Strategy Might Have Paused Bitcoin Accumulation Last Week
The company's stock valuation sits near cycle lows as index exclusion chatter grows.

What to know:
- Strategy appeared to make no bitcoin purchases last week, after a run of six consecutive weekly buys.
- MSTR is down about 70% from its peak and is trading just above a 1.16 times multiple to net asset value, the lowest of this cycle.
Strategy (MSTR), the largest publicly traded company holding bitcoin
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor typically takes to X to preview buys each Sunday and then tweets out the details by around 8 am ET on Monday morning. There were no such tweets this week.
This ends a six-week run of weekly purchases, dating back to Oct. 6.
The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based firm holds 649,870 bitcoin with an average cost basis of $74,433 per coin, according to the Strategy dashboard.
The pause comes as MSTR trades roughly 70% below its all-time high, with its multiple to net asset value (mNAV) sitting just above 1, the lowest level of the current cycle.
The company is also contending with market chatter about potential exclusion from major equity indexes, a threat serious enough to draw the ire of Saylor last week.
Shares are up 1.5% early Monday alongside a small rise in the price of bitcoin over the weekend to the current $86,200.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

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.
