On August 22, 2025, Blackstone (NYSE:BX) saw a surge in trading activity, with a volume of $0.89 billion, a 47.99% increase from the previous day, ranking it 104th in market activity. The asset manager’s shares rose 4.32%, reflecting investor confidence amid strategic developments.

A wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackstone, Wapping Bidco Ltd, has increased its stake in Warehouse REIT plc to 30.25% of issued shares, triggering a mandatory cash offer for the remaining equity. The move follows the acquisition of 71,054,871 additional shares, bringing total holdings to 128,508,597. The offer price remains at 113.4 pence per share, with Bidco now requiring over 50% acceptance to proceed. Should ownership reach 75% or 90%, further delisting or compulsory acquisition steps may follow.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day yielded a total profit of $2,550 from 2022 to the present. Cumulative returns reached 255%, though with a maximum drawdown of -22.3%, highlighting the strategy’s volatile yet ultimately profitable nature over the period.
