Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T

The top companies target big markets. Like Nvidia growing ~200% in 2024 on AI’s $214B tailwind. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and Venmo also backed Pacaso. Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech transforms a $1.3 trillion market. With $110M+ in gross profit to date, Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

💰️ Metaplanet Buys Additional 775 BTC for $93 Million, Lifting Total Holdings to 18,888 Bitcoin

Metaplanet now holds 18,888 BTC, which is valued at about $2.2 billion at current market prices.

  • The Japanese Bitcoin treasury firm bought 775 BTC for $93 million at an average price of $120,006.

  • With this purchase, Metaplanet now ranks seventh worldwide in Bitcoin holdings, according to Bitcointreasuries data.

  • The firm recently reported a 41% quarter-on-quarter revenue increase to $8.4 million and swung to a net profit of $75.1 million, after a $34.2 million loss in Q1.

The AI-focused blockchain project carried out a 51% attack on Monero just last week.

  • Qubic founder Sergey Ivancheglo announced that the community voted to target Dogecoin for its next 51% attack, ahead of Kaspa and Zcash.

  • Dogecoin received over 300 votes, which was more than the combined total for Kaspa and Zcash.

  • The vote was held after Qubic’s successful 51% attack on Monero, which raised broader concerns about the vulnerability of proof-of-work blockchains to concentrated hashrate assaults.

Faraday Future said it plans to initially buy about $30 million worth of crypto, but still plans to buy “tens of billions” more.

  • Faraday Future announced plans to launch crypto initiatives, including a dedicated crypto treasury and tokenized vehicle sales.

  • The Nasdaq-listed EV startup will start its “C10 Treasury” with a $30 million crypto purchase, and plans to grow it into the tens of billions.

  • The move makes Faraday Future part of the growing trend of public companies adopting crypto strategies to attract investment and boost market exposure.

Michael Saylor, the co-founder of Strategy, hinted at yet another major Bitcoin purchase. 

  • Michael Saylor hinted that Strategy may soon add more Bitcoin to its already massive holdings, with BTC trading below its recently achieved ATH of $124,000.

  • The company recently purchased 155 BTC worth $18 million, which brought its total stash to 628,946 BTC valued at over $74.2 billion.

  • Strategy is the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, and surpassed the combined holdings of the next ten biggest treasury firms.
