States of America.
This Proxy Statement and the proxy form can be
accessed, free of charge, on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at http://ir.btcm.group/.
Record Date, Share Ownership and Quorum
Only holders of the Company’s Class A
ordinary shares, par value US$0.00005 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), Class B ordinary shares, par
value US$0.00005 per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) and Class A preference shares, par value US$0.00005
per share (“Class A Preference Shares” and together with Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary
Shares, “Shares”) of record at the close of business on December 20, 2024, New York time (the “Record
Date”) are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM. Holders of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) issued
by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and representing the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to attend or
vote at the AGM. These holders of ADSs will be able to instruct Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the holder of record of such Class A
Ordinary Shares (through a nominee), as to how to vote the Class A Ordinary Shares which are represented by such ADSs, and which
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary of the ADSs, will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to
vote or cause to be voted at the AGM in accordance with the instructions which it has properly received from such ADS holders.
One or more shareholders holding in aggregate
not less than one-third of the voting power of the Shares of the Company in issue carrying a right to vote at such meeting, present in
person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy and entitled to vote
shall be a quorum for all purposes.
Voting and Solicitation
Each Class A Ordinary Share, Class B
Ordinary Share and Class A Preference Share issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to
one vote, ten votes and 10,000 votes, respectively, on a poll. On a show of hands, every shareholder present in person and every person
representing a shareholder by proxy shall each have one vote. A resolution put to the vote at the AGM will be decided on by a show of
hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) a poll is demanded by (i) the chairman of the AGM,
or (ii) any one or more shareholders, holding one-tenth of the paid-up Shares given a right to vote at such meeting or one-tenth
of the total voting rights entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a shareholder being a corporation
or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or by proxy.
Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished
to all holders of Shares and ADSs of the Company, including banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names
Shares or ADSs beneficially owned by others to forward to those beneficial owners.
Voting by Holders of Shares
When proxy forms are properly dated, executed
and returned by holders of Shares, the Shares they represent will be voted by the proxy holder at the AGM, or at any adjournment thereof,
in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder. If no specific instructions are given in such proxy forms, the proxy holder will
vote in the discretion of such proxy holder and, where the chairman of the AGM is the proxy holder, he will vote in favor of the items
set forth in the proxy form. The proxy holder will also vote in the discretion of such proxy holder on any other matters that may properly
come before the AGM, or at any adjournment thereof. Abstentions by holders of Shares are not included in the determination of the number
of Shares present and voting for the purposes of determining whether such resolution has been passed (but will be counted for the purposes
of determining the quorum, as described above).
Voting by Holders of ADSs
As the holder of record for all the Class A
Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs (through a nominee), only Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas may vote those Class A Ordinary
Shares at the AGM.
We have requested Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as depositary of the ADSs, to distribute to all owners of ADSs at the close of business on the Record Date this proxy statement,
the accompanying notice of annual general meeting and an ADS voting card. Upon the timely receipt from an owner of record of ADSs of written
voting instructions in the manner specified, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally
permissible, to vote or cause to be voted the number of Class A Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with such voting
instructions. Under the terms of the deposit agreement for the ADSs (the “Deposit Agreement”), Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with such voting instructions or such
deemed instructions as further described below.
There is no guarantee that holders of the ADSs
or any such holder in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable such holder to return any voting
instructions to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in a timely manner, in which case the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying your
ADSs may not be voted in accordance with your wishes.
If (i) an ADS voting card is missing voting
instructions, (ii) an ADS voting card is improperly completed or (iii) no ADS voting card is received by Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas by 10 a.m. (New York City time), January 6, 2025, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will deem such holder
of ADSs to have instructed it to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote the Class A Ordinary Shares
represented by such holder’s ADSs, unless the Company has informed Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas that such proxy should not
be given, in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement.
Revocability of Proxies and ADS Voting Cards
Any proxy given by a holder of Shares by means
of a proxy form, and any voting instructions given by an ADS holder by means of an ADS voting card, pursuant to this solicitation may
be revoked: (a) for holders of Shares or ADSs, by submitting a written notice of revocation or a fresh proxy form or ADS voting card,
as the case may be, bearing a later date, which must be received no later than at least 48 hours before the time of the AGM, or (b) for
holders of Shares only, by attending the AGM and voting in person.

OF THE COMPANY

of directors recommends a vote “FOR” THE INCREASE OF THE AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY.
