LBI Weekly Holdings and Income report - Year 2, Week 29 - week ending 15 Feb 2026
Another week roles by, and That means it is time for another LBI update post. We have ended the week pretty much where we started in terms of fund value, but as always there is more to it than the bottom line, so let's look into what has happened over the week.
Here are the prices at cut-off time:

Assets.
@lbi-token
The main changes this week are an increase in the funds in the PWR pool and more DUO accumulated. We have hit p2 on the DUO rich-list, and continue to increase our position. DUO's dividends are very reliable, and my goal is to build up to 10,000 DUO holding for the long term. The PWR project is in limbo at the moment, with the delegation option shut down, and the founder away from HIVE. But the assets are still there and the pool has plenty of yield set aside for us to collect.
All DUO yields were received as expected.
@lbi-leo
I've sold a few tokens here and there from the Leostrategy collection over the week. Just a small amount of TTSLA and SURGE, to have funds for other things. surge's price has been recovering a bit.
So much missing yield from the "RWA" assets. In the last 7 days we have received:
- 2 out of 7 TGLD payments
- 0 out of 7 TTSLA
- 0 out of 7 TNVDA
- 1 of 1 SURGE
So that is just 3 payments from an expected 22.
It's still the Hive nodes. @leostrategy are building their own, hopefully these issues will be resolved soon.
@lbi-dab
Purchased another 100 DAB, and a few more RUG to get us to a nice round 10,000.
Aside from the buys, we minted 39.197 DBOND over the week, and 52.503 DAB. 91.7 Total HIVE asset growth combined - nice but still not 100 per week yet.
All 7 DAB yields (liquid) came in as expected this week. The expected amount of staked DBOND from holding staked DAB was also received.
@lbi-eds
No changes here again this week. 47 EDSI growth for the week.
EDSI yield came in as expected this week
@lbi-cent
I've been trickling more funds in to this wallet, and we are pulling 10 LEO per day out of the pool yields for income. This is about half the total pool yields and the other half is compounding back in. I plan to continue slowly increasing this wallet, with the HBD pool being the initial goal as it is only a small position for us compared to the other pools.
@lbi-bbb
This is the wallet I've been using to perform the "buy-backs" we have been doing. The desired goal has been achieved and the pool prices are now a much more accurate reflection of our asset backed value. It is my intention to build up a little fund here of HIVE to build a solid buy wall at 95% of the asset backed value, to maintain our "peg" so to speak, and further boost the liquidity of LBI. The pools are intended as the main source of liquidity, but if we can backstop that with a solid buy wall, then it makes LBI a much safer investment. Anyway, I plan to boost funds in here over the coming weeks, not to buy back and burn now, but to build a buy wall and then re-list any tokens bought at 105% of the asset backed price.
Totals
We finish the week just under $22,000 which is real close to where we finished last week. We are up a bit in terms of both HIVE and LEO, which is nice.
We remain around the 50% LEO assets, and 50% "everything else".
Income
All sources of income have been consistent this week, except for Leostrategy as noted above. We have the base in place for much higher income, we just have to be patient for our biggest source of yield to get things working...
226 LEO sent out as dividends this week. 12.253 LBI burned from this regular weekly burn. See below for details of our extra burn's. The @lbi-pool wallet is accumulating LEO, but many of our pools will need renewing over the coming month or two. This is why the delayed yield is so frustrating, I need to fund these pools soon but the income is lower than needed.
Burns.
Over the last week we have used another 1500 HIVE to buy and burn more LBI. So as you can see we now have used 7000 HIVE total to buy and burn 5877.356 LBI all up, at an average price of 1.191 each.
The goal of this program has been achieved, and the LBI pools now sit at a price that is representative of our asset backing. As mentioned above, I'm planning to build a buy wall into the market to maintain decent prices and give LBI holders more confidence that they can get fair value if they need to sell their tokens. Obviously we don't have the liquidity to handle big amounts in one hit, but that is where I'd like to get to.
The best way LBI holders can help this process is by putting some tokens in the pools. Those that have stayed in during these buy backs have been hit by Impermanent loss. Hopefully the short term pain is offset by a stronger LBI price that reflects our assets, and a growing income that can fund more pool rewards to entice more tokens into pools.
Liquidity
Here are our pools and the trade volume over the last 7 days.
Using Beeswap, we now have 18,401 LBI spread across all the pools. This is down from 19,011 last week, and down from 22,721 in the pools prior to starting the buy back campaign.
Back when I floated the idea of doing the burn campaign there were a couple of I.L. calculations done in the comments section. @bozz's outcome has actually been worse than expected, with a bigger shift from LBI to LEO in that pool than predicted. However the excess is the result of LEO price moves which would have happened anyway. The prediction made for @sk1920 was much more accurate, with the calculation being much closer to the outcome. I simply highlight these two outcomes as examples to keep in mind for potential LP's. As much as I'd love lot's more LBI in the pools, people need to understand the risks.
Conclusion
I'm delighted that our token price now reflects more accurately our book value. Next goal is to try and maintain this relationship long term. Overall, the week was ok for us, we continue on our path and keep building our wallets. Income remains a frustration, but I've mentioned it repeatedly in the post so I think you all get the picture.
Hope you all have a great week ahead.
Thanks for checking in with this weeks update,
Cheers,
@jk6276 for LBI
One more thing, @askrafiki can you please summarize LBI's week and give an opinion on our funds progress.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ ALERT ⚠️⚠️⚠️
HIVE coin is currently at a critically low liquidity. It is strongly suggested to withdraw your funds while you still can.
Great report as always. Good to hear the token price and book value are coming together.
It's been hard trying to keep my interest here lately due to all the negative numbers that keep coming. Not getting most of the Leo Strategy yields doesn't help much either. Hopefully they can get that sorted out soon.
At least LBI and SPI seem to be steady. :)
Hey mate, yes it's tough to keep positive in the face of persistent negative HIVE sentiment. I think that was part of what motivated me to do the buy-backs and bring the token price up, at least it would feel like we are doing ok despite it all.
The LSTR tokens yields are frustrating me big time, everything else we own is working just fine. But we'd lose big time if I dumped all our tokens from them, so waiting and hoping they sort it out is all we can do really.
Thanks as always for checking in.
Of what I see we have over 600 Hive in buy orders at price above the level you started buybacks. This means that there's no imminent need to place new buy orders there. Nevertheless, I'd build up some Hive on @lbi-bbb account for future needs. I'd also made this account a 10% content rewards beneficiary and delegate its HP to @ecency.
Thanks for the report! As always, appreciated.
500 of that 600 is us, so the support on the bid side of the market is not as strong yet as it may seem. I'd like to keep a decent buy wall in place, many Hive people still don't trade through the pools and I'd like people to get a fair price if they choose to (or need to) sell.
Thanks for checking in.
IMHO we should also think about what we do when HBD depegs. It's going to happen. Someone with $70k might do it in this very moment.
I guess, since stabilizer would still operate, in case of depegging we should buy more HBD cheaper as it will return to $1 at some point. So I guess, we should stock up some liquid cash.
Yeah, a depeg is something we need a plan for. I'm not as convinced that it is inevitable, likely yes but time will tell. I guess the best way to be ready would be to hold some funds liquid as USDT or BTC or something not connected to HIVE. If HBD de-pegs, it means HIVE has gone further down, and then we don't benefit. Needs to be a neutral asset, likely USDT is the best option.
I feel very pessimistic because no counter measure are implemented. To make things worse 3 new proposals got voted through (HBD stabilizer included; not really mad about that one). The effects of other 2 are already noticeable by debt ratio. In less than 2 weeks it has risen from 20 to 25%. Of course it will be harder now, but still no action against it is being taken and new active proposals only worsen the thing.
Some BTC/USDT/USDC exposure won't hurt in these circumstances.
Need to figure out what to shuffle into BTC/USDT/USDC for safety. Do we pull HBD from savings? Sell some assets? I don't want to hurt income (more than it is already suffering from missed yield payments. 😒 )
I'll have a think.
As far as I understand things HBD after depegging will reach its peg due to stabilizer (it currently returns more HBD to DHF than it gets from it, so there's more than 12k HBD force behind it). So I'd keep HBD in savings for that purpose. Also I'd get more if available at discount.
We might have a vote or community discussion on where to acquire funds for BTC/USDT.
Maybe we should not sell productive assets, but use income for that purpose.
Just sold some SURGE and opened a BTC/ETH pool position to get started. They both will likely outperform HIVE in the short term, and the position is liquid so if the chance arises to pick up cheap HBD, HIVE or whatever then we have a slush fund available.
It's not a lot, but we still have a few thousand HIVE coming from the PWR wallet shutdown that can go here, and can scape some other stuff.
Anyway, we shall see what happens.
Nice work on fixing the token price. I'm not too mad that LEO is down a bit, but it wish it was closer to a 1-1 match with HIVE. It would make me feel better about making some moves.
Yeah, I'm surprised LEO has not held up better and is back around 0.42 HIVE, thought it would fare better tbh.
Might need to shift some funds into safer things, do you feel now a HBD de-peg (a significant one) is likely? Should we shift some to USDT or BTC or something?
Well, I can't say for sure about that, but I wouldn't be shocked if we saw the interest rate drop yet again. If it helps you out at all, I moved pretty much all of my HBD out of savings and into other things including liquid HIVE. I have another chunk getting released in a day or two and I will likely move that into HIVE and power it up.
Hmm yeah, food for thought. I am looking at the swap.btc/swap.eth pool on HE as a place to park some funds. I don't like having funds in non-income producing investments, but at least they would be liquid and available for opportunities, and likely to outperform HIVE/HBD if we keep going down.
maybe some USDT or USDC if we are real bearish?
Those seem to be the safest bet if not absolutely boring! :)
Opened up a little pool position for us to build on, BTC and ETH exposure.
Not good at trading or timing markets, but surely they will be safer than HIVE in the current climate.
Couldn't hurt!
