$100B in Crypto? How Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Stocks Became the Hottest Trend in Finance

$100B in Crypto? How Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Stocks Became the Hottest Trend in Finance

Digital Asset Treasury companies are publicly traded firms whose core strategy is to hold crypto as a corporate treasury, instead of—or alongside—cash or traditional assets coindesk.com marketswiki.com. In practice, a DAT will raise capital and immediately use the proceeds to buy digital assets like Bitcoin, Ether or other tokens. These companies may have little or no traditional business; their “product” is largely the crypto on their balance sheet. For example, MicroStrategy famously shifted from software to crypto in 2020, declaring Bitcoin a superior store of value coinshares.com. It amassed ~607,770 BTC and saw its market cap and stock skyrocket – MSTR stock is up ~3,700% since 2020 coinshares.com. Strategy’s bold move created a template: other CEOs took note, and the trend of corporate crypto treasuries was born.

Minecraft LIVE 2025 Unveils “Mounts of Mayhem” – Spear, Nautilus and Zombie Horses Revealed

At Minecraft LIVE, Mojang’s developers introduced Mounts of Mayhem – a game drop themed around new rideable creatures and combat gear. The centerpiece is the Spear, Minecraft’s first multi-material weapon in years minecraft.net. As the official blog explains, the spear can be crafted from copper up to netherite, and "will give you an edge in both melee and mounted combat" minecraft.net. It offers two attacks: a quick jab from foot to keep enemies at bay, and a charge attack that can knock foes off their mounts with the right timing minecraft.net. Notably, the spear’s damage increases with your speed, so hitting from a galloping horse or sprinting bite is lethal minecraft.net gamespot.com. GameSpot’s Eric Frederiksen highlights that “Mojang says” this damage scaling gives you every reason to ride hard into battle gamespot.com. In short, players must rethink combat strategy: kiting zombies on land and jousting on horseback are now viable tactics.

Fortnite’s Daft Punk Experience Goes Live – With a Surprise Weeknd Cameo

Fortnite’s new event is a fully interactive music playground, not just a passive concert. Epic Games has branded it their “biggest musical experience” yet Pitchfork. It spans 31 classic Daft Punk songs in five custom virtual rooms. Each room has a theme – e.g. a Dream Chamber DJ hub where players remix tracks Pockettactics, a Daft Club dance floor playing the Alive tour visuals Pitchfork, a Robot Rock Arena with breakout stages, and even a Lego build area where you re-create the “Around the World” music video Pockettactics Pitchfork. As Pitchfork explains, the game mode “brings in 31 songs… in an immersive music world that highlights the group’s discography throughout various interactive rooms” Pitchfork. Players can experiment by making mashups of Daft Punk’s “timeless tracks” or choreographing dance emotes in sync with the music Edm Pitchfork.

Monster Strike x Haruhi Suzumiya Collaboration Leaked: Characters, Dates, and Gameplay Details

Monster Strike x Haruhi Suzumiya Collaboration Leaked: Characters, Dates, and Gameplay Details

Monster Strike frequently teams up with popular anime and game franchises. In each collaboration, players can pull exclusive characters and tackle themed quests. Though not yet confirmed, a Haruhi Suzumiya crossover would continue this tradition. Haruhi Suzumiya is a hit light-novel/anime series centered on an eccentric high school girl who unknowingly has reality-altering powers. Its enduring popularity and sci-fi themes make it a natural match for Monster Strike’s monster-collecting gameplay. If real, the event would join other major Monster Strike collabs and capitalize on nostalgia for the series. In past events, Monster Strike often reuses old content and upgrades legacy characters: for example, the 4th Evangelion collab reintroduced past characters and allowed older collab units to “God-evolve” monster-strike.com. We expect the Haruhi event to similarly spotlight both new and returning content.
