In a recent episode of ThreadGuy Live on CounterParty TV, $CARDS CEO Tuomi Holmberg dropped some major updates that have the crypto community buzzing. Hosted by @NotThreadGuy, the discussion dove into the Pokémon card meta and revealed exciting details about $CARDS' financial performance and future plans.

For those new to $CARDS, it's a meme token on the Solana blockchain that's revolutionizing collectibles. Tied to the Collector Crypt platform, it digitizes physical Pokémon trading cards into NFTs. Users can buy sealed packs, open them through a gacha system—a randomized vending machine mechanic popular in games—and trade or redeem the cards. This bridges the nostalgia of traditional trading cards with the power of blockchain, tapping into a massive $30 billion collectibles market.

During the podcast, Holmberg shared impressive numbers: "We've done about $75 million worth of revenue on the Gacha Machine for the last 9 months." Out of that, the project has generated $7-10 million in pure profit this year alone. That's no small feat for a meme token, especially one that's only been around since late August 2025.

But here's where it gets even more interesting for $CARDS holders. Holmberg explained their strategy for reinvesting profits: "We are going to take some profits; those will go into the token." The team plans to funnel revenues into the token treasury, using them for buybacks and acquiring more trading cards. This creates a positive feedback loop—buying cards at discounted prices (around 85 cents each), processing them through the gacha system, and selling at market value for a 15% gain on average.

All gains from this process, plus fees from Raydium LP swaps, go straight into the treasury. As Holmberg put it, "We're taking all sources of revenue and income from the ecosystem and we will stick them right into the token treasury. And we're just going to buy more trading cards with them." This approach not only builds real value but also supports token price stability through buybacks.

The tokenomics back this up nicely. With a total supply of 2 billion tokens, a market cap hovering around $324 million, and solid liquidity on Raydium, $CARDS is positioned for growth. Trading pairs like CARDS/USDC make it accessible, and the project's focus on utility—think staking, lending, and collateralizing assets—sets it apart from typical hype-driven memes.

Community reactions on X were quick to follow. Users like @Rober11860Isaac noted, "That's huge for CARDS holders... Reinvesting profits back into the treasury and buybacks is a solid move." Others expressed curiosity about watching the full recording, highlighting the growing interest in $CARDS' real-world asset (RWA) integration.

If you're into meme coins with actual utility, $CARDS is worth watching. It combines the fun of Pokémon collecting with blockchain innovation, and these profit revelations show it's not just talk—it's delivering results.
