Nasdaq-listed bitcoin mining company Bit Digitalhttps://hashrateindex.com/stocks/btbt (BTBT) announced plans to expand its North American-hosted mining presence through its partnership with Compute North, Core Scientific and Link Global Technologies.
- To date, the company hosts 2,100 machines with Compute North. The updated partnership will see Bit Digital move an additional 3,000 S17+ machines during Q2, per a press release.
- Interim CEO Erke Huang said partnerships with Compute North and others will allow his company to "quickly expand U.S. based bitcoin production."
- While it plans to expand in the U.S., Bit Digital is currently facing class-action lawsuits based on allegations of fraud misrepresenting its Asia-based mining capacity. Those allegations first surfaced in a report by J Capital in late January.
- The company has also undergone some senior-level leadership changes after removing its former CEO Min Hu and accepting the resignation of board Chairwoman Ping Liu, per CoinDesk's prior reporting.
- Shares of the mining company have dropped over 45% to around $16.16 at last check, per TradingView data.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Ripple-linked XRP drops 5%, opening downside risk toward $1.70
Traders are watching $1.80 as near-term support, with $1.87–$1.90 now the key resistance zone.
What to know:
- XRP dropped about 5 percent from $1.91 to near $1.80 as bitcoin’s pullback sparked broad risk-off selling across high-beta tokens.
- The slide accelerated once XRP broke below key support around $1.87 on heavy volume, erasing last week’s gains before buyers stepped in near the $1.78–$1.80 zone.
- Traders now view $1.80 as a crucial support level, with a sustained move back above roughly $1.87–$1.90 needed to signal a corrective pullback rather than the start of a deeper decline.
