Billionaire NFT collector Adam Weitsman bought 117 Pudgy Penguins NFTs over the October 10–11 weekend. Weitsman explained that he made the purchases to support the collection and its community through a difficult period sparked by uncertainty over Abstract's planned shutdown.[1][2][3]

The buying spree coincided with a sharp rebound in trading metrics. Analytics Insight reported that the collection's floor price jumped 16.7% in 24 hours, while market commentator wyck noted a rise of about 14%. A marketplace screenshot shared by wyck showed a floor price of $6,830.43, up 13.4% in one day, with 24-hour trading volume reaching $1.7 million. In addition, BSCNews reported that weekly sales climbed 125.66% through October 10, according to data from CryptoSlam.[1][2][3]

Despite the immediate price lift, the collection remains well below historical highs. At its peak in December 2024, the lowest-priced Pudgy Penguin cost roughly $145,728, compared to an approximate floor of $6,650 following the weekend buys. According to wyck, a buyer who purchased at the peak would still be sitting on a loss of roughly $139,000, or approximately 95% on a single NFT.[2]
