Toronto, Ontario — January 29, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Blockchain Venture Capital Inc. (CSE: BVCI) has announced a joint venture agreement with Shin Nieh Group to explore forming a potential joint venture.
The arrangement with Shin Nieh Group, a global investment firm based in New York City and registered in the Cayman Islands, is subject to due diligence and definitive documentation.
Shin Nieh Group focuses on digital assets, capital markets, and cultural industry investments.
The parties are considering establishing a jointly owned entity registered in the British Virgin Islands, with a contemplated ownership structure of approximately 49%–51%. The establishment is subject to completing due diligence, regulatory registrations, and required approvals in relevant jurisdictions.
The proposed joint venture would concentrate on global compliant real-world asset (RWA) initiatives in the mining and mineral sectors, TradeFi infrastructure, cross-border payment solutions (DePay), and related digital financial services. BVCI’s proprietary BVCChain, BVCPay, stablecoins infrastructure, OTC digital asset trading capabilities, and selected trading strategies and execution frameworks would be leveraged through the collaboration.
The framework remains subject to mutual due diligence, definitive documentation, and regulatory approvals. There is no assurance that a definitive agreement or joint venture will be completed.
BVCI confirmed that its existing business operations in Canada and the United States will remain unchanged.
Further announcements will be made as discussions progress.
Blockchain Venture Capital Inc. is an Ontario-incorporated company registered as a Money Services Business (MSB) with FINTRAC. It provides blockchain-based financial infrastructure, including:
BVC Chain, a proprietary blockchain and distributed-ledger platform.
BVCPay, a mobile wallet enabling digital transactions using Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the CADT stablecoin.
Trillium Coin, a Bitcoin OTC trading service.
CADT, BVCI’s native digital currency, is intended to be a Canadian dollar-backed stablecoin designed for payments, settlements, digital-asset issuance, and ledger services. Unless and until BVCI obtains all necessary regulatory approvals or qualifies for exemptions, there is no assurance that it will be able to proceed with its CADT-related initiatives.
The company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved updated board and staff incentive stock options to replace certain previously expired incentive options. An aggregate of 2,000,000 common share purchase options have been approved for issuance to certain directors and staff, at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, being the closing price of the Company’s common shares on January 28, 2026.
The options have a two-year term and vest on a time-based schedule, with 50% vesting after 12 months and 100% vesting after 24 months. The Board determined that the issuance of the options will not materially affect control of the Company and forms part of the Company’s long-term equity incentive and retention strategy, subject to applicable regulatory and exchange approvals, if required.
