Nature of Business and Organization [Abstract] |
Nature of Business and Organization | Note 1 – Nature of Business and Organization GD Culture Group Limited (“GDC” or the “Company”), formerly known as Code Chain New Continent Limited, is a Nevada corporation and a holding company. The Company currently conducts its operations through the Company and its subsidiary, AI Catalysis Corp. (“AI Catalysis”). Historically, the Company’s business focused on artificial intelligence-driven digital human creation and customization as well as live streaming and e-commerce activities. The Company has recently begun adjusting its strategic direction and has been scaling back certain artificial intelligence-related initiatives while evaluating new opportunities to utilize its existing artificial intelligence and virtual content generation technologies. As part of this strategic transition, the Company is expanding into the interactive reading and narrative entertainment market. The Company’s subsidiaries, Citi Profit Investment Holding Limited (“Citi Profit BVI”), Highlights Culture Holding Co., Limited (“Highlight HK”), Shanghai Highlight Entertainment Co., Ltd. (“Highlight WFOE”) are holding companies with no material operations. The Company’s subsidiary, Shanghai Xianzhui Technology Co., Ltd. (“SH Xianzhui”), previously engaged in marketing-related services but does not currently conduct business operations and has no material operating activities. SH Xianzhui was incorporated by Highlight WFOE and two other shareholders on August 10, 2023. SH Xianzhui is principally engaged in the provision of social media marketing agency service. Highlight WFOE initially owned 60% of the total equity interest of SH Xianzhui. On October 27, 2023, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement with Highlight WFOE and Beijing Hehe Property Management Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Hehe”), which was amended on November 10, 2023 (such equity purchase agreement, as amended, the “Agreement” for purpose of this section “Investment in JV”), pursuant to which the Highlight WFOE agreed to purchase 13.3333% of the equity interest in SH Xianzhui from Beijing Hehe and the Company agreed to issue 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $2.7820 per share, the average closing bid price of the common stock of GDC as of the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the Agreement, to Beijing Hehe or its assigns. On January 11, 2024, the Company issued the 400,000 shares of its common stock, at the price of $2.5 per share, to Beijing Hehe and the transaction was completed. As of December 31, 2025, the Company owns 73.3333% of the total equity interest of SH Xianzhui. AI Catalysis is a Nevada corporation, incorporated on May 18, 2023. AI Catalysis is expected to bridge the realms of the internet, media, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies. Positioned at the crossroads of traditional and streaming media, AI Catalysis plans to elevate the experience of media with AI-based interactive and smart content, aiming to transform the whole media landscape. Acquisition of Pallas On September 8, 2025, the Company (the “Acquirer”), Pallas Capital Holding Ltd, a British Virgin Islands company incorporated on June 30, 2025 (“Pallas” or the “Target”), and the shareholders of the Target (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) executed an agreement and plan of securities exchange (the “Share Exchange Agreement”, and the transactions contemplated thereby, collectively, the “Pallas Transaction”), pursuant to which, the Sellers wish to sell to the Acquirer, and the Acquirer wishes to purchase from the Sellers, 100% interest in and to the ordinary shares of the Target (the “Target Shares”). In exchange for the Target Shares, the Acquirer shall issue an aggregate of 39,189,344 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “GDC Shares”) to such Sellers. On September 29, 2025, the Sellers transferred to Acquirer 10,000 shares of Target Shares, being all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Target, and received in exchange certificates representing the 39,189,344 GDC Shares. Thereafter, Pallas became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pallas was established for the primary purpose of holding digital assets as a long-term reserve, with the objective of achieving potential appreciation in value. As of December 31, 2025, Pallas held 7,500 units of Bitcoin. Two shareholders of the Company, who beneficially own 12.86%, in the aggregate, of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, immediately before the execution of the Pallas Transaction, also serve as the directors and share voting and dispositive power over the shares issued by the Target. Accordingly, the Transaction constitutes a related party transaction for the Company pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. Referring to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 805-10-55-5, the Company applied two steps (including step 1, screen test and step 2, evaluation of process and input) in evaluating whether the acquisition was an asset acquisition or a business combination. Pallas had no operations except for holding Bitcoin as a reserve, and substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in its Bitcoin. Therefore, the Company decided that Pallas cannot constitute a business and such Pallas Transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition. The purchase consideration is measured based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock issued and the consideration is further allocated to the value of the asset acquired in the transaction. Given the related party nature of the Pallas Transaction and the fact that the acquired digital assets are highly liquid and have observable market prices, which indicated that the fair value of the assets acquired is far higher than the fair value of the common stock issued, management concluded that the such Pallas transaction indicated a capital contribution from the shareholders. Accordingly, the excess of the fair value of the digital assets acquired over the fair value of the common stock issued should be recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital and the value of the assets acquired, which was concurrently with the determination of the value of the assets acquired under asset acquisition.
