Part 1 · What the company is worth
Overview
Boyaa Interactive develops and operates mobile and PC card and board games — mainly Texas Hold'em poker, mahjong and other Chinese card games — sold mostly to Chinese-speaking players in Hong Kong, Macau and the wider region. Since 2024 the company has redirected much of its cash into a Bitcoin treasury strategy, buying and holding cryptocurrency on its balance sheet rather than reinvesting it in games, which now sizes its digital-asset holdings far larger than its game business.
How it makes money
Game revenue comes from in-app purchases players make for virtual items and enhanced play inside otherwise free-to-download card and board games — a business earning steady but shrinking fees from a mature player base. Alongside it, the company reports a separate Web3-related segment tied to its cryptocurrency holdings; this contributes little operating revenue but drives most of the swings in reported profit, because gains and losses on Bitcoin's market price flow straight through the income statement.
Revenue by segment
In-app purchases from mobile and PC card and board games such as Texas Hold'em, Mahjong Collection and Fight the Landlord, played mostly by Chinese-speaking users; revenue fell 6.6% in 2025.
Activity tied to the company's cryptocurrency holdings; a small revenue line next to a roughly HK$2.92 billion Bitcoin treasury whose price swings drive most of reported profit.
Competitive moat
No identified moat · NoneBoyaa competes in a mobile card-game market dominated by far larger Chinese platforms such as Tencent and NetEase, and its own game revenue has been declining for years. Its games are not tied to unique intellectual property or network effects strong enough to lock in players, so the company has instead built its balance sheet around a large speculative Bitcoin holding rather than around a durable competitive position.
What drives demand
CyclicalGame revenue depends on a mature, shrinking base of Chinese-speaking card-game players and has fallen for multiple years running. Reported profit now depends far more on Bitcoin's price than on game sales: a rising crypto market produced large paper gains in 2024, while a falling one drove a HK$2.39 billion loss in 2025 and a further loss warning in early 2026.
Key risks
- Bitcoin price exposure — The company holds roughly 4,092 Bitcoin as a treasury asset and marks it to market; falling Bitcoin prices produced a HK$2.39 billion attributable loss in 2025 and the company has flagged a further, larger loss for the first quarter of 2026 on continued price declines.
- Declining core game revenue — Revenue from the online game business, the company's original and largest activity, fell 6.6% in 2025 to HK$442.8 million, continuing a multi-year decline in its card and board game portfolio.
- Capital concentrated in one speculative asset — At the end of 2025 the company's digital assets were valued at approximately HK$2.92 billion, several times its annual revenue, so the balance sheet's value depends overwhelmingly on the price of one volatile cryptocurrency.
The case for
Buyers argue that Boyaa's Bitcoin treasury, now worth several times its annual game revenue, gives shareholders leveraged exposure to a rising cryptocurrency market while the legacy card-game business still generates a stable stream of in-app purchase revenue and dividends.
The case against
Sellers worry that a shrinking core game business is now overshadowed by a highly volatile Bitcoin holding that produced a HK$2.39 billion loss in 2025 alone, turning what was a game company into a leveraged crypto bet that can swing sharply with digital-asset prices.
