BC.GAME Token $BC Breaks Above $0.01, Up 23% in 24 Hours

Published

By

BELIZE CITY, Belize, June 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BC.GAME‘s platform token $BC recently broke above the $0.01 mark, reaching a high of $0.0116 on June 14, 2026, with a 24-hour increase of 23%. The milestone comes as BC.GAME continues to develop the $BC ecosystem and roll out updates to BC Engine, further clarifying the token‘s role within the platform.

$BC is the core platform token of the BC.GAME ecosystem. Players can earn $BC rewards when participating in casino games or sportsbook betting on BC.GAME. These rewards are then connected to BC Engine, where users can view their balance, staking status, unclaimed rewards and historical reward distributions in one place.

Launched on April 8, BC Engine is BC.GAME’s in-platform reward mechanism built around $BC. It connects player activity, platform engagement and reward distribution, making $BC more than a one-time reward and turning it into a token that can be used for ongoing participation within the BC.GAME ecosystem.

Over the past few weeks, BC.GAME has continued to expand BC Engine‘s ecosystem partnerships. BETBY, Croco Gaming, BC Originals and other platform ecosystem contributors have joined BC Engine, contributing a portion of platform-related proceeds to the reward pool for $BC stakers.

As BC.GAME enters the football season campaign period, sportsbook betting, casino games and seasonal reward activities are continuing across the platform. Within this activity cycle, $BC plays a role in connecting player participation with BC.GAME’s reward mechanism, becoming a more important participation layer within the ecosystem.

BC.GAME said it will continue to focus on expanding $BC’s in-platform use cases, reward mechanisms and ecosystem partnerships. Through BC Engine, BC.GAME will keep developing the distribution, staking, reward and burn mechanisms around $BC, creating a more direct connection between platform activity and user participation.

As IT Infrastructure Costs Rise, LCRServix Brings Lenovo Certified Refurbished Servers to Hong Kong Businesses

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Walk into almost any SME in Kwun Tong or Sham Shui Po and ask the owner what keeps them up at night. Rent, yes. Talent, always. But increasingly: the cost of keeping IT infrastructure competitive.

Enterprise servers — the backbone of many serious business operations — can require significant capital investment when purchased new. For Hong Kong’s 355,425 SMEs, accounting for over 98% of all businesses in the city according to the Hong Kong Trade and Industry Department, that is not just a line item. It is a business decision.

WINMAX (HONGKONG) ELECTRIC CO., LIMITED believes there is a better way.

Today, the company launched LCRServix, its enterprise IT platform, and announced that WINMAX is an authorized Lenovo Value Recovery (LVR) partner in Hong Kong. Through LCRServix, WINMAX is authorized to sell Lenovo certified refurbished enterprise servers, backed by Lenovo warranty coverage and genuine Lenovo parts, at prices up to 40% lower than comparable new Lenovo configurations, depending on model, availability, and configuration. The platform serves SMEs, system integrators, and enterprise operations teams in Hong Kong, and may support selected Southeast Asian / Asia-Pacific markets subject to availability and local requirements.

This is not grey-market hardware. Lenovo Value Recovery products are certified and refurbished through Lenovo processes and supported by Lenovo testing standards, warranty coverage, and genuine Lenovo components. Through a local partner they can call, visit, and trust, Hong Kong businesses can now access more cost-effective enterprise server options with added assurance.

“Many businesses still assume refurbished hardware means risk,” said Wesley, CEO of WINMAX (HONGKONG) ELECTRIC CO., LIMITED. “The Lenovo LVR program helps change that perception. These servers are refurbished and tested through Lenovo processes and supported by Lenovo warranty coverage. The main difference is cost — and for businesses watching margins in the current economy, that difference matters.”

Why Now

Hong Kong’s data center and enterprise IT market is under pressure from multiple directions: rising operational costs, increasing ESG and e-waste management expectations, and a post-pandemic push to modernize legacy infrastructure on tight budgets. As businesses face growing pressure to modernize infrastructure for AI workloads, hybrid operations, and cybersecurity requirements, many SMEs are struggling to balance performance needs with budget constraints.

Certified refurbished hardware sits at the intersection of these priorities: helping reduce capital expenditure, extending the useful life of enterprise equipment, reducing e-waste, and delivering the enterprise-grade reliability supported by Lenovo testing standards and warranty coverage that businesses need to stay competitive.

LCRServix believes Hong Kong’s business community is ready to reconsider the assumption that infrastructure upgrades must always require new hardware. Lenovo Value Recovery authorization provides an important trust signal for that shift.

The Numbers That Matter
