Boyaa Interactive International ( (HK:0434) ) has issued an update.

Boyaa Interactive International warned that it expects a significantly larger first-quarter 2026 net loss attributable to shareholders, rising by about 110% to 120% from the HK$224 million loss a year earlier. The deterioration is mainly driven by a sharper decline in the fair value of its digital asset holdings, following a drop in Bitcoin prices during the period, highlighting the group’s earnings sensitivity to cryptocurrency markets.

Excluding non-operating one-off factors such as fair value changes in digital assets and certain financial investments, the company anticipates a solid improvement in its core operations, with adjusted profit for the quarter projected to climb about 85% to 90% year on year. Management attributes this underlying profit growth to higher online gaming revenues, suggesting that the group’s fundamental gaming business is strengthening despite market-driven swings in its crypto-related assets, though investors are urged to exercise caution until audited results are released.
