Following a strong start to 2026-highlighted by surging revenue from the BONK.fun platform and strategic treasury accumulation-this purchase reinforces management's stance that the current market capitalization does not accurately reflect the fundamental value of the Company.

Buying more stock on the open market is the clearest way I can signal my conviction.
