POP Culture Group buys $33 million in Bitcoin, plans to expand into 'entertainment'-related crypto treasury holdings
Quick Take POP Culture Group (ticker CPOP) purchased its first 300 BTC, worth about $33 million. The firm plans to build a “diversified cryptocurrency fund pool” that will include other high growth assets and tokens related to “the Web3 pan-entertainment track.”
POP Culture Group (ticker CPOP) is the latest entertainment company to launch a strategic bitcoin reserve. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the firm has completed its first purchase of 300 BTC, worth about $33 million.
This is the first step towards the Xiamen, China-based firm’s attempt to create a "diversified cryptocurrency fund pool," which will include assets like BTC, ETH, and an altcoin called BOT.
According to a statement, the company will be guided by four main criteria when determining whether to invest in a token, including a token's "high investment value and growth potential" and strategic corporate alignment. It will also consider "promising cryptocurrencies in the Web3 pan-entertainment track” and projects managed by "high-quality artists."
"Our strategic cryptocurrency investment marks the beginning of a vision to build not only a pan-entertainment platform, but a global Web3 pan-entertainment super ecosystem. POP Culture Group CEO Huang Zhuoqin said in a statement. “Entertainment will transform from disposable emotional experiences into sustainably appreciating digital assets."
Pop Culture Group Co., Ltd is an enterprise “focused on the industrialization of Chinese Pop Culture,” according to a statement.
The company is far from the only entertainment-related entity that has moved to build a digital asset reserve. Notably, the Justin Sun-backed TRX treasury firm, now called Tron Inc. , formed through a merger with the Nasdaq-listed toy and plushie manufacturer SRM Entertainment.
CPOP opened trading at $2.11, up over 40% since Tuesday’s close of $1.36. However, the token has since fallen back to around that $1.36 level, according to Google Finance. That said, the stock is up over 55% over the past month.

How does Wall Street view the PCE? Goldman Sachs delays expectation for Fed rate hike
After the lower-than-expected US August PCE data was released, Goldman Sachs delayed its expectation for the Federal Reserve's second rate hike from October to December, and stated that it does not rule out the possibility that the Fed may eventually decide no further hikes are necessary. "New Fed Newsletter" Timiraos noted that the PCE does not change the previously known trend of rising inflation. Currently, the market prices in a 39% probability of a rate hike in October, down from 45% before the PCE release; and a 90% probability in December. The yield on 2-year US Treasury notes dipped slightly after the PCE announcement and then rebounded, while the 10-year yield continued to rise.
