The buy that woke up the tape
CleanCore Solutions just fired a signal. The NYSE-listed firm kicked off an “official Dogecoin treasury” with a purchase of 285,420,000 DOGE. Roughly 68 million dollars in under a week. The plan is simple. Accumulate. Then scale.
House of Doge partnered with CleanCore to fund token buys through a 175 million dollar PIPE. The goal is aggressive. Up to 1 billion DOGE within the next 30 days, according to the company’s statement on GlobeNewswire. They are building a balance sheet that speaks to adoption and utility. They want to be the largest Dogecoin digital asset treasury. They say they already are.
“ZONE’s treasury was created to capture the value of Dogecoin’s ability to serve as the people’s currency,” said Marco Margiotta, CleanCore’s CIO and House of Doge’s CEO. He tied the strategy to a forward-looking vision. More utility. Broader adoption. More demand for DOGE as a global digital asset.
The stock and the signal
The market heard it. ZONE closed Monday at 3.51 dollars per share. In after-hours trading, shares surged 40 percent to about 1.65 dollars. The company’s market cap sits around 50 million dollars, per Yahoo Finance. A small cap moved like a rocket. That is what a bold treasury announcement can do.
DOGE followed with a clean pop. Price was up about 7 percent to 0.24 dollars as of 4:47 p.m. ET. The market cap sits north of 36 billion dollars. Dogecoin ranks seventh among cryptocurrencies when you exclude stablecoins. The first Dogecoin ETF could arrive as soon as this week, according to a Bloomberg analyst. If that lands, treasury buys meet fresh inflows. That is how momentum compounds.
Why this move matters now
This is a blueprint. Form a treasury. Fund it with dedicated capital. Buy liquid supply while the crowd hesitates. CleanCore says its build is “in anticipation of increased utility and adoption” driven by House of Doge, the new corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation. The alignment is clear. Corporate balance sheets. Narrative tailwinds. New ETF rails.
House of Doge and CleanCore framed this as an “official Dogecoin treasury.” That phrase is doing work. It gives other boards cover to follow. It gives traders a reason to lean long. If CleanCore reaches 1 billion DOGE in 30 days, supply shifts fast. When that happens into a potential ETF launch, the price door can swing wide.
The takeaway is simple. A real buyer stepped in with a clock and a number. The stock exploded. DOGE perked up. If the ETF arrives, demand stacks on demand. The window is open for those who move.
