On June 12, HashKey Holdings Limited (referred to as “HashKey” or “the Company”; Stock Code: 3887) issued a voluntary statement on June 11, announcing that its board of directors has approved using up to HK$100 million of its own cash (excluding proceeds from the Company’s global offering) to repurchase shares on the open market.

The move is not only aimed at creating long-term value for shareh
