🚨$133M in Crypto?! You Won’t Believe It!🚨

by

Oy vey! So, this Nasdaq-listed company, OceanPal – now calling itself SVRN, because apparently ‘OP’ wasn’t confusing enough 🙄 – they decided to go on a little spending spree. A spending spree, I tell ya! They’ve squirrelled away a whopping $133 million worth of this…NEAR thing. 53.9 million of ’em! It’s like a bar mitzvah gift gone wild!

NEAR
$2.20
24h volatility:
2.9%
Market cap:
$2.81 B
Vol. 24h:
$479.15 M

And the whole thing was announced with a press release! A press release! As if the world was just waiting with bated breath! They did have a little fundraiser beforehand, snagging cash from all sorts of crypto-types – Kraken, Fabric Ventures, the G20 Group! The G20! What are they doing with crypto?! It’s a whole mishigas!

1/ Today we are sharing that SovereignAI’s treasury now holds 53.9 million $NEAR, valued at ~$133M as of 11/13.

To reflect our full commitment to this new chapter, our company has begun trading on Nasdaq as $SVRN.

This Sal Ternullo, the co-CEO (as if one CEO wasn’t enough!), he wants to buy 10% of ALL the NEAR! 10%! He’s already got 4.2%! He looks like a guy who collects Beanie Babies, honestly. “Individual sovereignty of AI!” he proclaims. Sovereignty? It’s crypto, Sal, not a revolution!

“We believe in greater individual sovereignty and individual ownership of AI, and our immediate execution on previously disclosed plans to acquire 10% or more of the total NEAR supply affirms our belief that NEAR Protocol’s vertically integrated AI capabilities will facilitate this future. Our disciplined and data-driven approach to treasury management will allow us to offer our shareholders what we believe is the greatest asymmetric upside among mature Layer 1 protocols in the market with exposure to an investment in critical AI infrastructure,” Ternullo said.

But hold on, it gets better! They’re not just going to hold these NEAR tokens. Oh no. They’re going to ‘actively invest’ and ‘support the network’! They call it “yield-generating strategies.” Sounds like a fancy way to play the stock market, if you ask me. And they’re getting 5.3% APY! 5.3%! I could get that at a local bank, practically!

And get this: They want to run their own validator node! So they can…secure the network? Is nothing sacred?!

NEAR Price Analysis

Apparently, NEAR is worth about $2.28 a pop as of this writing. Which means SVRN’s little hoard is now worth…wait for it… almost $123 million. A bit less than before, somebody’s not managing money well! They say it’s a good entry point but could also crash harder than a Borscht belt comedian’s career. 🎭

They talk about “demand pressure” and “resistance zones.” It sounds like a hostage negotiation, not a crypto analysis.

So, this whole thing is signaling “institutional interest.” Big deal! It’s like the wolves are gathering around the sheep, I tell ya. But SVRN is “optimistic.” Makes you wonder what they’re optimistic about. 🤔

“SovereignAI believes open AI rails the NEAR Protocol enables are the essential foundation of a user-owned genetic economy. NEAR was uniquely architected for high-performance AI-native use cases, making it the best positioned blockchain protocol to deliver this critical infrastructure,” the company stated.

And NEAR Intents is doing well! $5 billion in volume! Big numbers! Very impressive! But it still doesn’t explain why I can’t get my plumber to accept Bitcoin. 🤷
