Bitcoin Group Ltd has once again delayed its public listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), despite its recent initial public offering.
The Melbourne-based bitcoin mining firm first announced its intention to list on the ASX in October 2014. However, it has now suffered as many as six hold-ups due to requests and reprimands from the stock exchange.

The latest news came by way of a Bitcoin Group investors' update on 5th February, which said:
“Investors will appreciate that ‘block chain’ is a new technology and we are working with ASX to satisfy its request for additional information as part of the listing application process."
The company said that it would provide additional updates in the future regarding when the stock would begin to float on the open market.
Lackluster IPO
Following final revisions to Bitcoin Group's filing in December, the ASX allowed the IPO to go ahead on 25th January.
Yet the IPO fell short of expectations. The firm raised just $AU5.9 million, below the AU$20 million it had hoped to obtain.
Providing it meets the ASX's requirements, the firm is still on track to become the second bitcoin firm on Australia's largest stock exchange, following digitalBTC's listing in 2014.

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.

Rollercoaster bitcoin price moves end up liquidating $1.7 billion in bullish crypto bets
More than $1.7 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours as bitcoin fell to $81,000, with long bets accounting for nearly all the damage amid macro jitters and Fed chair speculation.
What to know:
- More than $1.68 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with about 267,000 traders forced out of trades.
- Long positions accounted for nearly 93 percent of the wipeout, led by roughly $780 million in bitcoin and $414 million in ether liquidations.
- Analysts say the sell-off was driven less by new bearish sentiment than by overcrowded leverage unwinding, flushing out speculative excess and reducing forced flows in the market.
