa Sichuan Mahjong, and other casual puzzle games, along with advisory services for online game applications. Founded in 2004 by Wei Zhang and headquartered in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, with key operations in Shenzhen, the company serves over 530 million registered users across more than 100 countries and regions in approximately 12 languages, targeting casual gamers through third-party distribution platforms and in-game virtual tokens. Boyaa maintains steady growth in its traditional online gaming segment, reporting revenue and daily active user increases of 2.8%, while employing around 226 people.
The company has strategically pivoted toward Web3 gaming and infrastructure since 2023, launching initiatives like Pet Land (a pet-themed social NFT dress-up game), YAAKO Wallet for multi-chain asset management, MTT Sports (a free Texas Hold'em tournament app), and projects on BounceBit and MTT Network public chains; it invests through funds such as UTXO Fund (Bitcoin ecosystem seeds), Awakening Ventures Fund, and Pacific Waterdrip Fund. Recent major developments include significant cryptocurrency acquisitions to support this transformation, with Bitcoin holdings reaching approximately 4,091 BTC as of September 2025 (average cost USD 68,114 per BTC, up 15.1% in nine months), following purchases of 290 BTC for USD 33 million in August 2025 and 245 BTC for HKD 219 million (USD 28 million) in September 2025, plus earlier investments like USD 1 million in BTC Inc.'s Bitcoin Ecosystem Fund. In 2024, Boyaa announced a company-wide shift to become a pure leading Web3 listed company, partnering with New Fire Technology for digital asset compliance and expanding crypto reserves beyond shareholder mandates for discloseable transactions.
