What it means if you hold data

This transaction shows how a brand's digital assets, particularly its customer list and social media following, can retain significant value and be sold as a standalone package even when the physical retail operations are being completely liquidated. It serves as a case study for valuing and monetizing the IP of a failed retail business.
