Empery Digital Acquires 18 Additional BTC and Now Holds Over 4,018 BTC
Additionally, the Company today announced that it has been exploring a range of opportunities to cost effectively leverage the significant BTC holdings to fund potential share repurchases in the event the Company's common stock trades at a discount to net asset value. By proactively securing access to capital, the Company aims to act swiftly should market conditions present an attractive opportunity to repurchase shares below NAV.
'This strategy aligns with our disciplined approach to add bitcoin per share on both sides of net asset value,' said Ryan Lane, Co-CEO & Chairman of Empery Digital. 'Our intentional decision to not use debt financing out of the gate affords the management team significant flexibility to pursue accretive opportunities for shareholders. If our shares trade at a discount to NAV, we will have the flexibility to act decisively.'
Ryan continued, 'We also launched various social media accounts to provide a place where I can explain the various ways Empery Digital thinks about efficiently adding bitcoin per share. I will also opine on various topics and happenings within the blockchain ecosystem where I have expertise. Please come follow us on this journey: @EMPD_BTC on X (formerly Twitter). We plan to announce our additional social media handles soon.'

Draganfly Inc (DPRO) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Strong Revenue Growth Amidst ...
Release Date: August 11, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Draganfly Inc (NASDAQ:DPRO) reported a 37% quarter-over-quarter increase and a 22% year-over-year increase in revenue for Q2 2025. The company achieved a 100% success rate with its Commander 3 XL plus Drops payload system at the US Army Cemex 25 event. Draganfly Inc (NASDAQ:DPRO) closed a $13.75 million public offering, significantly bolstering its balance sheet. The company was selected for a US Southern Border drone pilot program, showcasing its advanced drone capabilities. Draganfly Inc (NASDAQ:DPRO) secured a strategic military order for its Commander 3XL UAV systems, indicating strong demand in the defense sector. Negative Points The company reported a comprehensive loss of $4.7 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $7.1 million in the same quarter last year. Gross margin decreased to 24.4% from 34.4% year-over-year, indicating pressure on profitability. Higher office and miscellaneous costs, wage costs, and share-based payments contributed to the increased loss. The company is still in the process of obtaining Blue List and Green List certifications, which could impact future sales. There are ongoing challenges in scaling production capacity to meet potential large contract demands. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with DPRO. Q: Can you comment on Draganfly's status on the AUVSI green list and the impact of the new drone memo by Secretary Heeth on these classifications? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, acknowledged that initially, the importance of being on the Blue List was underestimated. Draganfly is now in the process of testing for the Blue List and has submitted for the Green List. Despite the delay, it hasn't hindered sales into defense and law enforcement. The focus remains on demonstrating capabilities, performance, and compliance with supply chain criteria. Q: With a healthy cash balance, what are Draganfly's plans for these funds? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, stated that the focus is on organic growth and scaling the ability to iterate quickly, which is crucial for maintaining a competitive advantage. While some M&A activity is being considered, the primary goal is to ensure customer confidence and support growth with a strong balance sheet. Q: How is Draganfly positioned in terms of production capacity to handle potential large contracts? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, explained that Draganfly has built up production capacity over the last couple of years, which was necessary to secure current orders. The company is also pursuing additional contract manufacturing capabilities to scale further, ensuring readiness for detailed customer requirements. Q: Has Draganfly seen increased interest from police departments adopting drones as first responders? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, noted significant interest, particularly from smaller and rural departments. While larger departments have been early adopters, the focus is on providing multi-mission drones to smaller agencies, which are quicker to move and have different budget constraints. Q: Could an end to the Ukraine conflict negatively impact Draganfly or the drone industry? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, believes that the conflict has highlighted the essential role of drones, and their use will likely continue to increase even if the conflict ends. The focus will shift to areas like ISR logistics, demining, and reconstruction, ensuring continued demand for diverse drone applications.

3 Stocks Under $10 We Keep Off Our Radar
Stocks under $10 pique our interest because they have room to grow (as well as the most affordable option contract premiums). That doesn't mean they're bargains though, and we urge investors to be careful as many have risky business models. The bad behavior exhibited by lower-quality companies in this space can spook even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to separate the good from the bad. That said, here are three stocks under $10 to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead. Portillo's (PTLO) Share Price: $7.75 Begun as a Chicago hot dog stand in 1963, Portillo's (NASDAQ:PTLO) is a casual restaurant chain that serves Chicago-style hot dogs and beef sandwiches as well as fries and shakes. Why Does PTLO Fall Short? Weak same-store sales trends over the past two years suggest there may be few opportunities in its core markets to open new restaurants Poor free cash flow margin of -0.4% for the last two years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution At $7.75 per share, Portillo's trades at 18.7x forward P/E. If you're considering PTLO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more. Lucky Strike (LUCK) Share Price: $9.47 Born from the transformation of traditional bowling alleys into modern entertainment destinations, Lucky Strike (NYSE:LUCK) operates bowling alleys and other entertainment venues with upscale amenities, arcade games, and food and beverage services across North America. Why Should You Dump LUCK? Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company's profitability Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders Lucky Strike's stock price of $9.47 implies a valuation ratio of 31.7x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with LUCK, check out our full research report (it's free). Funko (FNKO) Share Price: $2.50 Boasting partnerships with media franchises like Marvel and One Piece, Funko (NASDAQ:FNKO) is a company specializing in creating and distributing licensed pop culture collectibles. Why Are We Out on FNKO? Annual sales declines of 9.7% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders Funko is trading at $2.50 per share, or 12x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why FNKO doesn't pass our bar.
