Duan Yongping responded on Xueqiu to his recent reduction in Pop Mart positions, saying, "It’s just that the put expired, and some were called away." (Meaning: The put options expired, and some stocks were called away by call options.) Earlier today, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) disclosed that H&H International Investment, managed by Duan, cut its long position in Pop Mart International Group Limited from 7.65% to 5.55% on July 30, 2026. A detailed analysis of the announcement shows the position reduction stemmed from the exercise of call options Duan had sold. Duan holds Pop Mart’s underlying shares via H&H International Investment while selling call options to earn premiums. After some call options expired and were exercised on July 30, Duan was obligated to deliver shares at the agreed price, reducing his physical share holdings. The exercise involved delivering shares at an aggregate settlement price of roughly HK$162.50, leading to a net drop of about 8.9328 million physical shares. Combined with the expiration or conversion of other option positions, this caused the disclosed total long position ratio to decline.

For children born on or after January 1, 2025, the company will also provide an additional one-time match of the $1,000 seed funding offered by the U.S. government. Phong Le, President and CEO of Strategy, stated: "Trump Accounts and the Invest in America initiative can build a stronger financial future for U.S. children. The company will match the government’s initial $1,000 contribution and provide additional annual contributions to eligible employees’ children. These accounts encourage financial literacy, long-term thinking, and a culture of saving and investing from an early age—goals that align closely with Strategy’s values and optimistic outlook for the future." A Trump Account is a tax-deferred investment account for minors under 18, invested in low-cost U.S. index funds. Children born between 2025 and 2028 will receive a one-time $1,000 seed funding from the U.S. Treasury upon registration. Strategy’s program will launch after the U.S. Treasury releases final guidelines and the employer contribution infrastructure is rolled out. The company has already announced the plan to employees during internal quarterly meetings and will share registration details with eligible staff ahead of the launch.
