Martin Shkreli Comments on -1.5% Market Shift in Latest Online Series

Martin Shkreli, known for his controversial past in the pharmaceutical industry and subsequent legal battles, issued a cryptic tweet on June 30, 2025, stating, "6/30/25 -1.5% part three." This social media post appears to be part of an ongoing series of market commentary he delivers through live online streams, with other videos from the same date showing similar percentage fluctuations.

The tweet’s reference to "part three" aligns with his recent digital engagements, including YouTube live streams titled "6/30/25 -2%" and "6/30/25 +2% (part three)." These streams suggest Shkreli is actively providing his analysis or observations on daily market movements or specific financial instruments, continuing his presence in online financial discourse.

Shkreli has recently re-emerged in the financial speculation arena, particularly within the cryptocurrency space. In May 2025, reports indicated his involvement with SharpLink Gaming (SBET), a sports-betting marketing company. SharpLink Gaming announced a $425 million funding round aimed at building an Ethereum treasury, a move that saw its stock "bolt 1078%," according to Investors.com, with Shkreli reportedly placing a significant bet on the venture.

His continued public activity comes despite a lifetime ban from the pharmaceutical industry and a conviction for securities fraud, for which he served a prison sentence. Shkreli's notoriety also persists through ongoing legal disputes, such as the lawsuit initiated by PleasrDAO, a cryptocurrency collective, over the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album, "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin."

"6/30/25 -1.5% part three," Shkreli stated in his tweet, hinting at a continuation of his market observations.

A federal judge in August 2024 ordered Shkreli to turn over all copies of the rare album, following allegations that he retained digital copies and distributed them in violation of the terms under which PleasrDAO acquired it. These various engagements underscore Shkreli's persistent, albeit controversial, presence in both financial and public spheres.
