The deal between these two companies sets up the framework for Future FinTech to acquire Nanjing Ribensi Electronic Technology. This will have it paying $9.3 million to bring the bitcoin mining company under its control.

The agreement between the two companies includes safety nets for Future FinTech should the bitcoin business not bring in as much in net profits as expected. If net profit isn’t $2.3 million in 2021, $3 million in 2022, and $3.8 million in 2023, the sellers of Nanjing Ribensi Electronic Technology will cover any shortfalls.

Nanjing Ribensi Electronic Technology operates a bitcoin mining farm with a total of 30,000 mining machines. The farm is located in Yajiang County, Sichuan Province, China and already has all the proper government approvals.

It’s also worth noting that the deal guarantees that the bitcoin mining farm will continue normal operations for six to eight years. Nanjing Ribensi Electronic Technology’s current operations team will also remain in place after the deal closes. They will handle operating, maintaining, and updating the equipment.

“The bitcoin mining farm that we have targeted for potential acquisition not only enables us to deploy advanced bitcoin mining machines, but to potentially generate profits due to the expected low energy cost of the target mining farm since it uses local low cost of hydroelectricity to run the mining machines.”
