Shares of Strategy (MSTR), Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD), and other crypto-linked stocks climbed as market optimism picked up steam. 

Bitcoin, already up nearly 30% this year and recently trading above $118,000, got an extra boost last week when President Donald Trump signed an executive order letting workers add crypto and other alternative assets to their 401(k) retirement plans.

The move, combined with strong institutional buying, is giving bulls more fuel, lifting not just Bitcoin, but also the broader market for digital assets and crypto-related equities.

Altcoins have joined the rally, with many posting double-digit weekly gains as investors rotate into higher-growth, higher-risk parts of the crypto market.

One of the most buzzed-about tokens riding this wave is Bitcoin Penguins (BPENGU). 

Built on Solana’s ultra-fast, low-cost blockchain, BPENGU blends meme-coin culture with serious technical muscle. With staking rewards, locked liquidity, and audited contracts guarding against exploits, BPENGU isn’t just another novelty token.

It’s a next-generation meme asset engineered for speed, scalability, and security ready to power community incentives, NFT integrations, and future cross-chain growth.

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet turned heads in the crypto space with a big buy of 518 Bitcoin worth about $61.4 million. 

That brings its total stash to a massive 18,113 BTC, valued at roughly $1.85 billion.

The purchase is part of the company’s ambitious “555 Million Plan,” a goal to collect 210,000 BTC, around 1% of all Bitcoin in existence by 2027.

With its Bitcoin holdings already delivering a year-to-date yield of more than 468%, Metaplanet’s buying spree shows just how bullish it is on the asset’s long-term future.

Analysts say moves like this not only cement the firm’s position in the market but also add weight to Bitcoin’s scarcity-driven growth story.

To bankroll its aggressive Bitcoin buying spree, Metaplanet is leaning on some creative financing tools like zero-interest convertible bonds, moving-strike warrants, and perpetual preferred shares. 

It’s these conditions that are sending traders hunting for the next viral mover and BPENGU has emerged as a clear standout. 

Its presale, now in the final stretch, is primed for a full sellout. 

With less than $10M available in total and $2.7M already committed, the 15-stage system (in which the price rises 5% every two-day stage) is fueling a classic FOMO rush. 

Early investors in Stage 1 are staring at more than 75% gains by the time the token lists, making each moment of hesitation potentially costly.

The final countdown for Bitcoin Penguins (BPENGU) is officially underway, as the presale window draws to a close and anticipation hits a fever pitch across the crypto space. 

With the clock ticking, investors eager to be part of what many are calling “the great Penguin rally” are scrambling for the last available spots. 

BPENGU’s tokenomics are built for momentum, scarcity, and strong community alignment.

The total supply is firmly capped at 10 billion tokens, with 5.5 billion (55%) allocated solely to the presale. This means more than half the supply is going directly to early adopters during this fast-moving window, ensuring true community distribution from the start.

Each of the 15 presale stages lasts just two days, with the token price rising by 5% at every stage, rewarding swift action and giving early buyers a tangible edge.

As each stage sells out, the next comes at a premium, so the sooner you get in, the more you stand to benefit.

The balance of the supply is focused on bolstering the token’s ecosystem: 20% is set aside for staking rewards and 10% fuels initial liquidity for smooth trading when BPENGU lists on September 2.

Smaller allocations support ongoing community airdrops, charity efforts, and project sustainability.. 

The meme coin sector has already seen explosive upside in 2025, with penguin-themed tokens leading the charge, one notable peer recently notched an impressive 7x gain in just a few months.

This time around, BPENGU brings extra fuel to the fire. 

With millions already committed and the hard cap fast approaching: those who entered early have a chance to generate 75% returns by launch day, further turbocharging demand.
