earned on financial products issued by banks and other financial institutions and the fair value changes of investments. We had a net investment loss of RMB470.1 million and RMB242.3 million (US$34.6 million) in
2024 and 2025, respectively, which were primarily attributable to impairment charges of RMB486.5 million and RMB320.7 million related to equity investments using the measurement
alternative for 2024 and 2025, respectively, partially offset by the returns earned by the Company’s short-term investments in financial products issued by banks or shares of publicly traded companies amounting to
RMB69.5 million and RMB77.1 million in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that, as disclosed in “Note 9. Long-term Investments, Net” on page F-46 under the subheading “Equity investments using the measurement alternative”, the impairment charges for long-term investments of RMB320.7 million recorded in “Investment
loss, net (including impairments)” for the year ended December 31, 2025 were attributable to certain investees’ unsatisfactory financial performance with no obvious upturn or potential financing solutions in the foreseeable future,
and therefore the Group determined the fair value of these investments was less than their carrying value.

 Refer to the rate reconciliation table under (a). We note the disaggregation of the reconciling items by

Mainland. Please explain how the rate differential is a positive 4.5% in light of the lower rate in Hong Kong.

 The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Group’s income tax rate
reconciliation starts from the statutory income tax rate of 25% in the Chinese mainland. In 2025, the Group’s subsidiaries in Chinese Hong Kong incurred an aggregate loss before income tax. Accordingly, the positive adjustment of
RMB54,702 thousand or a positive 4.5% primarily reflects the fact that the tax effect attributable to such loss before income tax, computed at the lower corporate income tax rate of 16.5% in Chinese Hong Kong, is less than the tax effect that
would have resulted at the 25% statutory income tax rate in the Chinese mainland.

 Please provide disaggregated disclosures by jurisdiction with respect to your (loss) profit before income
tax expenses. Refer to ASC 740-10-50-10A.

The Company respectfully proposes to provide the following enhanced disclosure in future filings of its annual report on Form 20-F. Page reference is made to the 2025 Form 20-F to illustrate the approximate location of the disclosure (with additions underlined and in italics).

 We note your narrative disclosure of the impairment to your equity investments using measurement alternative
and that the fair values were based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date or other unobservable inputs. In that regard, please provide more detail of the valuation methods or techniques that you used and
consider providing more transparent disclosures using the example within ASC 820-10-55-100. Refer to ASC 820-10-50-2(a).

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the impairment recognized in 2025 related to certain equity investments without readily
determinable fair values, none of which was individually material. When impairment indicators existed, the Company estimated the fair values of these investments in accordance with the principles of ASC 820 and, where applicable, wrote down their
carrying values to fair values, with the difference recorded in “Investment loss, net (including impairments)”. These fair value measurements are classified within non-recurring Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these investments was determined based on valuation methods under the market approach using unobservable inputs including selection of comparable companies and multiples, volatility, and risk-free rate.

 Given that none of the impaired investments was individually material in 2025, the Company

 Non-recurring fair value measurement

The Group measures equity investments accounted for using the equity method at fair value on a
non-recurring basis only if an impairment charge were to be recognized. Equity investments accounted for using the measurement alternative are generally not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. However, if
equity investments without readily determinable fair values were re-measured or impaired during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, they were classified within Level 3 in the fair value
hierarchy because the Group estimated the value of the instruments based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date or other unobservable inputs under the market approach
using unobservable inputs including selection of comparable companies and multiples, volatility, and risk-free rate.

 For the years ended As of December 31, 2024 and 2025,
certain equity investments without determinable fair value (Note 9) were measured using unobservable inputs (Level 3) and were written down from their respective carrying value to fair value, with impairment
charges of RMB486.5 million and RMB320.7 million incurred and recorded in “Investment loss, net (including impairments)” for the years then ended (Note 9). As of December 31,
2025, the remaining amount of these impacted equity investments accounted for using the measurement alternative accounted at fair value on a non-recurring basis was immaterial.

In future annual reports, to the extent that non-recurring Level 3 fair value measurements are
individually material, the Company will further enhance its disclosures to include the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used, including their ranges and weighted averages, in a manner consistent with the example in ASC 820-10-55-100 and the requirements of ASC 820-10-50-2(a).

This letter sets forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the letter dated January 12, 2024 from the staff (the
“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) regarding the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Commission on April 27, 2023 (the

Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Act”) and the associated consequences. Please revise the risk factor provided by the Company as follows:

a.
 The Company’s draft risk factor stated, in conclusory fashion, that “[w]e are not an

 In response to the Staff’s comment, to the extent that the Company’s consolidated
holdings in investment securities are not materially different from its holdings as of June 30, 2023, the Company respectfully proposes to include the requested draft risk factor in its future Form 20-F filings in substantially the following
form (with additions underlined and deletions strikethrough):

 If we are deemed an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, it could adversely affect the price of the ADSs, could constrain our future activities, and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We do not believe that we are not an “investment company” and we do not intend to become registered as
an “investment company” under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), or the Investment Company Act. Certain of our assets and other future holdings may be deemed to be “investment securities” within
the meaning of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, a company is deemed to be an “investment company” if it is engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in
securities. On a consolidated basis, a significant portion of our present assets as of [December 31, 2023] consists of [time deposits and short-term investments held for cash management purposes], which may be deemed to be “investment
securities” within the meaning of 1940 Act. However, We we do not hold ourselves out as being primarily engaged, or proposing to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities.
Rather, we are primarily engaged in the business of building a leading video community for young generations in China.

 We seek to conduct
our operations so that we do not meet the definition of “investment company” under the 1940 Act. Doing so may require us to forego potential future acquisitions of interests in companies that may be deemed to be “investment
securities” within the meaning of the 1940 Act. If we are unable to structure or operate our business in a manner that avoids investment company status under the 1940 Act, we may be deemed to be an investment company within the meaning of the
1940 Act. As a foreign private issuer, we would not be eligible to register under the 1940 Act unless the SEC issued an order permitting us to do so. As a result, if we are deemed to be an investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, we
would either have to obtain exemptive relief from the SEC or dispose of investment securities in order to fall outside the definition of an investment company. Failure to avoid being deemed an investment company under the 1940 Act, coupled with our
inability as a foreign private issuer to register under the 1940 Act, could make us unable to comply with our reporting obligations as a public company in the United States and lead to our being delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which
would materially and adversely affect the liquidity and value of the ADSs. We would also be unable to raise capital through the sale of securities in the United States or to conduct business in the United States. In addition, we may be subject to
SEC enforcement action or purported class action lawsuits for alleged violations of U.S. securities laws. Defending ourselves against any such enforcement action or lawsuits would require significant attention from our management and divert
resources from our existing businesses and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 The Company’s response to prior comment 3 shows that a significant portion of the Company’s total
present assets on a consolidated basis consisted of investment securities as of June 30, 2023.

•

 Please provide a detailed legal analysis as to whether the Company is primarily engaged in the business of
investing, reinvesting or trading in securities under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) when considering the fifth factor under Tonopah, “the nature of the issuer’s
present assets.” Please also advise as to the percentage of the Company’s consolidated assets that consist of investment securities as of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023.

 Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act defines the term “investment
company” to include any issuer which “is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities” (emphasis added). The determination
of an issuer’s primary business engagement requires a fact-specific inquiry. Over the years, the SEC and the courts have developed a number of criteria to be used in determining whether a company is engaged primarily in a non-investment business. The criteria applicable to nearly every situation are: (i) the company’s historical development; (ii) its public representations of policy; (iii) the activities of its
officers and directors; (iv) the sources of its present income; and (v) the nature of its present assets (the “Tonopah Factors”).1

Because the Company does not hold itself out to be an investment company, the relevant consideration is whether the Company is
“primarily” engaged in the investment business. The following sections analyze the application of the five Tonopah Factors to the Company’s business.

Historical Development

The Company first launched its website in June 2009, and the Company commenced commercial operations in 2011 as an online video sharing
platform. The Company established Shanghai Hode Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Hode Information Technology”) to expand its operations in May 2013. In December 2013, Bilibili Inc. was incorporated in the Cayman Islands to serve as the
Company group’s ultimate holding company. In February 2014, the Company established Hode HK Limited (“Hode HK”), a wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, and in September 2014, Hode HK established a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary, Hode
Shanghai Limited (“Hode Shanghai”). Hode Shanghai then entered into a series of contractual arrangements with each of its variable interest entities (“VIEs”), Hode Information Technology and Shanghai Kuanyu Digital Technology
Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Kuanyu”), and their respective shareholders. Chaodian HK Limited (“Chaodian HK”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bilibili Inc., was established in 2019. Chaodian HK’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Chaodian
Shanghai Technology Co., Ltd. (“Chaodian Technology”), subsequently entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Shanghai Chaodian Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (“Chaodian Culture”) and its shareholders pursuant to
which Chaodian Technology became the sole beneficiary of, and gained control of, Chaodian Culture. American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) representing the Company’s Class Z ordinary shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market under the symbol “BILI” on March 28, 2018.

 The Company is a holding company that currently conducts its
business in China mainly through (i) Hode HK and its subsidiaries, Shanghai Bilibili Technology Co., Ltd. (“Bilibili Technology”) and Hode Shanghai, and the VIEs, Shanghai Kuanyu and Hode Information Technology, and its subsidiaries
and (ii) Chaodian HK and its subsidiary, Chaodian Technology, and the VIE, Chaodian Culture. Through its subsidiaries, the VIEs and their subsidiaries (“Consolidated Operating Entities”), the Company offers a leading online video
platform as well as mobile games and anime, comic and audio platforms.

 The Company and the Consolidated Operating Entities maintain significant intellectual
property with respect to its primary business of providing internet cultural activities and information services related to the distribution of online games. For example, as of September 30, 2023, the Company and the Consolidated Operating
Entities have registered approximately 1,203 patents, 2,639 copyrights, 355 domain names including www.bilibili.com and 8,564 trademarks. The Company and the Consolidated Operating Entities have submitted approximately 2,116 additional patent
applications and 409 trademark applications as of September 30, 2023. While such internally developed intellectual property is not reflected on the Company’s balance sheet in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes such intellectual
property has significant value.

 The Company’s and the Consolidated Operating Entities’ devotion to their business of providing
internet cultural activities and information services related to the distribution of online games is demonstrated by the fact that substantially all of their revenue is derived from their offerings of value added services (the “VAS”) such
as premium subscriptions, live broadcasting, anime and comics and audio drama content; mobile games; advertising and e-commerce through the Consolidated Operating Entities, and not from investment securities.
Similarly, substantially all of the expenses the Company and the Consolidated Operating Entities incur in the ordinary course of their business are incurred in connection with the operation of its online video, media and e-commerce platforms, and not in connection with investment securities. For the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company and the Consolidated Operating Entities neither derived significant revenue nor
incurred significant expenses in connection with investment securities.

 Public Representations

The Company has never held itself or any of the Consolidated Operating Entities out to the public (or to investors) as an investment company.
The Company and the Consolidated Operating Entities were organized for the purpose of, and since the Company became a public reporting company in the United States in 2018 have always stated that their business purpose is, providing internet
cultural activities and information services related to the distribution of online games through subsidiaries and relevant Consolidated Operating Entities. The Company believes that the price of the Company’s ADSs may be affected by a number of
factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the Company’s results of operations and financial conditions; (ii) the Company’s strategies and future business development; (iii) the Company’s ability to
retain and increase the number of users, members and advertising customers; provide quality content, products and services; and expand its product and service offerings; (iv) competition in the online entertainment industry; (v) the
Company’s ability to maintain its culture and brand image within its addressable user communities; (vi) the Company’s ability to manage its costs and expenses; (vii) PRC governmental policies and regulations relating to the online
entertainment industry; (viii) general economic and business conditions globally and in China; and (ix) assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. Further information regarding these and other factors that could affect the
price of the Company’s ADSs is disclosed in the 2022 Form 20-F. The Company does not believe the price of the Company’s ADSs will move in response to changes in its investment income or the
composition of its investment holdings. Moreover, neither the Company nor any of the Consolidated Operating Entities devote any attention to nor has the Company disclosed its or the Consolidated Operating Entities’ financial management or
securities activities on its website or in its public documents except as required by law.

 Directors, Officers and Employees

The business activities of the Company’s and the Consolidated Operating Entities’ directors, officers and employees historically have
been devoted almost exclusively to its business of providing internet cultural activities and information services related to the distribution of online games in China, including the governance and operational activities involved in supporting that
business. As of September 30, 2023, the Company and the Consolidated Operating Entities had approximately 10,000 employees, only 5 of whom were actively involved in managing the Company’s investments. It is estimated that none of these
persons devote more than 50% of his or her time to managing the Company’s investments. The other officers and employees, who represented more than 99% of the Company’s total officers and employees as of September 30, 2023, devote
substantially all of their time and business efforts at the Company to the Company’s online media and e-commerce businesses and to functions that support those businesses and not to managing investments
owned by the Company. These employees were actively engaged in growing the Company’s business and were utilizing the Company’s cash to fund the Company’s business operations.

Sources of Income

 The
Company’s filings indicate that the results of the Company and the Consolidated Operating Entities are driven by their position as a leading video community for young generations in China, with a rich offering of content, including video
services, mobile games and VAS. Substantially all of the Company’s and the Consolidated Operating Entities’ revenue is derived from their offerings of VAS, advertising, mobile games, and intellectual property (“IP”) and other
derivative products through its e-commerce platform. Users of the Company’s and the Consolidated Operating Entities’ platforms are charged for certain features and functions, such as live
broadcasting, premium membership subscriptions allowing access to premium content, comics and audio content. The Company and the Consolidated Operating Entities also generate revenue from advertising on their platforms. The Company and the
Consolidated Operating Entities also generate considerable revenue from the sale of in-game virtual items in its exclusively licensed and jointly published mobile games. Additionally, the Company and the
Consolidated Operating Entities generate revenue from the sales of IP and derivative products through its e-commerce platform.

 More than 98 % of the Company’s and each Consolidated Operating Entities’
total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was derived from their mobile games, services offered through their video and digital media platforms, advertising on their platforms, sublicensing licensed content and e-commerce sales, and not from investment securities. Similarly, more than 99% of the Company’s and each Consolidated Operating Entities’ expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were
incurred in connection with the provision of products through the Company’s e-commerce platform and the provision of services and virtual items through their online media platforms and mobile games,
including through revenue sharing arrangements with mobile game developers, distribution payment channel partners, hosts and content creators; content licensing and production costs; bandwidth costs and employee salaries, benefits and share-based
compensation, and not in connection with investment securities.

 As detailed in response to comment 2 of the prior letter, the
Company’s and the Company Group’s investment securities do not produce a significant percentage of such entities’ income, particularly in light of the current interest rate and market environments and in comparison, to the
Company’s operating businesses. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company and the Consolidated Operating Entities derived more than 98% of their total income from sources
unrelated to investment securities, and more than 99% of their total expenses were incurred from sources unrelated to investment securities.

Nature of Present Assets

The Company’s assets consist of cash, demand deposits, time deposits, receivables, including interest receivables from loans and other
intercompany receivables, prepayments, inventories, short-term investments in non-U.S. money market funds and financial products with variable interest rates referenced to performance of underlying assets
issued by commercial banks or other financial institutions, equity interests in subsidiaries, strategic investments in publicly traded and private companies and certain pooled investment funds, property and equipment, net production costs,
intangible assets such as intellectual property, deferred tax assets, right-to-use assets and goodwill.

As of December 31, 2022, on a consolidated basis, the Company had total assets, exclusive of cash, cash items and government securities,
of approximately RMB31,643,183,000 and held investment securities totaling approximately RMB15,146,130,000. Accordingly, on a consolidated basis, investment securities comprised approximately 47.9% of the Company’s total assets, exclusive of
cash, cash items and government securities. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had total assets, exclusive of cash, cash items and government securities, of approximately RMB26,087,534,000 and held investment securities totaling
approximately RMB11,509,283,000. Accordingly, on a consolidated basis, investment securities comprised approximately 44.1% of the Company’s total assets, exclusive of cash, cash items and government securities.

 As noted in the Company’s prior response letters, Section 3(a)(1)(C) is calculated

1.The Company’s response to prior comment 3 shows that a significant portion of the

engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities under
Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) when
considering the fifth factor under Tonopah, “the nature of the issuer’s present
assets.” Please also advise as to the percentage of the Company’s consolidated assets

2023.
2.To the extent that the Company’s consolidated holdings in investment securities are
not materially different from its holdings as of June 30, 2023, please include a risk
factor in future 20-F filings addressing the risk that the Company may be considered
an “investment company” under the Act and the associated consequences.  Please
provide a draft copy of such risk factor with your response.

among others, “highly liquid investments [ . . . ] with original maturities from the date of
purchase of three months or less.”

1.Please describe these investments in detail, and please also provide analysis as to
why you consider such investments to be cash items for purposes of Section
3(a)(1)(C) of the Act.

Directors in accordance with section 2(a)(41)(A) of the Act.” Please explain with greater
specificity how this value was determined, including citations to relevant legal authority
under the Act and, as necessary, supporting accounting guidance, models or methods.

 The Company’s discussion was not sufficiently detailed to allow the staff to assess the Company’s
position. Accordingly, please supplement this response to specifically provide the aggregate dollar amount and percentage attributable to each source of income (and expense) identified in the response (e.g., mobile games, services offered through
video and digital media platforms, provision of products through the Company’s e-commerce platform, etc.). Please also discuss how 99% of the Company’s total revenue and 99% of the Company’s
expenses was not derived from, or incurred in connection with, investment securities when, as noted in the Company’s discussion of the “Sources of Income” factor under Tonopah, the Company’s investment
securities represent approximately 29.48% of the Company’s adjusted total assets as of June 30, 2023 when calculated in accordance with Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) and certain other
Company Group (as defined in the Company’s response to comment 2) issuers have investment securities representing high percentages of adjusted total assets.

The Company respectfully submits that

•

 For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company and
its Consolidated Operating Entities (for purposes of this response, collectively, the “Company”) had total income of RMB23,656.8 million and RMB11,096.2 million, respectively, with 99.5% and 98.1% of the total income derived from
sources unrelated to investment securities, respectively.

•

 For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had
total expenses of 31,164.4 million and RMB13,273.9 million, respectively, with 99.8% and 100.0% of the total expenses incurred from sources unrelated to investment securities, respectively.

Further to the above, the Company is submitting a breakdown and detailed discussions with respect to its source of income and expenses in
Appendix A of the supplemental response, which the Company is submitting under separate cover and on a confidential basis.

 While the
Company’s investment securities represented approximately 29.48% of the Company’s adjusted total assets as of June 30, 2023 when calculated in accordance with the unique method required by Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act, and
certain other Company Group issuers held investment securities representing high percentages of their adjusted total assets, the Company’s and the Company Group’s investment securities did not produce a significant percentage of such
entities’ income during the period, particularly in light of the current interest rate and market environments and in comparison to the Company’s operating businesses.

 The Company’s response to comment one, under the heading “Nature of Present Assets,” refers
to its response to comment 2. However, neither such response appears to provide information about the nature of the Company’s present assets on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, please describe the nature of the Company’s present assets
on a consolidated basis as of the most recent fiscal quarter end (September 30, 2023 (if available)). Please also provide sufficient detail on the manner in which this calculation is made, including a discussion of any substantive determinations
and/or characterizations of assets that are material to your calculation.

 The Company respectfully notes that the
40% Test under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act is to be conducted on an unconsolidated basis. As detailed in the Company’s response to comment 2 of the initial comment letter, investment securities represent approximately 29.48% of the
Company’s adjusted total assets when calculated on an unconsolidated basis, thus the Company is not an investment company as defined in Section 3(a)(1)(C).

Additionally, the Company is submitting the requested information with respect to the Company’s total present assets on a consolidated
basis in Appendix A of the supplemental response, which the Company is submitting under separate cover and on a confidential basis for the Staff’s information.

The Company further submits that its historical development, its public representations of policy, the activities of its officers and
directors, the sources of its present income and the nature of its present assets, as discussed in the Company’s response to comment 1 of the initial comment letter and supplemented in Appendix A hereto, demonstrate that the Company is engaged
primarily in a non-investment business and thus is not an investment company as defined in Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Act.

4.
 The staff notes the Company’s discussion of the various categories of assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries in its response to comment 3. However, because these responses are provided for multiple entities, they are often qualified (“generally” or “consist primarily”). Moreover, the labels of the assets in the response do
not match the labels used in Appendix A. Please provide an updated response, as of the most recent fiscal quarter end (September 30, 2023 (if available)), that identifies each constituent part of the numerator(s) and denominator(s) for each entity,
including a discussion of any substantive determinations and/or characterizations of assets that are material to your calculations with respect to such entity. For example, when referring to an entity’s intercompany receivables or investments
in majority-owned subsidiaries that are not investment companies, please ensure that your response clearly describes the nature of such assets, including their constituent parts, with respect to that specific entity and the basis for the
Company’s treatment of such assets.

 The Company has updated the Investment Company Act Calculations to reflect
the requested information. The Investment Company Act Calculations are set forth in Appendix A of the supplemental response, which the Company is submitting under separate cover and on a confidential, supplemental basis.

 In providing the information referenced above on an entity-by-entity basis, please also be sure to address the questions below for the following asset categories identified in its response to comment 3:

•

 Amounts due from Group companies.

○

 We note that the Company’s response addresses certain intercompany loans represented by notes or loan
agreements, or on which interest is charged. Please discuss whether the Company Group assets consist of receivables due or owing in connection with intercompany loans which are not represented by notes or loan agreements, or on
which interest is not charged. Discuss also whether, and in which asset category, these assets are reflected, and how the Company treats these assets for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act.

•

 Time deposits.

○

 Discuss whether any entity in the Company Group has deposits with maturities of less than 3 months and the
Company’s proposed treatment of these assets for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act.

•

 Restricted cash.

○

 Discuss the amount of restricted cash subject to restricted withdrawal periods, including whether any such
cash is invested in securities, certificates of deposits, or any other assets. Please describe the legal rationale for the Company’s position that the restricted cash is not an investment security and its treatment for purposes of
Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act.

 The Company has included the requested information with respect
to each asset category under “Investment Company Act Calculations” in Appendix A of the supplemental response, which the Company is submitting under separate cover and on a confidential, supplemental basis.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company confirms that the Company Group assets do not consist of receivables due or owing in connection with
intercompany loans which are not represented by notes or loan agreements (whether or not interest is charged). As reflected in the Company’s response to comment 4 above, all intercompany loans are represented by notes or loan agreements,
whether or not interest is charged, and all such intercompany loans were treated as investment securities for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act.

The Company confirms that no entity in the Company Group has time deposits with original maturities of less than 3 months, and all of the
Company Group’s time deposits were treated as investment securities for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act.

 The Company further confirms that only one entity in the Company Group, Shanghai Kuanyu
Digital Technology Co., Ltd., holds restricted cash as of June 30, 2023. RMB167.8 million of such restricted cash is subject to restricted withdrawal periods, and none of such cash is invested in securities, certificates of deposits or any
other assets. The Company treats such cash as a cash item for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) because the fact that such cash is subject to a restricted withdrawal period or appointed for a specific business purpose does not alter the nature of
the asset. Such cash is plainly not a “security” as defined in Section 2(a)(36) of the Act, and therefore cannot be an “investment security” as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Act.

6.
 Please supplementally clarify how the wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) identified in
Appendix A treats each applicable variable interest entity (“VIE”) for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act and explain the rationale for this treatment. More specifically, please discuss whether the Company treats the
WFOE’s relationship with the VIE as comprising the applicable WFOE’s total assets for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) and, if so, how the Company is calculating the “value” of such amounts for purposes of
Section 2(a)(41) of the Act.

 The Company’s WFOEs identified in Appendix A are Hode Shanghai Limited
(“Hode Shanghai”) and Chaodian (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. (“Chaodian Technology”). Hode Shanghai’s VIEs are Shanghai Kuanyu Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Kuanyu”) and Shanghai Hode Information
Technology Co., Ltd. (“Hode Information Technology”); Chaodian Technology’s VIE is Shanghai Chaodian Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (“Chaodian Culture”).

Section 2(a)(43) of the Act defines “wholly-owned subsidiary” of a person as a company 95 per centum or more of the outstanding
voting securities of which are owned by such person, or by a company which, within the meaning of that paragraph, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of such person. Section 2(a)(42) of the Act defines “voting security” to mean, in pertinent
part, any security presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote for the election of directors of a company. This voting control need not be held by reason of the ownership of securities; rather it may arise under a voting agreement.1 It is clear, reading Sections 2(a)(42) and 2(a)(43) of the Act together, that a wholly-owned subsidiary is defined with reference to the ability to elect a majority of its board of directors.
Moreover, the courts and the Commission have taken the position that the possessor of an economic interest in an issuer, such that the holder of the economic interest has the power to exercise control over how the issuer is managed, is considered to
hold the equivalent of a voting security.2

Item 3. Key Information, page 5
1.Please supplement the Company’s discussion of the “Officers and Directors” factor under
Tonopah (as set forth in the Company’s response to comment 1) to describe the titles or
roles of the five persons who are actively involved in managing the Company’s
investments.
2.We note that the Company’s discussion of the “Sources of Income” factor under Tonopah
states, “[m]ore than 99% of the Company’s and each Consolidated Operating Entities’
total revenue for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2022 was derived from
their mobile games [and certain other sales and services] and not from investment

securities.” In addition, the discussion states, “more than 99% of the Company’s and each
Consolidated Operating Entities’ expenses for the twelve-month period ended December
31, 2022 were incurred [ . . . ] not in connection with investment securities.”

•Please supplement this response with figures as of September 30, 2023 or the most
recently available fiscal quarter end.

•The Company’s discussion was not sufficiently detailed to allow the staff to assess
the Company’s position. Accordingly, please supplement this response to specifically
provide the aggregate dollar amount and percentage attributable to each source of
income (and expense) identified in the response (e.g., mobile games, services offered
through video and digital media platforms, provision of products through the
Company’s e-commerce platform, etc.). Please also discuss how 99% of the
Company’s total revenue and 99% of the Company’s expenses was not derived from,
or incurred in connection with, investment securities when, as noted in the
Company’s discussion of the “Sources of Income” factor under Tonopah, the
Company’s investment securities represent approximately 29.48% of the Company’s
adjusted total assets as of June 30, 2023 when calculated in accordance with Section
3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) and certain other
Company Group (as defined in the Company’s response to comment 2) issuers have
investment securities representing high percentages of adjusted total assets.
3.The Company’s response to comment one, under the heading “Nature of Present Assets,”
refers to its response to comment 2. However, neither such response appears to provide
information about the nature of the Company’s present assets on a consolidated basis.
Accordingly, please describe the nature of the Company’s present assets on a consolidated
basis as of the most recent fiscal quarter end (September 30, 2023 (if available)). Please
also provide sufficient detail on the manner in which this calculation is made, including a
discussion of any substantive determinations and/or characterizations of assets that are
material to your calculation.
4.The staff notes the Company’s discussion of the various categories of assets of the
Company and its subsidiaries in its response to comment 3. However, because these
responses are provided for multiple entities, they are often qualified (“generally” or
“consist primarily”). Moreover, the labels of the assets in the response do not match the
labels used in Appendix A. Please provide an updated response, as of the most recent
fiscal quarter end (September 30, 2023 (if available)), that identifies each constituent part
of the numerator(s) and denominator(s) for each entity, including a discussion of any
substantive determinations and/or characterizations of assets that are material to your
calculations with respect to such entity. For example, when referring to an entity’s
intercompany receivables or investments in majority-owned subsidiaries that are not
investment companies, please ensure that your response clearly describes the nature of
such assets, including their constituent parts, with respect to that specific entity and the
basis for the Company’s treatment of such assets.

5.In providing the information referenced above on an entity-by-entity basis, please also be
sure to address the questions below for the following asset categories identified in its
response to comment 3:

•Amounts due from Group companies.oWe note that the Company’s response addresses certain intercompany loans
represented by notes or loan agreements, or on which interest is charged. Please
discuss whether the Company Group assets consist of receivables due or owing
in connection with intercompany loans which are not represented by notes or
loan agreements, or on which interest is not charged. Discuss also whether, and
in which asset category, these assets are reflected, and how the Company treats
these assets for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act.

• Time deposits.oDiscuss whether any entity in the Company Group has deposits with maturities
of less than 3 months and the Company’s proposed treatment of these assets for
purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act.

•Restricted cash.oDiscuss the amount of restricted cash subject to restricted withdrawal periods,
including whether any such cash is invested in securities, certificates of
deposits, or any other assets. Please describe the legal rationale for the
Company’s position that the restricted cash is not an investment security and its
treatment for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act.
6.Please supplementally clarify how the wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”)
identified in Appendix A treats each applicable variable interest entity (“VIE”) for
purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Act and explain the rationale for this treatment.
More specifically, please discuss whether the Company treats the WFOE’s relationship
with the VIE as comprising the applicable WFOE’s total assets for purposes of Section
3(a)(1)(C) and, if so, how the Company is calculating the “value” of such amounts for
purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the Act.
7.Please discuss whether the entity identified as having investment securities greater than
40% of Adjusted Total Assets is registered or will be registered as an investment company
under the Act and explain the rationale for its registration status.
            Please contact Laura Veator at 202-551-3716 or Stephen Krikorian at 202-551-3488 if
you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters.

Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022

Filed April 27, 2023 (File No. 001-38429)

Dear Ms. Veator, Mr. Krikorian, Mr. Pattan and Mr. Mew,

This letter sets forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the letter dated August 29, 2023 from the staff (the
“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) regarding the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the

not defined in this letter shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the 2022 Form 20-F.

 Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022

 Item 3. Key Information, page 5

1.
 Please provide a detailed legal analysis regarding whether the company and each of its subsidiaries meet the
definition of an “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act. In your response, please address, in detail, each of the factors outlined in Tonapah Mining Company of Nevada, 26 SEC 426 (1947) and
provide legal and factual support for your analysis of each such factor.

 Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment
Company Act defines the term “investment company” to include any issuer which “is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in
securities” (emphasis added). The determination of an issuer’s primary business engagement requires a fact-specific inquiry. Over the years, the SEC and the courts have developed a number of criteria to be used in determining whether a
company is engaged primarily in a non-investment business. The criteria applicable to nearly every situation are: (i) the company’s historical development; (ii) its public representations of
policy; (iii) the activities of its officers and directors; (iv) the sources of its present income; and (v) the nature of its present assets (the “Tonopah
Factors”).1

 Although the SEC has not indicated how much emphasis should be placed on any particular
criterion, it has indicated that, in general, more significance should be placed on the character of a company’s assets (as evidenced by the relative percentage of a company’s assets invested in operating businesses (“operating
assets”) versus investment instruments (“investment assets”)), and the sources of the company’s present income (as evidenced by the relative percentage of the company’s income derived from operating assets versus investment
assets).2 However, other considerations may apply in the application of the foregoing factors, for example, a company’s investment holdings may be based on such company’s need for cash
for operations or acquisitions or other needs and a desire to preserve the value of such cash. In general, SEC and court decisions indicate that if an applicant has demonstrated significant activity in a
non-investment business, a need for available capital, and the absence of public representations that it is in the investment business, no registration is required.

Because the Company does not hold itself out to be an investment company, the relevant consideration is whether the Company is
“primarily” engaged in the investment business. The following sections analyze the application of the five Tonopah Factors to the Company’s business.

Historical Development

The Company first launched its website in June 2009, and the Company commenced commercial operations in 2011 as an online video sharing
platform. The Company established Shanghai Hode Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Hode Information Technology”) to expand its operations in May 2013. In December 2013, Bilibili Inc. was incorporated in the Cayman Islands to serve as the
Company group’s ultimate holding company. In February 2014, the Company established Hode HK Limited (“Hode HK”), a wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, and in September 2014, Hode HK established a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary, Hode
Shanghai Limited (“Hode Shanghai”). Hode Shanghai then entered into a series of contractual arrangements with each of its variable interest entities (“VIEs”), Hode Information Technology and Shanghai Kuanyu Digital Technology
Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Kuanyu”), and their respective shareholders. Chaodian HK Limited (“Chaodian HK”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bilibili Inc., was established in 2019. Chaodian HK’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Chaodian
Shanghai Technology Co., Ltd. (“Chaodian Technology”), subsequently entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Shanghai Chaodian Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (“Chaodian Culture”) and its shareholders pursuant to
which Chaodian Technology became the sole beneficiary of, and gained control of, Chaodian Culture. American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) representing the Company’s Class Z ordinary shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market under the symbol “BILI” on March 28, 2018.

 Investment Company Act Release No. IC-10937, supra note 1;
Tonopah, 26 S.E.C. at 427. But see SEC v. National Presto Industries, Inc. 486 F.D.A. 305 (7th Cir. 2007), in which the Court rejected the assertion that the composition of a company’s assets is the most important of these
five considerations; rather, what is most important is whether the company’s “portfolio and activities [will] lead investors to treat a firm as an investment vehicle or as an operating enterprise.”

 The Company is a holding company that currently conducts its business in China mainly through
(i) Hode HK and its subsidiaries, Shanghai Bilibili Technology Co., Ltd. (“Bilibili Technology”) and Hode Shanghai, and the VIEs, Shanghai Kuanyu and Hode Information Technology, and its subsidiaries and (ii) Chaodian HK and its
subsidiary, Chaodian Technology, and its VIE, Chaodian Culture. Through its subsidiaries, VIEs and their subsidiaries (“Consolidated Operating Entities”), the Company offers a leading online video platform as well as mobile games and
anime, comic and audio platforms.

 The Company and its Consolidated Operating Entities maintain significant intellectual property with
respect to its primary business of providing video and other media content platforms. For example, as of December 31, 2022, the Company and its Consolidated Operating Entities have registered approximately 985 patents, 1,847 copyrights, and
8,154 trademarks and is in the process to register an additional approximately 1,863 patents and 1,171 trademarks. The Company and its Consolidated Operating Entities have approximately 350 registered domain names as of December 31, 2022.

The Company’s and its Consolidated Operating Entities’ devotion to their business of providing video and other media content
platforms is demonstrated by the fact that substantially all of their revenue is derived from their offerings of value added services (the “VAS”) such as premium subscriptions, live broadcasting, anime and comics and audio drama content;
mobile games; advertising and e-commerce through its Consolidated Operating Entities, and not from investment securities. Similarly, substantially all of the expenses the Company and its Consolidated Operating
Entities incur in the ordinary course of their business are incurred in connection with the operation of its online video, media and e-commerce platforms, and not in connection with investment securities. For
the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company and its Consolidated Operating Entities neither derived significant revenue nor incurred significant expenses in connection with investment securities.

 Public Representations

The Company has never held itself or any of its Consolidated Operating Entities out to the public (or to investors) as an investment company.
The Company and its Consolidated Operating Entities were organized for the purpose of, and since the Company became a public reporting company in the United States in 2018 have always stated that their business purpose is, providing online video,
game and other media and e-commerce platforms through subsidiaries and relevant Consolidated Operating Entities . The Company believes that the price of the Company’s ADSs may be affected by a number of
factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the Company’s results of operations and financial conditions; (ii) the Company’s strategies and future business development; (iii) the Company’s ability to
retain and increase the number of users, members and advertising customers; provide quality content, products and services; and expand its product and service offerings; (iv) competition in the online entertainment industry; (v) the
Company’s ability to maintain its culture and brand image within its addressable user communities; (vi) the Company’s ability to manage its costs and expenses; (vii) PRC governmental policies and regulations relating to the
online entertainment industry; (viii)general economic and business conditions globally and in China; and (ix) assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. Further information regarding these and other factors that could affect the
price of the Company’s ADSs is disclosed in the 2022 Form 20-F. The Company does not believe the price of the Company’s ADSs will move in response to changes in its investment income or the
composition of its investment holdings. Moreover, neither the Company nor any of its Consolidated Operating Entities devote any attention to nor has the Company disclosed its or its Consolidated Operating Entities’ financial management or
securities activities on its website or in its public documents except as required by law.

 Directors, Officers and Employees

The business activities of the Company’s and its Consolidated Operating Entities’ directors, officers and employees historically have
been devoted almost exclusively to its business of providing online video, game and other media and e-commerce platforms in China, including the governance and operational activities involved in supporting
that business. As of December 31, 2022, the Company and its Consolidated Operating Entities had approximately 11,092 employees, only 5 of whom were actively involved in managing the Company’s investments. It is estimated that none of these
persons devote more than 50% of his or her time to managing the Company’s investments. The other 11,087 officers and employees, who represented more than 99% of the Company’s total officers and employees as of December 31, 2022,
devote substantially all of their time and business efforts at the Company to the Company’s online media and e-commerce businesses and to functions that support those businesses and not to managing
investments owned by the Company. These employees were actively engaged in growing the Company’s business and were utilizing the Company’s cash to fund the Company’s business operations.

 Sources of Income

The Company’s filings indicate that the results of the Company and its Consolidated Operating Entities are driven by their position as a
leading video community for young generations in China, with a rich offering of content, including video services, mobile games and VAS. Substantially all of the Company’s and its Consolidated Operating Entities’ revenue is derived from
their offerings of VAS, advertising, mobile games, and intellectual property (“IP”) and other derivative products through its e-commerce platform. Users of the Company’s and its Consolidated
Operating Entities’ platforms are charged for certain features and functions, such as live broadcasting, premium membership subscriptions allowing access to premium content, comics and audio content. The Company and its Consolidated Operating
Entities also generate revenue from advertising on their platforms. The Company and its Consolidated Operating Entities also generate considerable revenue from the sale of in-game virtual items in its
exclusively licensed and jointly published mobile games. Additionally, the Company and its Consolidated Operating Entities generate revenue from the sales of IP and derivative products through its e-commerce
platform.

 More than 99% of the Company’s and each Consolidated Operating Entities’ total revenue for the twelve-month period
ended December 31, 2022 was derived from their mobile games, services offered through their video and digital media platforms, advertising on their platforms, sublicensing licensed content and e-commerce
sales, and not from investment securities. Similarly, more than 99% of the Company’s and each Consolidated Operating Entities’ expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2022 were incurred in connection with the provision
of products through the Company’s e-commerce platform and the provision of services and virtual items through their online media platforms and mobile games, including through revenue sharing arrangements
with mobile game developers, distribution payment channel partners, hosts and content creators; content licensing and production costs; bandwidth costs and employee salaries, benefits and share-based compensation, and not in connection with
investment securities.

 Nature of Present Assets

As described in more detail in response to comment 2 below, while investment securities may represent greater than 40% of the adjusted total
assets of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries when calculated in accordance with the unique method required by Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act, investment securities represent approximately 29.48% of the Company’s adjusted total
assets as of June 30, 2023 when calculated in accordance with Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act. Because this is less than 45% of the Company’s adjusted total assets, this factor indicates that the Company is not engaged in an
investment company business.3

3
 See Investment Company Act Release No. IC-10937, supra note 1
(“As a general rule, however, if a company has no more than 45 percent of its assets invested in—and derives no more than 45 percent of its income from—investment securities, it is primarily engaged in a business other than
being an investment company. Accordingly, it would not appear necessary or appropriate in the public interest for the Commission to regulate such a company under the [Investment Company] Act.”).

 Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its Consolidated Operating Entities is engaged in an investment company business, but
rather is primarily engaged in the business of offering online media content, including video services, mobile games and VAS.

  Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-223405)

Responses to the Staff’s Comment Letter Dated March 22, 2018

Dear Mr. Kauten, Ms. Ayoola, Mr. Krikorian and Ms. Youngwood:

On behalf of our client, Bilibili Inc., a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we are filing herewith the Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) and certain exhibit via EDGAR with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

To facilitate your review, we are separately delivering to you today five courtesy copies of the Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the registration statement filed with the Commission on March 16, 2018.

Concurrently with the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company is hereby in this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the letter from the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) dated March 22, 2018. The Staff’s  comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.

The Company will file the joint acceleration requests separately to request that the Staff declare the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on or about March 27, 2018. The Company would greatly appreciate the Staff’s continuing assistance and support in meeting its timetable.

Prospectus Cover Page

1.                                      You state that the Class Y ordinary shares, held by your directors Rui Chen, Yi Xu and Ni Li, will constitute approximately 30.7% of your total issued and outstanding share capital immediately after the completion of this offering and 81.6% of the aggregate voting power of your total issued and outstanding share capital immediately after the completion of this offering, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. Please provide us with your analysis as to why you believe the company will not be a controlled company under the NASDAQ Global Market rules in light of this 81.6% voting power.

According to Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5615(c)(1), a “controlled company” is defined as a company “of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company.” The Company respectfully advises the Staff that Rui Chen, Yi Xu and Ni Li each holds his or her Class Y ordinary shares in an individual capacity, and do not act in concert to hold such shares as a group. Additionally, there are no contractual voting arrangements among these three individuals. As such, although the Class Y ordinary shares held by the three directors will constitute a total of 81.6% of the aggregate voting power in the Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital immediately after the completion of this offering, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, no single director is expected to have more than 50% of the aggregate voting power.

As disclosed on page 156 of the Registration Statement, after the completion of this offering and assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, (i) Rui Chen will hold Class Y and Class Z ordinary shares constituting 45.5% of the aggregate voting power in the Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (ii) Yi Xu will hold Class Y ordinary shares constituting 29.5% of the aggregate voting power; and (iii) Ni Li will hold Class Y and Class Z ordinary shares (upon exercise of the options to purchase Class Z ordinary shares) constituting 7.0% of the aggregate voting power. As no single individual, group or company will hold more than 50% of the voting power for the election of the Company’s directors, the Company will not be a controlled company under the definition of the Nasdaq rules.

2.                                      We note from your response to prior comment 7 that your investments are in privately held companies’ shares that are not common stock or in-substance common stock.  Please clarify the nature of your ownership interests in these privately held companies’ shares. Clarify the portion of your response that indicates your investments are financial assets with no revenue-generating activities. Tell us whether the consideration to be received in connection with the transfer will be cash or some other form of consideration.  Explain you determined the proposed fair value estimation of the investments to be transferred.  Revise to disclose the account line-item where these investments are presently classified.  Finally, consider adding corresponding disclosure in the related parties section of the filing.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the investments to be transferred are investments in privately held companies’ preferred shares, through which the Company is entitled to certain preferential rights such as redemption rights and liquidation rights. The Company accounts for these investments as financial assets measured at cost since there is no readily determinable fair value. The considerations to be received by the Company in connection with the transfer will be in cash.

Since the investments represent the Company’s investments in preferred shares issued by the investees and are assets held at cost, the Company determined that these investments do not constitute a business and do not generate revenues or involve in revenue-generating activities for the Company. Therefore, the Company is not subject to pro forma financial information disclosure requirements for disposition of a business.

Given the investees are start-up companies in their early stage, the Company determined the fair value of its investments by reference to the price of recent investment method under the market approach or the net assets method under the cost approach, with the assistance of an independent third-party appraiser.

In light of the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised “Note 29 — Subsequent event” on page F-66 to clarify the nature of the Company’s ownership interests in these transferred equity investments, and added the disclosure of the account line-item where these investments are presently classified. The Company has also revised page 160 of the Registration Statement to add corresponding disclosure in “Related Party Transactions” section of the Registration Statement.

Re:                             Bilibili Inc.
 Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-223405)

Dear Mr. Kauten, Ms. Ayoola, Mr. Krikorian and Ms. Youngwood:

On behalf of our client, Bilibili Inc., a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s response to the Staff’s requests that were verbally communicated to the Company’s U.S. counsel on March 16, 2018.

For marketing purposes, an estimated initial public offering price range between US$10.50 and US$12.50, with a mid-point of US$11.50, has been established and included in Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement containing the preliminary prospectus for the offering filed on March 16, 2018 (the “Revised Registration Statement”). The Company respectfully advises the Staff that this range was estimated with reference to the valuation provided by the underwriters of this offering, which was in turn derived from the information provided by the Company and current market conditions.  The estimated price range is subject to change, which may result from variations in market conditions and other developments.  Such developments may not be within the control of, or foreseeable by, the Company. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the final offering price will fall within this estimated price range.

A detailed description of the factors contributing to the increase in the fair value of the ordinary shares of the Company from US$6.94 per ordinary share as of December 31, 2017 to US$11.50 per ordinary share, the mid-point of the estimated price range for this offering, is set forth on page 96 of the Revised Registration Statement.

Summary of recent equity awards

In responses to Staff’s request, the Company summarized below the equity awards issued from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 to its employees and non-employees, all in the form of share options:

As disclosed on page 93 of the Revised Registration Statement, as there has been no public market for the ordinary shares underlying the Company’s equity awards, for all periods prior to the initial public offering, the fair value of the ordinary shares underlying the equity awards was estimated on each grant date based on a third-party valuation. In order to determine the fair value of the Company’s ordinary shares, the Company’s management considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of the ordinary shares as of each grant date, including:

·                  the prices at which the Company sold preferred shares to investors in recent equity financings;

·                  the Company’s financial position, including cash on hand, and the Company’s historical and current operating results;

·                  the Company’s estimation on future cash flow and the corresponding monetization plan;

·                  the Company’s negative cash flows and need for additional financing;

·                  the lack of an active public market for the ordinary shares;

·                  the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering, in light of prevailing market conditions; and

·                  analysis of initial public offerings and market performance of similar companies in the industry.

Difference between recent valuations leading up to the offering and estimated offering price

The Company believes the implied increase in share value of $6.94 per share as of December 31, 2017 to around $11.5 per share, the mid-point of the estimated initial public offering price range, is primarily attributable to the following factors:

1.              Improvement in the Company’s business performance

The number of average monthly active users increased from 71.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 to 76.4 million in the first two months of 2018.

In January 2018, the Company upgraded its membership system, expanding the premium content that can be accessed by its members. As a result, the Company experienced rapid growth in its paying users, and such growth has exceeded the Company’s previous estimate. The number of average monthly paying users across the Company’s platform more than doubled from 1.07 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 to 2.37 million in the first two months of 2018. Additionally, the number of average monthly paying users for mobile games increased from 0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 to 0.9 million in the first two months of 2018.

2.              Improvement in capital markets

There has been an improvement in the performance of the U.S. capital markets since the end of December 2017. For example, the Nasdaq China Index(“NQCN”) value increased by over 8.1% from December 31, 2017 to March 16, 2018. The Company believes that the favorable market sentiment since the end of December 2017 has contributed to the increase in the fair value of its ordinary shares.

3.              Reduced cost of capital and discount for lack of marketability

As a result of (a) an imminent initial public offering and (b) the improvement in capital market mentioned above, if the Company performs a valuation of its ordinary shares as at the initial public offering date using the same methodology and keeping the other assumptions unchanged (e.g. using the same financial forecasts prepared for the valuation as at December 31, 2017), the implied assumption of discount rate would have decreased from 17% to 13%, and the implied discount for marketability discount would have decreased from 10% to 0%. As a result, the per share value would increase from US$6.94 to US$11.38.

The Company’s initial public offering will increase the liquidity and marketability of its ordinary shares. The Company’s initial public offering will also provide it with additional capital, enhance its ability to access capital markets to grow its business, and raise its overall profile.

Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 29. Subsequent Events, page F-66

7.                                      Please clarify your disclosures that indicate the consideration of the transfer is expected to be approximately RMB500.00 million, which represents a premium of approximately RMB53.7 million over the carrying value of these investments. In this respect, tell us the amount of consideration that the Company will receive in connection with the transfer. Explain whether the transfer consideration represents the fair value of the equity investments transferred. Describe in detail the nature of the equity investments that will be transferred and when you expect the transfer to be completed. In addition, tell us your consideration of providing pro forma financial information to reflect the transfer of the equity investments. We refer you to Article 11-01 of Regulation S-X.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that investments to be transferred are investments in privately held companies’ shares that are not common stock or in-substance common stock. The Company carries the investments at cost as these shares do not have readily determinable fair value. The Company expects to receive approximately RMB500.0 million as consideration, which is proposed based on the fair value estimation of the investments to be transferred. The transfer is subject to finalization of the underlying transaction documents and a series of legal registration procedures, and the timing of consummation of the transaction is not yet certain at this stage. The Company has revised page F-66 of the Registration Statement to expand the disclosure relating to this transfer.

The Company also respectfully advises the Staff that it has considered the guidance within Article 11-01(a)(4) of Regulation S-X as to whether this transfer would constitute a disposition of a significant portion of a business. The Company does not believe such cost method investments would constitute a “business” according to the guidance in Article 11-01(d) of Regulation S-X because the investments are financial assets with no revenue-generating activity. Therefore, the Company believes this proposed transfer should not be considered as a disposition of a business.

4

The Company has further considered whether this transfer would constitute a probable transaction for which disclosure of pro forma financial information would be material to investors pursuant to Article 11-01(a)(8) of Regulation S-X. The total cost of the equity investments subject to the proposed transfer is expected to be RMB445.9 million, including RMB343.2 million of equity investments measured at cost as of December 31, 2017, representing less than 10% of the total consolidated assets of the Company as of December 31, 2017. The remaining RMB102.7 million equity investments have not been made by the Company as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, the Company also has recorded no income or expense related to these equity investments during the periods presented in the financial statements. A pro forma financial information would not provide any incremental information to investors.

Accordingly, the Company believes that inclusion of pro forma information is not required because this transaction does not fall within the scope of transactions specified in Article 11-01(a)(1) through (7) of Regulation S-X nor would the disclosure of pro forma financial information be material to investors pursuant to Article 11-01(a)(8) of Regulation S-X.

Re:                             Bilibili Inc.
 Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-223405)

Dear Mr. Kauten, Ms. Ayoola, Mr. Krikorian and Ms. Youngwood:

On behalf of our client, Bilibili Inc., a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s response to the Staff’s request that was previously communicated to the Company’s U.S. counsel verbally.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that an estimated initial public offering price range for marketing purposes will not be established until shortly before the filing of an amendment to the Registration Statement containing the preliminary prospectus for the offering on March 16, 2018.  However, in response to the Staff’s request for an estimated price range for the offering, the Company has estimated a preliminary indicative price range with reference to the preliminary indicative valuation provided by the underwriters of this offering, which was in turn derived from the information provided by the Company and current market conditions.  The estimated preliminary indicative price range is subject to change, which may result from variations in market conditions and other developments.  Such developments may not be within the control of, or foreseeable by, the Company. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the estimated price range to be included on the front cover of the preliminary prospectus will correspond to, or that the final offering price will fall within, this estimated preliminary indicative range. The Company currently estimates the preliminary indicative price range for this offering to be between US$10.00 and US$12.00 per ordinary share, with a mid-point of US$11.00 per ordinary share.

A detailed description of the valuation method used and the factors contributing to the changes in the fair value of the ordinary shares of the Company between November 3, 2014 and December 31, 2017 is set forth on pages 92 to 95 of the Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed on March 2, 2018. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the increase in the fair value of the ordinary shares of the Company from US$6.94 per ordinary share as of December 31, 2017 to US$11.00 per ordinary share, the estimated mid-point of the preliminary indicative price range for this offering, was primarily attributable to the following factors:

·                  The public filing of the registration statement relating to this offering on March 2, 2018 reduced the uncertainties associated with the Company’s initial public offering, and significantly lowered the discount for lack of marketability from 10.0% as of December 31, 2017 to 0.0% upon the completion of this offering;

·                  The Company achieved significant growth in active users to 76.4 million average monthly active users in the first two months of 2018 from 71.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017;

·                  As the Company developed a longer track record in achieving revenue growth target successfully, the Company further reduced its discount rate;

·                  As the Company progressed further towards this offering, the Company increased its estimated probability of a successful initial public offering. As the Company’s preferred shares would be automatically converted into and re-designated as ordinary shares upon the completion of this offering, the increase in the estimated probability of initial public offering’s success results in an allocation of a higher portion of the Company’s business enterprise value to ordinary shares; and

2

·                  The impending launch of this offering, which will provide the Company with additional capital, enhances its ability to access capital markets to grow business and raise its profile.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that in determining the fair value of the ordinary shares as of various dates before the offering, the Company, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, has considered the guidance prescribed by the AICPA Audit and Accounting and Valuation Guide, “Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation” (the “Guide”).

Paragraph 10.04 of the Guide provides that:

“The ultimate IPO price is generally not likely to be a reasonable estimate of the fair value for pre-IPO equity transactions of the enterprise. The value of a private enterprise before and after a successful IPO may be significantly different. In addition, the IPO event itself increases enterprise value, because, among other things, it allows the enterprise access to the public capital markets.”

Paragraph 10.05 of the Guide provides further that:

“The IPO price also reflects an estimate of the expected valuation of the company’s shares based upon its position following a successful IPO. As a result, it normally incorporates the effect of the issuance of primary shares by the company, the proceeds from which can be used to either reduce the company’s debt level or to provide capital to fully finance the company’s expansion or development of its business plan. In contrast, most financings for earlier stage companies do not allow the company to reach break-even cash flows and to become self-sustaining. Therefore, the IPO price recommendation may be free from the risk premium associated with the need to raise additional capital associated with earlier stage companies.”

In accordance with paragraphs 10.04 and 10.05 of the Guide, the Company believes neither the estimated mid-point of the preliminary indicative price range for this offering nor the final offering price itself should be construed as a reasonable estimate of the fair value of its ordinary shares as of various dates before this offering.

  Registration Statement on Form F-1

Dear Mr. Kauten, Ms. Ayoola, Mr. Krikorian and Ms. Youngwood:

On behalf of our client, Bilibili Inc., a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we are filing herewith the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) and certain exhibits via EDGAR with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

To facilitate your review, we are separately delivering to you five courtesy copies of the Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the revised draft registration statement confidentially submitted on February 14, 2018.

Concurrently with the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company is hereby in this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the letter from the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) dated February 27, 2018. The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Registration Statement where the language

addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.

In accordance with the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act and the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, the Company is, concurrently with the Registration Statement, filing the draft registration statement and all amendments thereto that were previously submitted for the Staff’s non-public review, and plans to file an amendment to the Registration Statement containing the estimated price range and offering size and launch the road show no earlier than 15 days after the date hereof. The Company would appreciate the Staff’s prompt feedback to this filing.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations, page 72

1.                                      We note your response to prior comment 3. Please revise to explain in greater detail how each of the metrics correlates with revenues. We also continue to believe disclosing the MAUs in the same table with the paying users metric would provide context for investors. We refer you to Part I, Items 5A and 5D of Form 20-F and Section III.B of SEC Release 338350.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised page 74 of the Registration Statement to (i) explain that the various operating metrics disclosed throughout the prospectus are indicators of the overall health and development of our platform but are not correlated with revenues, and (ii) include the average MAUs in the same table with the paying users metric to provide context for investors.

2.                                      Please revise to clarify the types of active users included in your MAU metric and disclose whether your games are generally free to play. Tell us your consideration of disclosing your average MAUs and average monthly paying users on the same basis. In this respect, we note that you currently disclose your average MAUs in millions and average monthly paying users in thousands. Disclosing these metrics on the same basis would help provide context for investors.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised pages 72 and 73 of the Registration Statement to (i) clarify the types of active users in the MAU metric and the monetization model of the Company’s mobile games business, and (ii) present the average MAUs in thousands.

3.                                      Please revise to explain why your average monthly paying users and average monthly paying users for mobile games decreased during the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has made the referenced disclosure on page 73 of the Registration Statement.

Results of Operations, page 78

4.                                      We note your response to prior comment 5. Please revise to discuss the increase in mobile game revenues attributable to both new and existing paying players as well as the increase in revenues attributable to both new and existing mobile game offerings. This appears to be important information necessary to understanding your operating results considering your disclosures indicate that one of your primary challenges is to launch new games and release upgrades to attract new players and retain existing players. This also appears to be important disclosure considering the concentration risk and variability of your individual mobile game revenue contributions for each period presented. We refer you to Part I, Items 5A and 5D of Form 20-F and Section III.B of SEC Release 33-8350.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised pages 79 and 81 of the Registration Statement to disclose the increase in revenues attributable to both new and existing mobile game offerings. With respect to the increase in mobile game revenues attributable to both new and existing paying players, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that there is no consistent standard whereby the Company can distinguish new paying players from existing paying players through which the Company can measure and track the revenue contribution by each group. For example, an existing paying player may switch to a different game and discontinue his or her paying behavior in the last game, or an existing paying player may temporarily leave a game in one period and return in a subsequent period. In each scenario, it is unclear whether such paying player should be categorized as an existing paying player or a new paying player. Additionally, it is also impracticable for the Company to measure such contribution by each group on an overall basis as the Company operated a total of 72 mobile games as of December 31, 2017 and plans to launch a large number of new mobile games in the near future. To the Company’s knowledge, other public reporting companies generating revenues from a large number of mobile games do not discuss revenue contribution based on new/existing paying players.  The Company believes these other companies are also unable to do so for the same reasons stated above.

5.                                      We note your response to prior comment 11. Please revise to disclose the revenue attributable to each individual game title that contributes to more than 10% of your total mobile game revenues for each period presented. In this respect, it is unclear why you do not believe the concentration makes you vulnerable to the risk of a near-term serve impact considering that only two or three games represent the majority of your total mobile game revenues for each period presented. We refer you to ASC 275-10-50.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised page F-39 of the Registration Statement to present revenue attributable to each individual game title that contributes to more than 10% of the Company’s total mobile game revenues for each period presented.
