HOUSTON, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PitPat, the world’s leading online competition platform, today announced a strategic collaboration with smart fitness equipment brand DeerRun. At the upcoming product launch event, the two companies will showcase the latest developments in building a “New Home Sports Ecosystem.” This marks a pivotal shift as PitPat expands its role from a virtual competition platform to a pioneer in personalized competitive fitness experiences.

Through seamless integration with DeerRun’s innovative smart fitness devices, PitPat empowers users to join immersive, motivation-driven online competitions right from home—ushering in a new era of personalized athletic training.

With years of experience and technological expertise in smart fitness, DeerRun continues to launch cutting-edge products tailored to the evolving needs of modern households. By focusing on diverse user scenarios—from space-constrained apartments to fitness enthusiasts demanding professional-grade experiences—DeerRun emphasizes foldable, space-saving designs alongside advanced chipsets capable of supporting high-level competition sensors. The result is a more intelligent and inclusive home fitness environment.

One of the featured highlights of the event is the DeerRun X20 Treadmill, a high-performance yet home-friendly cardio solution designed to elevate indoor running. Equipped with a brushless motor, the X20 operates quietly with extended durability, delivering consistent power output ideal for medium- to high-intensity training. Its 15% auto incline simulates varied terrain, promoting full-body and cardiovascular conditioning. With speeds up to 7.5 mph (approximately 12 km/h) and a 3.0 HP motor, it balances robust performance and lightweight convenience, weighing only 33 kg. This compact all-in-one solution makes the X20 an ideal choice for home users looking to diversify and intensify their training.

Also in development is the AP01 Race-Grade Treadmill, engineered for high-intensity workouts and virtual racing. With a 3.5 HP continuous-duty motor and a top speed of 12 mph (approx. 19 km/h), it supports everything from aerobic sessions to sprint training. Despite its 42 kg lightweight build, the AP01’s optimized structure delivers high stability and safety. A wide running belt and advanced shock absorption system protect joints, making it ideal for frequent, long-term use. Integrated incline adjustments and smart connectivity allow users to engage in real-time races via PitPat, monitor rankings, and follow personalized training plans—combining speed, competition, and social interaction in one powerful package.

DeerRun also introduced the S500 Smart Cycling Bike, crafted for immersive indoor cycling. Supporting Apple Vision Pro, the S500 brings a VR-enhanced experience to indoor rides, simulating lifelike outdoor routes. With 32 magnetic resistance levels, users can train across a full intensity spectrum—from warm-ups to sprints. Despite its professional features, the bike weighs just 19 kg, making it easy to move and store at home.

Committed to making competitive fitness accessible to households worldwide, PitPat continues to innovate the home sports experience. With full system compatibility across DeerRun treadmills, cycling bikes, and other smart gear, PitPat enables users to join a variety of virtual events—including ranked matches, mileage milestones, and 1v1 PK battles—anytime, anywhere. The platform enhances engagement through reward systems, point stores, and achievement incentives, making fitness more fun and sustainable.

In parallel, PitPat is advancing personalized training algorithms, performance tracking, and motivational programs to create a closed-loop experience that spans training, competition, and reward—all within the home environment.

“Our vision is simple: fitness should never be limited by time, space, or equipment,” said Kevin Zhang, Founder of PitPat. “By combining the world’s leading virtual competition platform with DeerRun’s cutting-edge smart fitness devices, we’re bringing the joy of competitive exercise into every household. Our new ‘Home Sports Ecosystem’ not only redefines the home workout experience but gives every individual their own race track—right in their living room. Through tech innovation and platform integration, we aim to inspire more people to move and create a fitness environment that’s fair, engaging, and purpose-driven.”

Looking Ahead: Expanding the Global Reach of Virtual Sports

PitPat remains committed to advancing the integration of virtual competitions and home-based fitness. The platform plans to launch a series of global events and themed fitness seasons over the next year, empowering users to achieve more meaningful milestones and redefining the future of fitness competition for a worldwide audience.

RALEIGH, N.C., July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Edge One Capital discloses its proposal for BuzzFeed by Varun Gupta.

BuzzFeed is at a crucial moment, where it has the chance to create sustainable, long-lasting value. Despite possessing a formidable brand equity, a substantial media footprint, and a wealth of underutilized intellectual property, BuzzFeed has dramatically underperformed relative to its potential. The public markets have lost confidence, not because of a lack of opportunities, but due to missed execution, governance inefficiencies, and strategic inertia.

BuzzFeed can unlock substantial shareholder value through a bold, modern transformation across four key areas:

1. Establish a Digital Asset Treasury Strategy

BuzzFeed’s current balance sheet position, combined with its cultural cache and brand resonance among digital-native audiences, makes it a unique candidate to lead the next era of media and crypto convergence. A growing number of public companies—from MicroStrategy to Strive Asset Management—have adopted digital asset strategies not merely as hedges, but as capital appreciation tools and balance sheet enhancers.

BuzzFeed can allocate a portion of its treasury to Bitcoin or Solana, establishing a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT). This would:

• Signal strategic forward-thinking to investors

• Tap into new asset appreciation trends while diversifying the balance sheet.

• Attract a new demographic of crypto-native retail and institutional shareholders.

BuzzFeed could pursue partnerships with firms aligned with these goals, such as Strive Asset Management, co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy. Strive is currently going public via Asset Entities, offering a potential alignment of interests. Additionally, BuzzFeed could look to Michael Saylor’s playbook at MicroStrategy, whose Bitcoin-centric capital allocation has radically transformed its investor base and market perception.

Solana presents a unique opportunity not only to grow asset value but also to create staking rewards, which can generate cash flow.

BuzzFeed can go further: acquiring or merging with smaller, cash-rich, or crypto-native companies to consolidate treasury capital while entering new ecosystems and monetizing community engagement through NFTs, creator-based DAOs, or crypto rewards.

2. Immediate Corporate Governance Reforms Are Needed

BuzzFeed’s current corporate governance model has been criticized for its dual-class share structure, lack of board independence, and inadequate capital allocation discipline. As activist investors, we see this not only as a risk but as a problem that can be solved.

We urge the Board to:

• Sunset or significantly reform the dual-class structure to restore voting equality

• Appoint independent directors with experience in digital finance, tokenomics, AI, and blockchain strategy.
  

• Tie executive compensation more directly to shareholder returns and operational milestones, without immediate vesting.

• Improve transparency on strategic decisions and resource allocations, particularly regarding BuzzFeed, HuffPost, and new AI initiatives.

If these changes are not made proactively, BuzzFeed risks continued stagnation in its stock price and potential shareholder revolt. One of the unspoken challenges in fixing BuzzFeed’s corporate governance is that any meaningful reform could put Jonah Peretti and other insiders at personal risk—risk of losing control, influence, or even their positions entirely. It’s understandable why there might be hesitation.

Addressing corporate governance challenges will help restore investor confidence and expand access to capital markets for new investors, while also creating opportunities for BuzzFeed. Even a start or attempt to address corporate governance challenges will bolster investor confidence. BuzzFeed has chosen to remain silent on many of the issues that investors, such as Bill Pulte, have brought up. Craven avoidance of engagement must be replaced with open and constructive dialogue with all investors.

3. Monetize Intellectual Property Through Products and Tokenization

BuzzFeed has decades of IP, formats, and viral characters that remain underutilized. From Tasty and Quiz brands to BuzzFeed Unsolved, this content has potential far beyond ad revenue.

The Company should explore:

• Tokenizing digital IP via NFTs, limited edition creator access passes, or interactive Web3 fan experiences

• Licensing characters, brands, and formats for physical product lines, games, or metaverse integrations

• Exploring blockchain-based revenue sharing with creators to deepen loyalty and unlock new monetization models

• Launching a BuzzToken or TastyCoin tied to exclusive content access, physical merchandise, or fan voting

Additionally, partnering with platforms like Solana could give BuzzFeed a first-mover advantage in media-token convergence, with minimal upfront cost and maximum community upside.

4. Repair Investor Relations

In the last three quarters, the company’s earnings calls have been alarmingly short and uninformative, with one lasting under nine minutes. This level of engagement is simply not enough—if BuzzFeed wants investor support, it must demonstrate that it is putting in the effort to earn it.

To repair credibility and expand its valuation multiple, BuzzFeed must start by holding substantial quarterly calls, providing full Q&A time, discussing financials, AI investments, the BF Island timeline (which has been delayed), and monetization efforts. These changes will rebuild investor confidence and revive support for the stock.

BuzzFeed is a brand with extraordinary cultural cache and financial upside—if bold action is taken. Through a digital asset treasury strategy, governance reform, IP monetization, and improved investor relations, BuzzFeed can shift from stagnation to revival. This is not a media company in decline; it is a modern digital brand waiting to be reborn through better leadership and sharper strategic execution.
