Today marks DDC's second Bitcoin purchase in seven days, following the 200 BTC acquired on May 21.

The 131 BTC size of today's transaction reflects available liquidity and balance sheet capacity, consistent with the Company's approach of deploying capital in measured, opportunistic increments rather than committing at any single price.
Bitcoin Purchase Highlights
"Discipline in a Bitcoin treasury is proven through repetition," said Norma Chu, Founder, Chairwoman, and Chief Executive Officer of DDC Enterprise. "Today's purchase puts capital we previously raised to work, without printing a single new share to do it. Our mandate is straightforward: get more Bitcoin behind every DDC share, and keep proving that mandate one transaction at a time."
DDC intends to keep building its Bitcoin treasury under the same framework that guided today's purchase: deploying capital raised above per-share Bitcoin NAV in measured, opportunistic increments rather than committing at any single price. The broader objective is to compound durable value across both the operating business and the balance sheet so that each DDC share represents more Bitcoin, a stronger Asian food platform, and a deeper capital base over time.

DDC Now Holds 2,714 BTC
MINA, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Masses of pilgrims in Saudi Arabia threw pebbles at a large pillar in a symbolic ritual on Wednesday, one of the final days of the Hajj as Muslims around the world started celebrating the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha.
Pilgrims in Mina, Saudi Arabia, chanted “Allahu akbar” (“God is great”) while throwing pebbles in a ritual seen as a symbolic stoning of the devil. The act is also seen as a symbol of rejecting evil and a commemoration of the Prophet Ibrahim’s rejection of temptation when the devil tried to dissuade him from submitting to God’s will.
Large crowds of pilgrims moved through the sprawling Jamarat complex after arriving from Muzdalifah, where they collected pebbles overnight following a day of worship and prayer at Arafat on Tuesday.
Aamar Shakur, a pilgrim from Pakistan, said he saw the pebble throwing as a symbol of confronting personal struggles in which he was “throwing the stone to my own devil.”
The last days of the Hajj in Saudi Arabia coincide with Eid al-Adha, or “Feast of Sacrifice,” which marks the willingness of Ibrahim, known as Abraham to Christians and Jews, to sacrifice his son. During the holiday, Muslims typically slaughter sheep or cattle and distribute some of the meat to poor people.
The Hajj, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is required once in a lifetime of every Muslim who can afford it and is physically able. Performed over several days, the Hajj can be a deeply moving spiritual experience and a chance to seek God’s forgiveness.
The physically demanding Hajj has been held this year in intense heat, which appeared to take a toll on some as they moved between holy sites. Medical teams stationed across Mina were seen treating several pilgrims.
Many poured water over their heads and faces to cool themselves under the scorching sun, while others carried umbrellas. Some pushed elderly relatives and loved ones in wheelchairs through the crowds toward the pillars so they could complete the ritual.
The Hajj brings together large numbers of Muslims of diverse races, ethnicities, languages and socioeconomic classes, creating a sense of unity for many.
More than 1.5 million pilgrims have arrived from abroad, a Saudi official said Friday.
This year's Hajj takes place against the backdrop of a tenuous ceasefire in the Iran war and related uncertainty throughout the region.
Eid al-Adha is a typically a joyous occasion, marked with communal prayers, food and festive gatherings with loved ones. In some places, though, conflicts and economic pressures, are dampening festivities for many.
In Jakarta, Indonesia, Muslim worshippers have joined communal prayers in the mosques and streets.
Lebanon is observing Eid al-Adha amid an ongoing conflict between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group. Many of the displaced people in the country are sheltering in tented settlements or public schools repurposed as shelters, a far cry from the normalcy of spending the occasion among friends and family in their hometowns.
“There is no Eid for us. We are displaced, forced to leave our land, our homes, our livelihoods, while our memories are being destroyed,” said Rabee Khreis, who fled the village of Khiyam where intense fighting has taken place.
A U.S.-brokered ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah conflict appeared more nominal by the day, complicating efforts at a broader peace in the Iran war.
In the Gaza Strip, where the Israel-Hamas war that began in October, 2023, has devastated the territory and its people, Palestinians are observing a subdued Eid al-Adha under a fragile ceasefire and rampant suffering and displacement.
“This is not Eid... we’re dead,” said Mahmoud Saqer, a displaced man from Khan Younis.
In Khan Younis and Gaza City, amid destroyed buildings, worshippers gathered for Eid prayers with few signs of celebration as the typical joy of Eid eluded many.
“There’s no Eid. My children were killed,” said Ayda Al-Banna, a displaced woman from Gaza City, who prayed Eid prayers with her granddaughter. “Eid is only for the people who lost no one.”
Israel’s military offensive in Gaza has killed more than 72,803 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, caused widespread destruction and displaced most of the territory’s residents. The ministry, part of the Hamas-led government, maintains detailed casualty records that are seen as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts. It does not give a breakdown of civilians and militants.
Israel launched the offensive after Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took another 251 hostage in an attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. While the heaviest fighting has mostly subsided since a fragile ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, deadly Israeli strikes have repeatedly disrupted the truce. Hamas and Israel have accused each other of violating the ceasefire.
