Strategy released the "Bitcoin Investor Guide": Bitcoin is becoming the cornerstone of the digital capital market

Strategy publicly released the "Bitcoin Investor Guide," compiled by its team, with a revision date of September 7, 2026, and market data as of September 4. The guide is aimed at professional investors, private investors, bankers, advisors, and capital allocators, systematically elaborating on Bitcoin's monetary attributes, investment logic, market structure, portfolio role, custody methods, and risks. The core viewpoint asserts that Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset but is becoming the foundation of a new type of digital capital market—a scarce, open, global reserve asset. The long-term logic is based on scarcity, open access, global liquidity, and independent verification, and it may absorb some of the monetary premiums currently attached to gold, real estate, stocks, bonds, and artworks.Key data snapshot (as of September 4, 2026): Bitcoin price is approximately $79,809, the 200-week moving average is about $64,715 (premium of approximately 23.3%); 1-year return is approximately -28.3%, and 10-year annualized return is about 62.8%; 30-day average trading volume is around $28.3 billion, and open interest is about $96 billion; spot ETFs hold approximately 1.27 million BTC, and the total network hash rate is about 935 EH/s. The guide emphasizes Bitcoin's positioning as "digital capital": a maximum supply cap of 21 million coins, no issuer, no expiration date, no contractual cash flows, with value primarily determined by scarcity and the monetary premium assigned by the market. It can be held directly, transferred globally, and independently verified. After the U.S. SEC approves the spot Bitcoin ETP in January 2024, institutional access has significantly increased, and the infrastructure for futures, options, and custody continues to mature. In terms of risk warnings, the guide points out Bitcoin's high volatility, lack of repayment commitments, and the potential for significant price declines; self-custody and third-party custody, ETPs, corporate securities, and derivatives all carry different legal, operational, and counterparty risks; transactions are irreversible, and loss of keys can lead to permanent loss. Strategy, as a publicly listed company with significant Bitcoin holdings, has a vested interest in Bitcoin prices. The document clearly states that it is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

first_img Zodia Custody CEO Julian Sawyer stepped down and transitioned to a strategic advisor

Institutional digital asset custodian Zodia Custody's CEO Julian Sawyer announced his resignation and will take on the role of strategic advisor. In a memo sent to employees on September 10, Sawyer stated that Standard Chartered Bank's acquisition of Zodia Custody's custody business and the establishment of Zodia Solutions provided an appropriate time for him to hand over daily leadership responsibilities, and he will continue to be closely involved in company affairs.According to the memo, Zodia Custody's Chief Revenue Officer Richard Clark will lead the company’s transition to Standard Chartered Bank and will be responsible for the custody business; current executives Craig Perrin and Anoosh Arevshatian will be responsible for the establishment of Zodia Solutions. A spokesperson for Zodia Custody confirmed this personnel change. Zodia Custody is an institutional-grade digital asset custodian based in London, supported by Standard Chartered Bank and other banks, providing regulated asset custody, wallet infrastructure, staking, and over-the-counter settlement services for financial institutions, asset management companies, and others.This arrangement differs from previous plans. In May of this year, SC Ventures announced that Sawyer would serve as CEO of Zodia Solutions after the acquisition was completed. Standard Chartered Bank stated in May that Zodia's shareholders and noteholders had accepted its non-binding acquisition offer, and the custody business would be integrated into the bank's financing and securities services division, while the infrastructure platform would be spun off into Zodia Solutions, which is under SC Ventures.

first_img Samsung Electro-Mechanics proposed the direction of AI semiconductor substrate MLC integration

On September 10, Kim Sang-hoon, the head of the packaging division at Samsung Electro-Mechanics, delivered a speech at the KPCA Show International Seminar INSIGHT 2026 held at the Incheon Songdo Conference Center, proposing a multilayer core (MLC) technology direction to address the large-scale and high-multilayer challenges of AI semiconductor packaging substrates.Kim Sang-hoon stated that in the past, the single-layer core (SLC) method, which increased the thickness of a single CCL, led to increased difficulty in processing internal vias and circuits as the core thickened, and the size of the vias became limited. The MLC approach shifts to a combination of CCL and PPG multilayers, or even a mixed structure of two CCLs, which can simultaneously enhance rigidity and wiring freedom, while also allowing for ground or signal wiring to be arranged in the PPG layer. A bonding layer added between the two CCLs can provide more stable support for the substrate, but the process is more complex.Currently, the commonly used bump pitch in mass production is above 90μm, with around 85μm being the turning point for printed fine solder ball processes. The difficulty significantly increases around 80μm, and the 55-45μm range may shift towards metal bumps. Glass cores are another option, offering higher rigidity and lower thermal expansion coefficients, which help reduce warping in large packages, but issues related to fragility and micro-hole plating technology need to be addressed. The substrate must meet signal integrity, power integrity, and mechanical integrity requirements simultaneously, with high-performance packaging substrate layers expected to evolve from about 20 layers at the 90mm level to 120mm and even more than 40 layers.

first_img Samsung Electro-Mechanics and LG Innotek advance Intel's EMIB-T substrate supply

According to a report by ZDNet Korea on the 9th, Samsung Electro-Mechanics and LG Innotek are advancing into the Intel EMIB-T packaging substrate supply chain, with related product development and testing already underway. EMIB connects chips with small silicon bridges, which Intel previously used mainly for its own chips; the improved EMIB-T is expanding external sales. The next-generation AI accelerator TPU that Google plans to launch in the second half of next year will be the first to use EMIB-T. EMIB-T inserts silicon vias for power transmission within the silicon bridge.Insiders say that Samsung Electro-Mechanics has developed EMIB substrate samples over the years and is currently advancing EMIB-T supply based on the 2.1D packaging substrate concept. Recently, LG Innotek delivered EMIB-T packaging substrates to SK Hynix for sample testing, and both parties are installing HBM on the substrate to evaluate product characteristics.Currently, EMIB-T packaging substrates are supplied by Japan's Ibiden, Shinkawa Electric, Taiwan's Xinxing Electronics, and Austria's AT&S. Ibiden has decided to utilize idle factories to construct a dedicated production line for Intel's EMIB-T substrates, with an investment scale of about 20 trillion Korean won, and it is reported that they have already received advance payments from Google, Amazon, Intel, and others.

first_img AUSTRAC in Australia revoked the registrations of 45 cryptocurrency and remittance institutions within a year

Australia's financial intelligence agency AUSTRAC has canceled, suspended, or refused to renew the registrations of 45 cryptocurrency and remittance service providers in the past year to strengthen the scrutiny of high-risk payment businesses. The involved institutions faced issues such as inactivity, insolvency, or lack of operational capability, as well as failure to report significant changes, incorrect registration information, and significant money laundering or terrorism financing risks. AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas stated that businesses whose registrations have been canceled are not allowed to continue operations, and some related individuals have been referred to domestic and international law enforcement or regulatory agencies. AUSTRAC specifically mentioned BA Digital Ventures operating under the name GetCoins, whose virtual asset registration was canceled in June due to customer complaints, allegedly because the platform was exploited by organized cryptocurrency investment scams, with related actions conducted in cooperation with the national anti-fraud center. The public VASP registration list also included recent disposals of institutions such as Cryptolink, Self Custody, Jam Xchange, and Coinsec Australia. Additionally, AUSTRAC has launched an investigation into Western Union and suspended the cryptocurrency ATM network of Cryptolink.
