GUANGZHOU, China — Chinese video platform Bilibili will raise around $2.6 billion in its upcoming Hong Kong listing.
The Nasdaq-listed technology company said on Tuesday that it will price the 25 million shares it will issue at 808 Hong Kong dollars each. That translates to around $104.06 per American depositary share (ADS), Bilibili said.
Gross proceeds from the listing are expected to be 20.2 billion Hong Kong dollars ($2.6 billion). That figure could rise if the underwriting investment banks decide to trigger the so-called over-allotment option to issue another 3.75 million shares.

In October, CNBC reported Bilibili's secondary listing could raise up to $1.5 billion. Then that figure jumped to over $2 billion as Bilibili's Nasdaq-listed shares continued to rally. The U.S. stock is up over 400% compared to one year ago.
Bilibili makes money through mobile gaming and selling virtual gifts to users who then give them to their favorite live streamers.
