Hi, thank you for the presentation. My question is, what is the company's long-term strategic plan regarding its BNB holdings?
[Non-English content]
[Non-English content]
After comprehensively evaluating the development trends of crypto assets and the long-term potential of BNB, our company has designated BNB as a core component of its crypto asset strategic reserves. Over the long term, we plan to continue holding BNB and to gradually increase our holding at appropriate times, maintaining a relatively stable reserve level. This strategy is expected to enhance the company's crypto asset allocation capabilities while strengthening synergies with the Web 3 ecosystem, thereby providing a solid asset foundation for the company's long-term strategic development.
Okay, thank you.

[Non-English content]
[Non-English content]
Thank you. In October 2025, we announced a share repurchase program of up to $25 million based on the following considerations. First, to enhance shareholder value and deliver long term returns. Second, to demonstrate management's positive outlook on the company's long term development. Third, to signal confidence in the company's long term growth and operations to the capital markets. The company will implement the repurchase program in a steady and disciplined manner over time, taking into account market conditions and capital allocation plans. Thank you.
Thank you. My second question, what was the rationale behind the launch of the iPollo ClawPC A1 Mini product?

Thank you. As you may know, one of the most prominent concepts in the AI space today is Open Claw. The iPollo ClawPC A1 Mini is the company's next generation AI agent hardware product designed to support the Open Claw AI agent system. We believe that AI agents are likely to become a key form of next generation intelligent applications, and have therefore chosen to proactively invest in the related infrastructure. Our company has already gained significant brand visibility in the market with the product sales and ecosystem development progressing steadily. Going forward, we plan to launch the Cloud OS system and additional agent hardware products to support a full-chain AI agent ecosystem. Thank you.
