Abstract
This paper examines the impact of blockchain investments on the market performance of Chinese listed companies. By utilizing event study methodology and data from 208 listed companies that made blockchain investment announcements between 2008 and 2023, the findings indicate that such announcements have a significant positive effect on short-term market value, but this effect diminishes over time. Furthermore, companies with greater scale and more robust innovation capabilities are able to attain higher stock prices and returns. This positive market response is evident across various industries, with industry distinctions having minimal impact on the market performance of corporate blockchain investment.
