Several traders have disclosed that DeepSeek is on the verge of finalizing its second round of financing. Initially, the planned fundraising target was set at 50 billion yuan; however, this figure has now surged to approximately 100 billion yuan, marking a remarkable doubling of the proposed amount in less than two weeks. Both new and existing shareholders are slated to contribute equally to this investment endeavor. Despite the substantial increase in the financing scale, DeepSeek's pre-investment valuation remains steady at around 500 billion yuan. According to traders from multiple independent sources, the new investors participating in this round are predominantly industrial investors, including Shixi Capital, SCC Capital, CPE Source Peak, Legend Capital, and Geely. Concurrently, the old shareholders who took part in the first round are continuing their investment in this round as well, such as CATL, Tencent, IDG Capital, Lix Capital, and Shixiang Capital. Notably, CATL intends to augment its investment by approximately 10 billion yuan, following its initial contribution of around 5 billion yuan in the first round.
