CoinShares Research Director James Butterfill stated that Bitcoin is currently facing an "unusual combination"—short-term bearish and medium-term bullish factors are present at the same time.In the short term, the U.S. core CPI rose 0.3% month-on-month in August, higher than market expectations. Butterfill said, "The CPI data is marginally negative, increasing the probability of monetary policy tightening, which may limit Bitcoin's immediate upside potential." CME FedWatch data showed that market bets on the Federal Reserve's next rate hike reached as high as 85%.In the medium term, he pointed out that the U.S. Treasury's expanded bond buyback program has failed to effectively lower long-term yields. If this situation continues, it may force authorities to implement larger intervention measures, raising concerns about currency depreciation, which would instead benefit Bitcoin and gold valuations. CoinShares believes that Bitcoin's short-term upside may be limited to below $80,000.

According to the Financial Times, the low-profile venture capital firm Vy Capital currently holds approximately $40 billion worth of SpaceX shares, with a stake of about 3.4%. According to Bloomberg data, the firm has become the fifth-largest shareholder of SpaceX, disclosing a holding size larger than that of Silicon Valley venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz. Vy Capital first invested in SpaceX in 2016 when the company's valuation was around $15 billion; after SpaceX went public this year with a valuation of about $1.75 trillion, the value of its holdings has significantly increased.Vy Capital is also the largest external investor in Elon Musk's tunnel company The Boring Company and brain-computer interface company Neuralink, and had committed $700 million for Musk's acquisition of Twitter in 2022. The firm's head, John Hering, has a close relationship with Musk, having invested over $100 million in SpaceX shortly after the Falcon 9 rocket launch failure in 2016; since 2019, he has also been involved in the early business development of Starlink, including hiring personnel and building financial models, and has held a SpaceX employee badge. Currently, Hering serves as a director of The Boring Company, and Vy Capital also participated in the company's recent $3 billion financing round.Vy Capital's assets under management have increased from $27 billion at the end of last year to $50 billion in June of this year. In a letter to investors, the firm stated that since its establishment in 2014, it has achieved a total internal rate of return of 41% and has distributed $4.6 billion to investors. Vy Capital expects that if investment judgments materialize, SpaceX's valuation will exceed $10 trillion in the next 5 to 7 years. The firm currently has only a few dozen employees, with a core investment team of four, and has stopped accepting external investors since last year.

According to a report by CNBC citing the latest financial disclosure documents, Kevin Hassett, the Director of the National Economic Council (NEC) at the White House, holds between $1 million and $5 million in Coinbase stock as of the end of 2025. Previously, Hassett served as an advisor to Coinbase from 2021 until January 2025, before joining the White House. Since the disclosure documents only cover holdings up to the end of 2025, it cannot be confirmed whether he still holds these shares.This investment has raised concerns because the NEC plays an important role in the cryptocurrency agenda of the Trump administration. Three days after Trump returned to the White House, a digital asset market working group was established within the NEC, responsible for developing regulatory, banking, stablecoin, and tax proposals for cryptocurrencies. Hassett stated that he has avoided cryptocurrency-related matters after consulting with government ethics officials, and the White House claimed he "has always and continues to fully comply with all ethical requirements." However, former SEC ethics lawyer Kantor pointed out that this holding constitutes a "significant conflict of interest" or at least presents the appearance of a conflict. Coinbase spent millions of dollars in the 2024 U.S. elections, and its CEO maintains direct contact with Trump and senior officials.

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich published a letter to shareholders stating that the company's board of directors has decided to further adjust the arrangements related to the Series 10 stock purchase warrants and cancel 41% of the related shares, resetting the conversion ratio to the level prior to the international issuance in September 2025.According to the new arrangement, the conversion ratio of the warrants to shares will be reset from the previously fixed 1:696 to 1:410. Metaplanet stated that this move will eliminate over $220 million in warrant value, reduce the number of related potential shares by 41%, and correspondingly lower the fully diluted equity, while increasing the fully diluted Bitcoin holdings per share by approximately 8.8%.In addition, all unvested warrants will be subject to longer-term exercise restrictions, with one-third becoming exercisable in 2029, 2030, and 2031, respectively. The previously agreed five-year lock-up period remains unchanged. The company will also cancel the originally planned allocation of 20% of the warrants to the employee incentive pool and will work with global compensation consultants to design a new compensation incentive plan.

According to Hong Kong 01, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng reflected on his journey from a rural area in Jiangsu to a net worth of hundreds of billions in an exclusive interview, sharing his "Four No" financial principles: do not buy stocks, do not speculate on real estate, do not trade cryptocurrencies, and do not hold excessive cash. He explained that real estate transactions are time-consuming and the returns are not worth it, and he never trades stocks or engages in short-term cryptocurrency trading, only holding long-term and selling some crypto assets when needed. "Holding fiat currency is the dumbest investment method; cash continues to depreciate."In 2013, Zhao Changpeng sold his house and invested all his money into Bitcoin, which at one point dropped two-thirds in value and remained stagnant for a year and a half. In 2017, he founded Binance, which became the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange in just five months. In 2023, he was sentenced to four months in prison for violating the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, and was pardoned by Trump last year. His current net worth is approximately $114.6 billion. He admitted that success is a matter of luck, but the key lies in consistently making the right decisions and quickly correcting mistakes.

The U.S. government previously seized the shares of Anthropic held by FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's two key allies, Caroline Ellison and Nishad Singh, and sold the related shares to existing investors of Anthropic in 2025. However, the specific buyers, transaction prices, and the amount received by the government have not been disclosed. The court previously ruled that Ellison and Singh must forfeit their shares in Anthropic. The U.S. government acquired the shares of the two in February and April 2025, respectively. The two had previously invested $10 million and $40 million to participate in Anthropic's Series B financing in 2022.As Anthropic's valuation skyrocketed, the value of their shares significantly increased. UCLA professor Olav Sorenson estimated that based on Anthropic's announced valuation of $965 billion in May this year, the total value of their holdings is approximately $4.17 billion to $5.03 billion; if Anthropic goes public at a valuation of $2 trillion in the future, the value of the related shares could reach about $5.44 billion. It is currently unclear at what price the U.S. government sold these shares. Estimates indicate that if the transaction occurred at different points in time in 2025, the proceeds from the sale of the related shares could range from approximately $250 million to $1.1 billion. Notably, as of the end of June 2026, the proceeds from the sale do not appear to have been transferred into the FTX bankruptcy estate management system. FTX victims' representative Sunil Kavuri stated that the government should use the related funds to compensate the victims; the U.S. Department of Justice claimed that it prioritizes providing compensation to victims from forfeited assets, but information regarding the sale of related assets and fund distribution is confidential.

According to reports from the major factory, ByteDance recently held a briefing on Doubao stocks and introduced new policies for relevant employees: the price of Doubao stocks was adjusted from $14.85 per share in June to $17.02 per share, an increase of about 14.6%; the issuance of Doubao stocks was increased, with some employees reaching a total package of about 5%; employees can choose to convert a certain proportion of cash in their total package into Doubao stocks, with the proportion varying by job level.This adjustment mainly targets the large model departments under Seed (pre-training, multimodal, VLM, etc.) and the Doubao main APP team under Flow. From $13.08 in April of this year to $17.02 in August, the Doubao stock has increased by about 30.1% in less than half a year, which is about twice the increase of ByteDance options during the same period (approximately 14.5%).
