Timeline | Argentine President 'Mints' a Coin, Backstage Team Cashes Out $100 Million in 4 Hours
At 6:00 a.m. this morning, Argentine President Javier Milei's official account announced the launch of the meme coin LIBRA and revealed the address, causing a sharp price surge for LIBRA. Javier Milei, a presidential candidate who had threatened to destroy the country's central bank, was officially elected as the President of Argentina on November 20, 2023. He is well-known in the crypto community because he is also a staunch supporter of Bitcoin, hoping to use Bitcoin to solve Argentina's inflation problem.

However, about 4 hours later, Javier Milei deleted his previous tweet, claiming he was unaware of the meme coin LIBRA that was released, causing the token's price to plummet. Subsequently, the team behind LIBRA responded, stating that President Milei was not involved in the development of the LIBRA project. Following Trump, another president has issued a coin. What is the truth of the matter? Milei really unaware? BlockBeats will continue to follow up and provide real-time updates. Here is a timeline of events:
LIBRA Team's Response: President Milei Was Not Involved in the Development of the LIBRA Project, Thank You for Your Support and Trust
At 11:36 a.m., the Web3 AI underlying layer KIP Protocol posted on social media that today they launched the ambitious Viva la Libertad project aimed at assisting Argentina's private enterprises. LIBRA has been successful, and they thank everyone for their trust and support. It needs to be clarified that this is a private enterprise project, and Argentine President Javier Milei has neither in the past nor present been involved in the development of this project; it is a wholly private enterprise.
It is reported that the Viva la Libertad project's official website indicates that it is a private independent project developed by KIP Protocol. (In the accompanying picture, the person on the left is KIP co-founder Julian, and the person on the right is President Milei, the photo was released in October 2024)
The LIBRA Team has Liquidated a Total of $107 Million
According to Lookonchain monitoring, 8 wallets associated with the LIBRA team have liquidated 57.6 million USDC and 249,671 SOL (equivalent to about $49.7 million) through adding liquidity, removing liquidity, and collecting fees, totaling approximately $107 million cashed out.
Argentinian President Claims Unawareness of Earlier Released LIBRA and Lambasts Puppeteers
At 11:38 AM, Argentinian President Javier Milei posted on social media, stating that a few hours ago, he had tweeted, thinking it was just a casual show of support for a private entrepreneurial project unrelated to him as usual. He was not clear about the details of the project and, upon understanding, will definitely not spread it further (which is also why he deleted the tweet). He expressed disgust for the dirty rats trying to take advantage of the situation to harm people, confirming daily how despicable politicians can be, further solidifying his determination to kick you out with one foot.

DDC Enterprise Limited Announces 2025 Unaudited Preliminary Financial Performance: Record Revenue Achieved, Bitcoin Treasury Grows to 2183 Coins
On March 4, 2026, DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE American: DDC) today announced preliminary, unaudited full-year financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2025. The company expects to achieve record revenue and record positive adjusted EBITDA, primarily driven by continued growth in its core consumer food business and overall margin improvement. The final audited financial report is expected to be released in mid-April 2026.
Revenue: Expected to be between $39 million and $41 million, reaching a new company high.
Organic Growth: Excluding the impact of the company's strategic contraction of its U.S. operations, core revenue is expected to grow 11% to 17% year over year.
Gross Profit Margin: Expected to be between 28% and 30%, reflecting continued operational efficiency improvements.
Adjusted EBITDA: The company expects to achieve a positive full-year result in 2025, a significant improvement from a $3.5 million loss in 2024, mainly due to rigorous cost controls and a higher-margin sales mix.
In 2025, DDC's core consumer food business maintained strong operational performance.
The company also disclosed Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA, a metric that further excludes costs related to its Bitcoin reserve strategy and non-cash fair value adjustments related to its Bitcoin holdings from adjusted EBITDA to more accurately reflect the core business performance.
In 2025, Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $5.5 million and $6 million.
In the first half of 2025, DDC initiated a long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy, holding Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.
As of December 31, 2025: The company holds 1,183 BTC.
As of February 28, 2026: Holdings increased to 2,118 BTC

DDC Founder, Chairman, and CEO Norma Chu stated, "We are proud to have closed 2025 with record revenue and positive adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating the steady growth of the company's consumer food business and the ongoing improvement in profitability. We are building a disciplined, growth-oriented food platform and strategically allocating capital to Bitcoin assets with a long-term view, aligning with our core beliefs. We believe that this dual-track model of 'Steady Consumer Business + Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' will help DDC create lasting long-term value for shareholders."
For the full year 2025, the company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" (a non-GAAP financial measure) as: Net income / (loss) excluding the following items:· Interest expense· Taxes· Foreign exchange gains/losses· Long-lived asset impairment· Depreciation and amortization· Non-cash fair value changes related to financial instruments (including Bitcoin holdings)· Stock-based compensation
DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE: DDC) is actively implementing its corporate Bitcoin Treasury strategy while continuing to strengthen its position as a leading global Asian food platform.
The company has established Bitcoin as a core reserve asset and is executing a prudent, long-oriented accumulation strategy. While expanding its portfolio of food brands, DDC is gradually becoming one of the public company pioneers in integrating Bitcoin into its corporate financial architecture.
