G6 Hospitality’s Revenue Management Program Delivers Double-Digit Growth and Outperforms Market

G6 Hospitality LLC

G6 Hospitality, parent company of Motel 6 and Studio 6, today announced the results of its Revenue Management Services (RMS) program, which continues to deliver superior performance for participating properties compared to the broader portfolio and the market at large. The RMS program leverages proprietary automation tools, daily competitive set monitoring, and bi-weekly strategy calls with dedicated revenue managers. These initiatives allow general managers to focus on guest experience while G6’s experts optimize pricing, channel mix, and promotional strategies. Properties enrolled in the G6 Revenue Management Services program saw an impressive 11% year-over-year revenue growth in the first quarter of 2025, more than double the growth rate of the rest of the portfolio and significantly ahead of industry benchmarks. These properties also achieved a 10% higher Average Daily Rate (ADR) compared to non-RMS properties, reflecting the program’s effectiveness in optimizing pricing and maximizing revenue opportunities. The RMS program’s impact is especially pronounced on G6’s app & website. In Q1 2025, properties under revenue management saw web and app channel growth of 11.5%, while the rest of the portfolio experienced a 4.4% decline. This digital uplift is driven by advanced dynamic pricing, OTA optimization, and a dedicated central performance marketing team that ensures each property is positioned to capture demand across all segments. The program continued to demonstrate momentum in April 2025. Revenue-managed properties posted a 9% revenue growth for the month, compared to just 0.7% for non-revenue managed hotels. Web channel growth for RMS properties stood at 11%, dramatically outpacing the 0.6% growth for non-RMS properties. Average Daily Rate (ADR) for RMS properties reached $78.24, a significant premium over the $66.68 ADR for non-managed properties. “Our Revenue Management Services program is designed to empower our franchisees with cutting-edge tools, strategic expertise, and real-time data to drive results,” said Sonal Sinha, CEO of G6 Hospitality. “The success we’re seeing—higher ADR, more direct bookings, and significant revenue growth—demonstrates the value of our hands-on, data-driven approach. We’re proud to help our partners outperform the market and deliver exceptional value to their guests.” This announcement follows G6 Hospitality’s recent launch of the AI-powered My6 app, which delivers a faster, more personalized booking experience and has already driven a 14% year-over-year increase in direct bookings. Together, these initiatives underscore G6 Hospitality’s commitment to leveraging technology and data to drive growth, enhance guest satisfaction, and support franchisee success.

California's Donor Milk Law Creates Need for More Milk Donors as Demand Surges 30%

The Mothers' Milk Bank

Six months after California's groundbreaking Assembly Bill 3059 expanded insurance coverage and hospital access to life-saving donor milk, Mothers’ Milk Bank California is facing a 30% surge in demand, leaving vulnerable newborns at risk of going without this essential nutrition. Mothers’ Milk Bank California is urging eligible nursing mothers to donate and help meet the growing needs of medically fragile newborns across the state. AB3059, also known as the Human Milk Bill, mandates commercial insurance coverage for medically necessary pasteurized donor human milk, treating it as an essential health benefit. It also clarifies that hospitals do not need a tissue bank license to distribute milk from a licensed tissue bank, eliminating a key barrier to access. While this legislation represents a tremendous victory for vulnerable infants and their families by making life-saving donor milk more accessible and affordable, it has created an unprecedented surge in demand that is straining the current supply. The expanded insurance coverage means more families can now access donor milk for their medically fragile babies, but the donor base has not kept pace with the new surge in demand for human milk. Without additional donors, wait times for families may increase, and some infants who desperately need donor milk may face delays in receiving this vital nutrition. The success of AB3059 depends not only on policy change but on community action. Eligible mothers can help bridge this supply gap to try to ensure every baby who needs donor milk can receive it without delay. “This is a breakthrough in equitable neonatal care,” said Jennifer Benito, CEO of Mothers’ Milk Bank California. “But we need the public’s help to meet the rising demand to try to ensure that every baby receives this lifesaving nourishment.” In 2023, California recorded over 36,000 preterm births, and many of these fragile infants relied on donor milk to thrive. Now, use of donor milk is increasing not only in NICUs but also in Well Baby and Postpartum units, where emerging research shows it may reduce feeding complications, support gut health, and lower the risk of hospital readmissions, even for full-term newborns. “We’ve normalized blood donation as a vital act of generosity. It’s time we do the same for breast milk,” said Benito. “Because of AB3059, Mothers’ Milk Bank California is seeing a dramatic 30% increase in demand for donor milk—a spike we believe is directly tied to expanded insurance coverage and the removal of the tissue bank license requirement for hospitals. Every ounce donated can mean the difference between stability and struggle for a newborn.” New Ways to Donate: Easier Than Ever To meet this moment, Mothers’ Milk Bank California is expanding access and support for donors with multiple convenient options: Saturday Donor Screening Appointments Now Available To better support busy families, Mothers’ Milk Bank California now offers virtual donor screenings on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Prospective donors can schedule an appointment by visiting our website or calling 1-877-375-6645 (option 3). At-Home Milk Pick-Up: June 23 – August 15, 2025 Donating milk is now as simple as opening your front door. From Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, eligible donors in San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda Counties can schedule doorstep milk pick-up. Need help with packing? We’ve got you covered—just mention it when confirming your pickup.

News Release

Public Companies Are Turning to Crypto: 4 Stocks Leading the Treasury Revolution

DBKSF MSTR SBET DFDV

A new financial playbook is emerging among public companies in 2025: replace traditional cash reserves with crypto assets. Once considered fringe, crypto treasury strategies—allocating corporate capital to digital currencies—are rapidly going mainstream. The shift began with MicroStrategy’s bold Bitcoin purchases in 2020, but this year, the trend has accelerated across multiple blockchains. From large caps to speculative tech players, companies are turning to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and newer entrants like Sonic coin to protect against inflation, earn yield, and attract a new generation of investors. What was once an eccentric bet has now evolved into a diversified movement. Public companies are not just buying crypto—they’re staking it, building validator infrastructure, and generating passive yield. For investors, these businesses offer exchange-listed exposure to digital assets, often with strategic advantages like regulatory clarity, leverage, or ecosystem access. Below are four companies at the forefront of this movement. 1. Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR)—The Bitcoin Benchmark Formerly known as MicroStrategy, Strategy is the original corporate crypto bull. As of June 2025, the company holds 580,955 BTC, valued at approximately $61.4 billion USD, making it the largest public holder of Bitcoin by far. Its strategy is unapologetically aggressive: borrow capital through convertible notes and share offerings, then deploy that cash into Bitcoin. Strategy treats BTC as a superior treasury reserve asset, betting on its long-term appreciation over fiat. CEO Michael Saylor has framed the move as both a hedge against inflation and a bold capital allocation thesis. This leveraged Bitcoin position has fundamentally changed the company’s identity. No longer judged on software revenues, Strategy now trades as a quasi–Bitcoin ETF with embedded operational leverage. Its stock has soared nearly 3,000% since initiating the pivot, becoming a proxy for institutional BTC exposure and a playbook many are beginning to replicate. 2. Spetz Inc. (CSE: SPTZ | OTC: DBKSF)—The Sonic Coin Specialist Spetz Inc. is at the vanguard of next-generation altcoin treasury strategies, centered on Sonic coin ($S)—the native token of the Sonic blockchain, a high-speed, low-cost Layer 1 network gaining traction in developer activity and decentralized finance. As of June 2025, Spetz holds 6 million $S tokens purchased at an average of $0.39 USD, giving it a crypto treasury valued at over $3.3 million CAD. Instead of simply holding tokens, the company operates a Sonic validator node —earning an estimated 4.62% APY in staking rewards while directly supporting the chain’s security and governance. This validator model turns idle capital into a productive asset, creating a recurring yield stream and positioning Spetz as a core infrastructure player in a fast-scaling blockchain ecosystem. The company is also exploring additional yield strategies, including smart contract–enabled staking pools and integrations with Sonic-native DeFi protocols—marking a shift from passive tokenholder to active crypto-native allocator. In May, Spetz completed a $10 million CAD private placement to accelerate this strategy. The funds will support validator expansion, token accumulation, and deeper integration with the Sonic ecosystem. The company is also evaluating cross-chain staking and yield aggregation across upcoming Sonic Layer 2 networks, reinforcing its long-term vision as an infrastructure-driven treasury operator. For investors, Spetz offers early-stage, high-conviction exposure to one of 2025’s most closely watched altcoin ecosystems. It provides not just financial exposure but operational leverage: token upside, staking rewards, and protocol-level participation—all without the friction or custodial risk of managing crypto assets directly. 3. SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET)—Ethereum’s Corporate Powerhouse SharpLink Gaming made headlines—and waves—when it pivoted from gaming tech to Ethereum treasury accumulation. In Q2 2025, it raised $425 million USD via PIPE financing and deployed it into 176,271 ETH, making it the largest public Ethereum holder globally. More than 95% of its ETH is staked, earning rewards via both native and liquid staking protocols. This approach is less about trading and more about long-term ETH accumulation with a recurring income stream, backed by validator rewards and DeFi integrations. Initially, markets were caught off guard—the stock dropped over 90% post-pivot—but SharpLink has since clarified its roadmap. With ties to Joseph Lubin and Consensys, the company is carving out a unique niche as a Web3-native treasury allocator, betting that Ethereum’s Layer 2 scaling, restaking protocols, and yield dynamics will compound value over time. 4. DeFi Development Corp. (NASDAQ: DFDV)—Solana’s Institutional Backer DeFi Development Corp., formerly Janover Inc., is executing one of the boldest Solana-centric treasury strategies in the public markets. With a treasury of 609,190 SOL and a recent purchase of 16,447 SOL at $139.66 USD, DFDV is following a familiar blueprint: accumulate, stake, and wait for the ecosystem to appreciate. The company has aligned itself closely with the Solana developer community and is reportedly exploring participation in validator nodes, staking pools, and liquidity provision—integrating deeper into the Solana DeFi stack. While its proposed $1 billion shelf offering has been paused, the ambition signals long-term conviction. By focusing on Solana—a chain known for speed, composability, and capital efficiency—DeFi Development is positioning itself as a yield-generating treasury operator with upside to network expansion. For investors, it’s one of the only ways to gain institutional-grade SOL exposure through an equity listing. Why Crypto Treasuries Matter in 2025 The rapid adoption of crypto treasury strategies reflects deeper shifts in how companies view capital. In a world of rising inflation, fiat dilution, and evolving investor preferences, holding cash—or even gold—is no longer enough. Digital assets offer not only appreciation potential but also yield, strategic alignment with Web3 ecosystems, and investor interest. Still, risks remain. Crypto markets are volatile, regulatory clarity varies, and altcoin-specific exposures can be speculative. But for companies willing to take the risk, the rewards have been substantial. For investors, these stocks offer a rare blend of public equity liquidity and crypto upside—without needing to manage wallets, private keys, or gas fees. As the crypto treasury model matures, expect more companies to follow suit—and more headlines to follow them. Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.

Circle IPO Outperforms – Is a Meme Fork of Pepe Coin, APORK, the Next Institutional Surprise?

Angry Pepe Fork

Crypto infrastructure is no longer a fringe bet, as demonstrated by Circle's long-awaited IPO. Circle began trading on the NYSE at above $12 and closed 38% above the listing price, all on its opening day. Layer-1 networks and stablecoin startups continue to capture capital while a brand new type of asset is taking shape in a notable way. Out of nowhere, a new meme coin is popping up in market conversations. Angry Pepe Fork ( APORK ) with its unique branding is building a multi-chain, gamified, and community-driven universe. Let's explore and see how $APORK is quietly ticking the boxes for many institutions across the industry. Circle's Strong Start Changes the Playing Field Today, Circle, the cryptocurrency company behind the stablecoin USDC, ended its journey as a public company after going public, up 33.8% (due to the U.S. Senate’s landmark bill passing) and ahead of other fintech companies and almost all analysts. June 7th EOD prices marked $82.84, a 167% gain, afterwards, neutralizing to $107.70. The IPO's success has already caused hedge funds and Venture Capitalists to rethink their views of the entire crypto industry—what parts of the crypto market may be next for serious investment? $APORK, currently in presale, is one emerging token turning viral activity into serious amounts raised. Meme Coin, or Microeconomy? At first glance, Angry Pepe Fork $APORK may be seen as another meme project, but it is much more than that. It is designed with a CommunityFi & GambleFi economy, so users can earn not only by making purchases at the early stages of the project but by also participating in project long term and earning in the platform upon launch. Could Major Institutions Buy $APORK? While pension funds and ETFs are unlikely to directly hold meme tokens in the near future, smaller institutional investors like as crypto-native venture capitalists, investment firms, and crossover firms are looking for early-stage tokens with strong engagement metrics and scalable utility. $APORK's presale, includes staking returns of over 10,000% APY, a tiered incentive structure, and integrated gamified tokenomics which has already attracted thousands of people to its community and raised hundreds of thousands to its project. Cultural Capital + On-Chain Incentives The cryptocurrency world tends to be split on whether we refer to the narrative or infrastructure first. Bitcoin is digital gold; Ethereum is programmable finance; and meme currencies are representative of culture. $APORK is bridging cultural tokens to economic utility. While we don't know if $APORK is the next institutional surprise, its rise suggests that the meme currency space is no longer a joke. This could become the next serious play. Website: https://angrypepefork.com Angry Pepe Fork is the meme coin determined to push boundaries. Focused on going viral and offering real utility and multiple earning opportunities through CommunityFi missions, GambleFi gaming, and upcoming multi-chain bridging - all powered by a passionate, community-driven ethos. This is not financial advice. Do your own research before buying any cryptocurrency. While meme coins are powerful they are also subject to volatile fluctuations in value.WHILE THE VALUE OF $APORK CAN FLUCTUATE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS WILL ALWAYS BE REWARDED.

Smart Money is Quietly Loading Up On This $160M Oncology Stock — Is Nuvectis Pharma the Next Breakout Biotech? (NASDAQ: NVCT)

Global Markets News

In a market where noise often overshadows substance, Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ:NVCT)* is delivering a signal that’s hard to ignore — sustained insider buying by one of the company’s most informed and sophisticated investors. On June 20, 2025, Charles Mosseri-Marlio, a well-known biotech investor and former pharmaceutical executive, filed a Form 4 disclosing the purchase of 33,442 additional shares of NVCT at $8.05 per share. The $270,000 transaction adds to his already significant position, which now totals just under 3 million shares through Emerald Hill Capital. This marks the third major insider buy by Mosseri-Marlio in 2025 alone — with previous purchases in February and May at lower price points. The pattern is clear: this is not opportunistic trading, it’s strategic accumulation. What makes this even more notable is Mosseri-Marlio’s background. He previously held a leadership role at Flamel Technologies (now Avadel Pharmaceuticals), where he helped secure development deals with top-tier partners like Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline. He’s not only familiar with drug pipelines — he’s built them. Combined with a track record in institutional asset management, his buying carries more weight than your average insider move. He’s not chasing momentum — he’s betting on execution. And there’s plenty in the Nuvectis pipeline to justify that bet. The company is currently advancing two first-in-class oncology candidates — NXP800 and NXP900 — both of which are in clinical trials targeting cancers with high unmet need. NXP800 is in Phase 1b development for ARID1a-mutated, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer — a devastating subtype with few effective treatments. The drug has already earned Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations from the FDA, streamlining its development and signaling strong regulatory support. Data from this trial is expected later this year, and could be a key near-term catalyst. NXP900, meanwhile, is designed to address drug resistance in advanced cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer. By inhibiting SRC and YES1 kinases, NXP900 targets the very mechanisms that allow tumors to escape the effects of EGFR and ALK inhibitors — two of the most common first-line treatments in NSCLC. After completing its Phase 1a study, the company is now preparing to launch combination trials that could demonstrate its potential to restore drug sensitivity in resistant tumors. Despite these promising programs, Nuvectis remains deeply undervalued relative to peers. The company’s market cap sits around $150 million — a fraction of other precision oncology players at similar stages. Nuvalent (NASDAQ: NUVL), for example, trades north of $6 billion with programs focused on the same indication space. Summit Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SMMT), which also targets drug-resistant cancers, surged to nearly $15 billion in valuation earlier this year following a pivotal trial result. Nuvectis isn’t there yet — but if it delivers on either of its two clinical programs, it may not be far behind. Importantly, the company is financially stable. Nuvectis raised $15.5 million in early 2025, bringing its total cash reserves to nearly $30 million as of March. That provides runway into 2027, giving it ample time to reach key milestones without returning to the market for funding. It also means less dilution risk — a crucial factor for investors in early-stage biotech. This backdrop of strong insider ownership, solid financials, and high-impact drug development is what makes the Mosseri-Marlio buying spree so compelling. He’s not the only one with conviction either — CEO Ron Bentsur and other insiders continue to hold sizable stakes and have not sold a single share. Bentsur, notably, has a track record of taking biotech companies through FDA approval and delivering real value to shareholders. Year-to-date, NVCT is up significantly but it’s still relatively under the radar. That may not last long. With clinical data expected soon, strong internal alignment, and one of the most experienced insider buyers in the sector continuing to build his position, Nuvectis Pharma may be one of the few small-cap biotechs positioned for a breakout in the second half of 2025. - News Highlights from Nuvectis Nuvectis Pharma, Inc.

Consolidated Credit Highlights Misuse of Credit Cards Among Hispanics as a Silent Threat to Their Finances

Consolidated Credit

A recent survey conducted by Consolidated Credit reveals an uncomfortable truth about credit cards: for many Hispanic families, this essential financial tool has become a double-edged sword—when mismanaged, it turns into a silent trap of debt and financial stress. More Access, More Risk According to the study, over 90% of Hispanic participants own at least one credit card. Surprisingly, 42% have between two and three cards, and 28% between four and five. Although the Hispanic Community in the U.S. prioritizes eliminating debt in 2025, the level of access to credit, without proper education, significantly increases the risk of over-indebtedness. In the U.S., total credit card debt reached $1.18 trillion in the first quarter of 2025, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This trend reflects more than just a pattern of consumption—it highlights a worrying lack of financial literacy: 61% of respondents reported learning how to manage credit cards only after falling into debt. The Impact Goes Beyond Numbers The survey found that 51% of participants feel that credit card use has negatively impacted their financial situation, and 14% regret having used them. Alarmingly, 8% stated that their misuse “ruined their lives.” These figures reveal that beyond unnecessary spending, many Hispanic families rely on credit cards to cover real needs: emergencies, basic living expenses, and maintaining their credit scores. What Do Hispanics Look for in a Credit Card? The study shows that when choosing a credit card, the most valued factors are: Low or 0% interest rate for several months: 72% No annual fee: 64% Rewards and travel miles: 54% No international fees: 18% However, using more than 30% of available credit can seriously hurt credit scores and make it harder to access loans, housing, or even jobs. A Problem with a Solution At Consolidated Credit, we firmly believe that a credit card is neither good nor bad—it all depends on how it’s used. That’s why we offer free financial education, personalized counseling, and debt management programs to help thousands of families regain control of their finances. If your credit cards have become more of a burden than a tool, you are not alone. Talk to one of our counselors today and learn how we can help you break the cycle of debt. About Consolidated Credit Consolidated Credit is one of the leading credit counseling agencies in the United States. Since 1993, it has helped over 10 million people find debt relief and improve their financial well-being. We provide personalized solutions to help consumers get out of debt responsibly, offering financial education and guidance tailored for the Hispanic community.

With a racing career dating back to 2011, Robb cut his teeth in touring car racing but turned his attention to Pikes Peak in 2016, setting a front-wheel drive record at his first attempt. Holland will be hoping his extensive experience and additional time spent on a racing simulator in preparation for the race will pay dividends this year as he aims to claim the HELLA Time Attack 1 class winner’s trophy. The second Rotek-prepared car is the HELLA-sponsored 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, which will be driven by veteran Clint Vahsholtz. The car won both the 2025 Pirelli GT America and GT4 America road racing championships, so brings an impressive pedigree. With its HELLA livery, Vahsholtz will be hoping to claim the Pikes Peak GT4 Trophy by Yokohama. Vahsholtz got his competitive start in Stock Cars and has been competing at Pikes Peak since 1992. Initially he rode motorcycles but switched to cars in 1996. With 24 class wins, predominantly in Super Stock and Open Wheel, Vahsholtz is one of the most successful racers on the Hill Climb and will be looking to add another trophy to the cabinet this year. "The entire team at HELLA is excited to partner with the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb," said Robert Tinson, Vice President at HELLA. “As HELLA celebrates more than 125 years of engineering excellence, we’re happy to share the same spirit of innovation, performance, and endurance exemplified by the 103rd running of The Race to the Clouds. In common with the organizers, drivers and teams, our company has pushed the limits of what’s possible from lighting and electronics to braking and beyond.” HELLA Sponsorship & Awards As a continuation of the brand’s awareness campaign, HELLA is the title sponsor the 2025 PPIHC Time Attack 1 Division Award. Trophies will be provided to the podium finishers in a class that includes close-bodied modified and specialized production-based two- and four-wheel drive vehicles. Eligibility is restricted to original configuration for air/fuel delivery, number of cylinders, and number of drive wheels, among the requirements. As such, the class will see a variety of machines but is dominated by Porsche models ranging from Robb’s GT3 RS Cup to the GT3 RS, GT2 RS Clubsport and 911 Turbo S. There will also be a Subaru Impreza WRX STI, BMW M2 CS Racing, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and more. For its special honors, the HELLA Hype Award will allow Pikes Peak fans to nominate their favorite driver, with final online voting happening at Fan Fest on Friday June 20. The driver with the most public votes will receive the special award from HELLA Vice President, Rob Tinson as well as a $2000 reward. The HELLA Heritage Award plus $2000 cash reward will also be presented by Tinson to the driver on the 2025 PPIHC with the most finishes during their competitive career in the historic race. All trophies and awards will be handed out during the PPIHC trophy ceremony.
