No. 333-274650
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
MicroCloud
Hologram Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) hereby transmits its response to the
letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
dated October 6, 2023 regarding its Form F-3.
Set
forth below are the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments in the Comment Letter. The Staff’s comments are retyped
below in bold for your ease of reference. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that where the Company proposes to add or revise
disclosure in its Registration Statement on Form F-3 in response to the Staff’s comments, the changes to be made will be subject
to relevant factual updates and changes in relevant laws or regulations, or in interpretations thereof.
Form
F-3 filed September 22, 2023

It appears that the officers, directors and significant shareholders hold 91.25% of the 50,812,035
ordinary shares but you indicate that 30,696,307 ordinary shares are held by non-affiliates.
Please tell us how you calculated your public float and the number of shares held by non-affiliates.
According
to Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act of 1934, an affiliate is defined as “.
. . a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control
with, the person specified.”
The
Company is aware that typical examples of affiliates include executive officers, directors, large shareholders, subsidiaries, parent
entities and sister companies of the issuer and its affiliates. The Company understands that the determination of whether a “person”
is affiliated with the issuer is a facts and circumstances test, and two entities may be affiliated even when one owns less than a majority
of the voting shares of the other. In the securities context, although there is no bright-line test that determines affiliate status,
the Company is aware that the general consensus is that officers, directors and 10% equity ownership of an issuer are generally presumed
to be affiliates of that issuer.
In response to the Staff’s
query, in accordance with the definition above and analysis of the facts and circumstances which may lead the Company to determine
that non-executive shareholders owning less than 10% of our ordinary shares may be deemed affiliates, the Company calculated its
public float (and shares owned by non-affiliates) by subtracting the market value of ordinary shares held by our officers, directors
and the beneficial owners of more than 10 percent as of September 16, 2023, from the market value of the total ordinary shares
outstanding as last reported in our annual report on Form 10-K on March 14, 2023 (as amended). As a result of our calculation, the
Company has determined that the public float is approximately $54,038,230, based on 30,021,239 ordinary shares owned by
non-affiliates.
In
the Company’s initial filing of the Registration Statement on Form F-3, which provided that the total number of ordinary shares
held by non-affiliates was 30,696,307, the Company inadvertently failed to account for a number of shares owned by certain affiliate.
The
Company has revised the disclosure in the Form F-3 on the Cover Page, as follows:
“The
aggregate market value of our outstanding ordinary shares held by non-affiliates as of September 16, 2023 is approximately $54,038,230,
based on 30,021,239 ordinary shares held by non-affiliates as of such date, and a closing price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq
Capital Market was $1.80 on September 16, 2023. As of the date hereof, we have not sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction
I.B.5 of Form F-3 during the period of twelve calendar months immediately prior to and including the date hereof.”
