The cumulative cost of its holdings is approximately $63.95 billion, with an average purchase price of approximately $75,437, corresponding to an unrealized gain of approximately $98 billion.

Additionally, the value of power resources, mining equipment, and energy contracts held by Bitcoin mining companies is on the rise.

PPP prediction market tool monitoring shows that in the Polymarket "GPT Astra 6.1+ release date" prediction market, the probability that GPT Astra 6.1+ will be released before October 31 has risen to 46%, up 21% in 24 hours.

According to the resolution rules, if OpenAI makes available to the public a GPT model with a version number of 6.1 or higher and with "Astra" included in its name or model identifier before the specified date, the corresponding market will resolve to "Yes." The model must actually be made available for public use; closed beta testing or placeholder names appearing only on the official website will not count, and resolution will primarily be based on official information from OpenAI.

Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the initiative.

Odaily News: Pons founder Ozzy posted on X in response to community questions about the PONS buyback and burn mechanism, stating that the burn rate has indeed not yet been adjusted, and that the "Claim" process is still not fully decentralized.

He stated that an on-chain contract upgrade is currently underway. The new buyback mechanism plans to execute a Claim every 7 days, then use all claimed funds over the following 7 days to buy back and burn PONS, repeating this cycle to establish a more sustainable buyback and burn mechanism. All buyback and burn operations are now automated. Anyone can trigger the bot and receive a small reward for doing so.

He further stated that the previously set buyback and burn rate was 2e per hour, which, combined with the Splitter (fund allocation contract) currently holding about $950,000, matches a 7-day buyback cycle. After funds are claimed, they will also be automatically executed on a 7-day cycle, so buyback funds will appear in two separate sections: one is the Active Buyback Vault currently conducting buybacks, and the other is the buyback funds reserved for the next week.

Previously, crypto analyst yyy posted on X stating that Pons had not replenished funds to the buyback distributor for over 5 days, with about $440,000 in pending claimable funds in the escrow account. The analyst believed that untimely fund Claims led to the recent low PONS burn rate, and called for promoting decentralization of escrow account fund claims.

Odaily News: Analyst Ali posted on X platform that Bitcoin recently faced resistance in its attempt to reach $87,000, during which whales took profits and sold over 30,000 BTC. Meanwhile, $87,000 also marks the upper boundary of a price channel that has been suppressing BTC for over the past two weeks.

Ali stated that in the short term, attention should be paid to the lower boundary of the channel at approximately $82,500. If BTC falls back to that level and whales begin accumulating again, it would serve as a confirmation signal for considering buying the dip, with the next rebound target set at $87,000.
