| I. | All Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable under all such laws as govern or relate to them other than the PRC Laws. |
| J. | All required consents, licenses, permits, approvals, exemptions or authorizations required of or by, and any required registrations or filings with, any governmental authority or regulatory body of any jurisdiction other than of the PRC in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Registration Statement have been obtained or made, or where such required consents, license, permits, approvals, exemptions or authorizations have not been obtained or made as of the date hereof, no circumstance will cause or result in any failure for the same to be obtained or made. |
We make no representation that we have independently investigated or verified any of the matters that we have assumed for the purposes of the Opinion, and, by accepting the Opinion, you acknowledge not to have requested, or relied on, any such independent investigation or verification by us. For the purpose of this Opinion, our “knowledge” (or any similar concept) with respect to any matter means (a) the actual knowledge regarding such matter of the particular attorneys who are presently employees or partners of JT&N based on the Documents and the Public Records; and (b) that we make no representation that we have undertaken any review of other files or other independent investigation with respect to any such matter.
| III. | OPINIONS |
Based on the foregoing, to the best of our knowledge after due and reasonable inquiry, we are of the opinion, subject to the Limitations and Qualifications set forth in the Opinion, that:
| A. | The Offering by the Company is not subject to the Trial Measures or the Confidentiality Provisions. |
| 1. | Trial Measures |
The Trial Measures applies to both direct and indirect overseas securities offering and listing by PRC domestic companies. In accordance with Article 2 of the Trial Measures, (a) a direct overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies is defined as an overseas offering and listing by a joint-stock company incorporated domestically (meaning, in Chinese mainland); and, (b) an indirect overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies refers to an overseas offering and listing by a PRC domestic company in the name of an overseas incorporated entity whose major business operations are located domestically, based on the underlying equity, assets, earnings, or any other similar rights of PRC domestic companies.
Based on the Documents, the Offering is not deemed as a direct overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies under the Trial Measures, because the Company is not a joint-stock company incorporated in the PRC but a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

Pursuant to Article 15 of the Trial Measures, an overseas offering and listing will be deemed an “indirect” overseas offering and listing if both of the following criteria are met: (i) 50% or more of the company’s operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets, as reflected in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, is attributable to PRC domestic enterprises; and, (ii) the principal aspects of the company’s business activities are conducted in Chinese mainland, its principal place(s) of business are located in Chinese mainland, or a majority of the senior management personnel responsible for its business operations and management are Chinese citizens or have their habitual residence in Chinese mainland. Article 15 further stipulates that the determination as to whether or not an overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies is deemed indirect shall be made on a “substance over form” basis.
Based on the Documents and as confirmed by the Company, as of the date of the Opinion, the corporate structure of the Company is shown as below:

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, substantially all of the Company’s revenue was generated through its two subsidiaries incorporated in the United States, Abit USA, Inc. and Abits Inc (together, the “Operating Subsidiaries”). Bitmatrix did not generate any revenue and suffered loss. Abits US Holdings Inc was incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States on August 25, 2026, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and thus, it was not included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
As the Company incurred a consolidated loss before tax for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not have positive “profit before tax” for purposes of the financial threshold under Article 15 of the Trial Measures. For reference, for the same fiscal year, Bitmatrix’s loss before tax represented only 6.42% of the Company’s consolidated loss before tax, while Bitmatrix’s total assets and net assets represented only 2.21% and 2.72%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated total assets and net assets.

![]() | PRC Legal Opinion Abits Group Inc |
Based on the Documents and Public Records, and as confirmed by the Company, as of the date of the Opinion, the Company, Abit Hong Kong Limited, and Abits US Holdings Inc serve solely as holding companies and do not have substantial business operations. The Company conducts its principal businesses, namely, digital data center operation and bitcoin mining, through the Operating Subsidiaries, and substantially all of the Company’s revenue generating operations are conducted by them. The Company’s PRC subsidiary, Bitmatrix, has no external business operations; instead, it solely provides limited in-house administrative supports to the Company and its subsidiaries, which can be easily outsourced and replaced. Thus, the Company’s principal place of business is located in the United States, not in the PRC.
Further, based on the Documents and as confirmed by the Company, as of the date of the Opinion, the members of senior management in charge of the Company’s business operations and management, are as follows:
| Name | Position | Nationality | Habitual Residence | |||
| Stephen Faucetta | Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer | United States | United States | |||
| Kai Zhang | Chief Financial Officer | China | Chinese Mainland | |||
| Philip J. Hicks | General Manager – North America | United States | United States |
Based on the above, the majority of the senior management staff in charge of the Company’s business operations and management are U.S. citizens residing in the United States.
Based on the foregoing, we are of opinion that, as of the date of this Opinion, the Offering by the Company does not fall with the scope of “indirect overseas offering and listing by PRC companies” as stipulated in the Trial Measures, because: (i) Bitmatrix, the Company’s only PRC subsidiary, did not generate any revenue, and account for less than 3% of the Company’s total assets and net assets in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025; and, although the Company incurred a consolidated loss before tax for the most recent fiscal year, Bitmatrix’s loss before tax represented only 6.42% of the Company’s consolidated loss before tax for such fiscal year; (ii) the Company’s major business activities are not conducted in the PRC but in the United States; and, (iii) the majority of the senior management staff in charge of the Company’s business operations and management are neither Chinese citizens nor habitual residents of Chinese mainland.
In sum, as of the date of the Opinion, the Offering by the Company is not deemed as a direct or indirect overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies, and thus, the Company and Bitmatrix are not subject to the relevant CSRC filing requirements under the Trial Measures for the Offering.

| 2. | Confidentiality Provisions |
The Confidentiality Provisions is formulated to, in the interest of safeguarding economic security and public interest, regulate the confidentiality and archives administration related to overseas securities offering and listing activities, by direct or indirect means, of PRC domestic companies, which shall have the same meaning as stipulated in the Trial Measures, based on the Revision Notes to the Confidentiality Provisions. The Confidentiality Provisions require a PRC domestic company seeking overseas offering and listing to institute a sound confidentiality and archives system in connection with its overseas securities offering and listing. Further, if such a PRC domestic company intends to publicly disclose, or provide to relevant individuals or entities participating in its overseas offering and listing activities, such as securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators, any documents and materials that contain state secrets or secrets of government agencies, or any documents and materials that, once leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, it shall undertake relevant procedures (including but not limited to, obtain approval from competent authorities and make the relevant filing with the competent secrecy administrative department) prior to its disclosure or provisions of such documents and materials, as required by the relevant PRC laws and regulations relating to archives, state secrets, and national security.
As previously discussed, the Offering by the Company would not be deemed a direct or indirect overseas offering and listing by a PRC domestic company, and thus, the Confidentiality Provisions, including the relevant requirements thereunder, would not apply to the Company or Bitmatrix for the Offering. Further, based on the Public Records and as confirmed by the Company and Bitmatrix, the Company and/or Bitmatrix have not been identified as entities in possession of state secrets, secrets of government agencies, or any documents and materials that, once leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest. The Company and Bitmatrix have further confirmed that they do not possess any documents or materials in this regard. Therefore, the Company and Bitmatrix are not required to obtain any permissions or approvals for the Offering or their business operations under the Confidentiality Provisions or other relevant PRC Laws relating to archives, state secrets, and national security.
Therefore, we are of the opinion that, (i) the Company and Bitmatrix are not subject to the Confidentiality Provisions to operate their business or to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors, and (ii) the Company and Bitmatrix are not required to obtain any permissions or approvals under the Confidentiality Provisions or any other applicable PRC Laws relating to archives, state secretes, and national security.
| B. | The Company and Bitmatrix are not required to apply for a cybersecurity review, a data security assessment, a national security review, or any other regulatory approvals relating to cybersecurity, data security, or data outbound transfer in connection with the Offering. |
| 1. | Cybersecurity Review |
The Cybersecurity Review Measures requires in Article 2 that, (i) the purchase of network products and services by a critical information infrastructure operator, or a CIIO, or (ii) the data processing activities carries out by online platform operators which affects or may affect national security, shall be subject to cybersecurity review. Further, Article 7 stipulates that online platform operators holding over one million users’ personal information shall apply for a cybersecurity review prior to any public offering on a foreign stock exchange. Under the DSL, data processing includes, among others, the collection, storage, use, manipulation, transfer, supply, and disclosure of data.

Pursuant to the Regulations on Security Protection for Critical Information Infrastructure (the “CII Protection Regulations”), promulgated by the State Council on April 27, 2021, and effective on September 1, 2021, critical information infrastructure refer to important network facilities and information systems in important industries and fields, such as public telecommunications, information services, energy, transportation, water conservancy, finance, public services, e-government and national defense technology, as well as other important network facilities and information systems that, in case of destruction, loss of function or leak of data, may result in serious damage to national security, the national economy and the people’s livelihood and public interests. Further, under the CII Protection Regulations, the identification of critical information infrastructure shall be carried out by the competent PRC governmental authorities in the industries and fields, and the relevant identification results shall be promptly notified to the operators of such critical information infrastructure.
As confirmed by the Company, as of the date of the Opinion, the Company, Abit Hong Kong Limited and Abits US Holdings Inc serve solely as holding companies and do not have substantial business operations. The Company conducts its principal businesses in the U.S, namely, digital data center operation and bitcoin mining, through the Operating Subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the United States do not conduct any data processing activities or operate any online platforms in the PRC.
Bitmatrix solely operates to provide limited in-house administrative supports to the Company in Chinese mainland. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries operates important network facilities and information systems in important industries and fields as stipulated in the CII Protection Regulations, or in any other important industries or fields where the destruction of such facilities or systems, loss of their functionality or leakage of data could result in serious harm to national security, the national economy, people’s livelihoods or the public interest.
Further, based on the Public Records and as confirmed by the Company and Bitmatrix, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have been identified as a CIIO, or been notified that it may be identified as a CIIO, by any relevant PRC governmental authority, nor has any such entity received any notice, inquiry or investigation in this regard. Accordingly, we are of the opinion that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a CIIO under the CII Protection Regulations.
Based on the Public Records and as confirmed by the Company and Bitmatrix, Bitmatrix does not operate any online platforms. In providing in-house administrative support to the Company, Bitmatrix conducts data processing activities, primarily involving the collection, storage, and processing of its employees’ personal information for employment purpose, and the processing of financial data of Bitmatrix and the Company for the purpose of providing accounting and bookkeeping support to the Company. As of the date of the Opinion, Bitmatrix has six employees and does not control personal information relating to more than one million individuals. Further, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement for a cybersecurity review.

Based on the foregoing, we are of opinion that, as of the date of the Opinion, neither the Company nor Bitmatrix is required to apply for a cybersecurity review in connection with the Offering under the Cybersecurity Review Measures, because (i) neither the Company nor its subsidiaries has been deemed as a CIIO as stipulated in the CII Protection Regulations, and (ii) Bitmatrix is not an online platform operator holding over one million users’ personal information.
| 2. | Data Security Assessment for Outbound Transfer |
The Data Outbound Transfer Measures applies to the outbound transfer of important data as defined by the relevant PRC governmental authorities and personal information collected and generated by a data processor in its operation in the PRC, and requires data processors to apply to the competent cyberspace department for a data security assessment and clearance of outbound data transfers in certain circumstances. To promote cross-border data transfer, the CAC issued the Regulations on Promoting and Regulating Cross-Border Data Flows on March 22, 2024, effective on the same day (the “Data Flow Regulations”), which relaxes the control over the cross-border transfer of non-sensitive personal information, and exempts certain common international affairs scenarios from cross-border transfer of personal information.
In accordance with the Data Outbound Transfer Measures, the Data Flow Regulations, and the relevant guidelines issued by the CAC in this regard, a data processor shall apply for a data security assessment and clearance of outbound data transfers in either of the following circumstances: (a) outbound transfer of personal information or important data by a CIIO; or (b) outbound transfer of important data by a non-CIIO data processor, or personal information by such a non-CIIO data processor who has made outbound transfers of more than one million users’ personal information (not including sensitive personal information), or more than 10,000 users’ sensitive personal information cumulatively since January 1 of the current year.
As stated above, as of the date of this Opinion, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the United States conduct any data processing activities within the PRC. Bitmatrix conducts data processing activities in its operation in the PRC, including the processing of personal information, but it does not process any important data, or personal information of large number of individuals. In fact, Bitmatrix processes personal information, sensitive or not, of its current and previous employees only, and Bitmatrix has had only a few employees thus far, far less than 10,000 individuals.
Further, the data that Bitmatrix has transferred outbound as of the date of this Opinion solely relates to corporate records for the purpose of fulfilling the Company’s regulatory disclosure requirements as a U.S.-listed company, including financial data of the Company and/or Bitmatrix, and certain non-sensitive personal information of Bitmatrix’s employees (such as name, age, and resumes of such employees). The Company confirmed that, it is anticipated that for at least the next three years, Bitmatrix will not conduct data processing activities, including data transfer, of any important data, or personal information of more than 10,000 individuals cumulatively.

Based on the foregoing, we are of opinion that, as of the date of this Opinion, the Company and Bitmatrix are not required to apply for a data security assessment for outbound transfer under the Data Outbound Transfer Measures and the Data Flow Regulations, as (i) Bitmatrix has not been deemed as a CIIO by any competent PRC governmental authorities, (ii) it does not process any important data or more than 10,000 individuals’ personal information, and (iii) the personal information that Bitmatrix has transferred outbound excludes sensitive personal information and is for regulatory disclosure purpose only.
| 3. | Network Data Security Regulations |
The Network Data Security Regulations apply to network data processing activities (i.e., the processing of data generated through networks) within the PRC, as well as such activities conducted outside the PRC that harm national security or the public interest, or infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of citizens or organizations. The Network Data Security Regulations also apply to personal information processing activities conducted outside the PRC where such activities fall within the scope of the PIPL, as discussed below. The Network Data Security Regulations provide that the general cybersecurity and data security requirements under the Cybersecurity Law, the DSL and the PIPL apply to network data processing activities, and establish additional requirements for different types of data processors, including personal information processors, network data processors, important data processors and network platform service providers, in addition to the requirements under the relevant PRC Laws relating to cybersecurity, data security and personal information protection.
Under the Network Data Security Regulations, a network data processor who carries out network data processing activities that affect or may affect national security shall undergo a national security review in accordance with relevant regulations. In addition, important data processors, processors of large amount of personal information (meaning over 10 million individuals), and large network platform service providers (i.e., those that (i) have more than 50 million registered users or more than 10 million monthly active users, (ii) have complex business types, and (iii) their network data processing activities may have significant impact on PRC national security, economic operations, and public welfare), shall be subject to additional and more stringent reporting and security assessment requirements.
As confirmed by the Company, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the United States conducts any data processing activities within the PRC, or data processing activities outside the PRC that may harm national security or the public interests, or infringe upon the legitimate interests of PRC citizens or organizations. Further, the Operating Subsidiaries do not process outside the PRC any personal information of PRC domestic individuals as stipulated in the PIPL. Accordingly, based on the foregoing and the information confirmed by the Company, the Company and its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the United States are not subject to the Network Data Security Regulations.

![]() | PRC Legal Opinion Abits Group Inc |
On the other hand, as of the date of the Opinion, Bitmatrix conducts network data processing activities, including the processing of personal information, for its operation in the PRC, but it does not process large amount of personal data or any important data and such network data processing activities do not affect national security. It is not a network platform service provider as it does not operate any network platform. Based on the Public Records and as confirmed by Company and Bitmatrix, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries have been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement for a national review or any reporting and/or security assessment under the Network Data Security Regulations.
Based on the foregoing, we are of opinion that, while Bitmatrix is subject to the Network Data Security Regulations for its business operation in general, it is not subject to a national security review, or any reporting and/or security assessment requirements that are designated to important data processors, processors of large amount of personal information, or large network platform service providers thereunder.
In sum, based on our understanding of the PRC Laws effective as of the date of the Opinion, there is no PRC Laws relating to cybersecurity, data security, or data outbound transfer that may require the Company and/or Bitmatrix to obtain any regulatory approvals in connection with the Offering or their business operations.
| C. | Bitmatrix is subject to the DSL and the PIPL, whereas the Company and its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the United States, including the Operating subsidiaries, are not. |
The DSL applies to data processing activities and security supervision within the territory of the PRC. It may also apply to data processing activities conducted outside the PRC where such activities harm national security or the public interests, or infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of PRC citizens and organizations, in circumstances where legal liability may be pursued. The PIPL applies to personal information processing activities within the PRC, and may also apply to such activities conducted outside the PRC if they are (i) for the purpose of providing products or services to PRC domestic individuals, (ii) for the purpose of analyzing or evaluating the behavior of PRC domestic individuals, or (iii) conducted under other circumstances prescribed by laws or administrative regulations.
As stated above, Bitmatrix conducts certain data processing activities within the PRC, including the processing of personal information. By contrast, as confirmed by the Company, the Company and its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the United States do not conduct any data processing activities within the PRC. Further, as confirmed by the Company, as of the date of the Opinion, the Operating Subsidiaries do not process outside the PRC any personal information of PRC domestic individuals, for the purpose of providing products or services to such PRC domestic individuals or analyzing or evaluating their behaviors.
Based on the foregoing, we are of opinion that, as of the date of this Opinion, Bitmatrix is subject to the DSL and the PIPL in connection with its business operations, whereas the Company and its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the United States are not. Further, based on the Documents and Public Records and as confirmed by the Company and Bitmatrix, as of the date of this Opinion, (i) Bitmatrix has not been found in violation of any PRC Laws relating to cybersecurity or data security, including, without limitation, the DSL, the PIPL, the Cybersecurity Review Measures, the Network Data Security Regulations, the Data Outbound Transfer Measures, and the Data Flow Regulations, and (ii) Bitmatrix has not been found subject to any actual, pending or threatened inquiry, investigation, warning, penalty, lawsuit, arbitration or administrative proceeding under any PRC Laws relating to cybersecurity or data security.

| D. | There is uncertainty as to whether the PRC courts would enforce judgments of United States courts or British Virgin Islands courts obtained against directors and officers of the Company predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal and state securities laws. |
Pursuant to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments based on treaties between the PRC and the country in which the judgment was rendered or, in the absence of such treaties, on the principle of reciprocity, subject to the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law. As of the date of this Opinion, there are no treaties between the PRC and the United States or the British Virgin Islands providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments, and it remains uncertain whether PRC courts would recognize and enforce judgments from courts in the United States or the British Virgin Islands on the basis of reciprocity.
In addition, under the PRC Civil Procedure Law, PRC courts will not recognize and enforce a foreign judgment if they determine that doing so would violate the basic principles of PRC law or the sovereignty, security or public interest of the PRC. Accordingly, it is uncertain whether, and on what basis, a PRC court would recognize and enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or the British Virgin Islands against the Company’s directors and officers, including a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws.
| E. | Statements in the Registration Statement |
As of the date of this Opinion, the statements set forth in the Registration Statement on the cover page and under the captions “Prospectus Summary,” “About Our Company,” “Risk Factors,” “Legal Matters” and “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities,” and elsewhere in the Registration Statement, insofar as such statements relate to the PRC Laws or describe matters governed by the PRC Laws (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial data contained therein, as to which we express no opinion), are true and accurate in all material respects and fairly present and summarize the information and matters referred to therein. We have no reason to believe that any material fact has been omitted from such statements that is necessary to make such statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect.
| IV. | LIMITATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS |
| A. | In giving this Opinion, we have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to financial or auditing matters of each document we have reviewed, and have relied upon opinions or reports issued by auditors and accountants of the Company and/or its subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, we render no opinion as to and are not responsible for (a) tax structuring or tax matters, or (b) financial, appraisal or accounting matters. |
