PANews February 13 News, Bubblemaps disclosed on X platform that Trove Markets has quietly refunded the KOLs who participated in the presale, while other presale participants suffered heavy losses. By monitoring wallets associated with the TROVE token deployer, it was found that one day after the token collapse, $100,000 worth of USDC and $350,000 worth of USDT were transferred to newly funded wallets. On-chain evidence and leaked chat records now confirm that the project team engaged in improper behavior by treating investors differently.
After raising $11.5 million through an ICO in January, Trove stated it would retain $9,397,403 to continue building PerpDEX on Solana. This move triggered strong community dissatisfaction, with the token price dropping over 95%, ICO participants suffering significant losses, and accusations of rug pulling against the team. Community feedback indicates issues such as “paying KOLs for promotion and funds flowing to entertainment platform deposit addresses.”

The Endgame of "Coin Hoarding Company": Liquidation or Self-Rescue?

Just over a year ago, for many companies seeking to boost their stock prices, becoming a cryptocurrency reserve company (DAT) seemed like an easy decision.
Some Microsoft shareholders convened meetings to ask the board to evaluate the benefits of including some Bitcoin on the balance sheet. They even mentioned Strategy, which is the largest publicly listed Bitcoin DAT.
At that time, a financial flywheel was in place, attracting everyone to follow.
Buying large amounts of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana (SOL). Watching the stock price exceed the value of these assets. Issuing more shares at a premium. Using that money to buy more cryptocurrencies. Cycle repeats. This financial flywheel supporting publicly listed stocks seemed almost perfect, enough to tempt investors. They paid over two dollars just to indirectly acquire Bitcoin worth only one dollar.
