The9 Posts Record Profit Driven by AI Platform and Token Gains

The company’s growth strategy centers on the9bit, an AI-powered platform launched in August 2025. With over 8 million registered users, the platform has already facilitated the creation of more than 110,000 games. The9 is now evolving the service into a comprehensive operating system for interactive entertainment, utilizing a proprietary orchestration layer that coordinates over 60 specialized AI agents to streamline game development into 10-minute production cycles.

Financial gains were bolstered by a significant token allocation agreement with the Panama-based 9BIT Foundation. Following the receipt of 1.425 billion tokens in the first quarter, the company secured an additional 475 million in April, bringing its total holdings to 1.9 billion. While the company holds approximately US$110 million in total cryptocurrency assets, including BTC and 9BIT, leadership remains focused on long-term sustainability. To ensure this trajectory, the Board of Directors approved an incentive plan for senior management tied to continuous quarterly profit growth throughout 2026. These equity awards are subject to strict multi-year vesting and lock-up conditions, signaling the company's commitment to sustained shareholder value as it integrates AI-driven workflows into its core operations.
