What to know:
- Strategy purchased another $450 million worth of bitcoin last week.
- Sales of common stock funded most of the fresh acquisition.
- Company holdings are now worth just under $70 billion.
Strategy (MSTR) continued its relentless bitcoin purchases, acquiring another 4,048 coins last week and bringing company holdings to 636,505 coins.
Last week's buys were made for just under $450 million, or an average cost of $110,981 each. They were funded mostly through sales of common stock, with sales of the company's various preferred shares making up the rest.

The common stock sales have been somewhat controversial of late as Saylor and team not long ago promised to never issue shares when the stock's mNAV — the ratio of the stock valuation compared to value of bitcoin holdings — fell below 2.5x.
The rough ride for the stock of late though, has brought the mNAV to the 1.5x area. With apparently just modest demand for preferred stock and none for convertible debt, the company — if it wanted to continue to make sizable bitcoin purchases — had little choice but to scrap the mNAV 2.5x promise.
The problem with sales of common stock at such a modest premium to mNAV, say the naysayers, is that the issuance risks being dilutive to existing shareholders.
The company's bitcoin holdings are worth just under $70 billion at bitcoin's current price of $109,400.
MSTR shares are modest lower in premarket trading.

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.
