According to independent analyst Markus Thielen, Strategy’s recent small-scale Bitcoin sale following its May earnings call was interpreted by the market as a test of market reaction and the flexibility of its capital allocation strategy. Analysts noted that while Strategy remains highly bullish on Bitcoin, the success and expansion of its STRC preferred stock financing instrument may take precedence in its overall financial arrangements. This move breaks the company’s “buy-only, never-sell” market image maintained for nearly six years; given Strategy’s strong influence on Bitcoin demand, this shift is quietly reshaping market expectations.

Audit firms must be registered with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM). Previously, Brazil established a regulatory framework for virtual assets through legislation in 2022 and introduced the VASP licensing category in November 2025. This latest regulation further strengthens compliance oversight of the cryptocurrency industry.

"New Stock God" Serenity stated that he had not anticipated Alphabet, Google's parent company, would need to seek financing to support its $80 billion AI capital expenditure plan, adding that the funds will be used for the AI infrastructure construction of hyperscale cloud service providers.According to his introduction, this financing includes a $40 billion ATM equity offering program, $30 billion in stock and related securities issuance, and a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway.Serenity believes that Alphabet's expansion of AI capital expenditures could benefit upstream supply chain companies such as Lumentum (LITE), Broadcom (AVGO), MediaTek, TSMC (TSM), and Micron (MU). However, he also noted that for Google shareholders, such a massive capital expenditure plan is not entirely supported by free cash flow, meaning its impact may not be entirely positive.
According to CoinDesk, Belgian digital asset services firm Keyrock plans to acquire bankrupt crypto trading and lending company BlockFills for $3.25 million. Keyrock has already been designated the “successful bidder” by the court, and final approval of the deal is pending at a hearing scheduled for June 16, 2026. BlockFills filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March this year under its parent company, Reliz Ltd., reporting liabilities between $100 million and $500 million, while holding assets valued at only $50 million to $100 million. This acquisition would grant Keyrock access to BlockFills’ institutional client network—including hedge funds, asset management firms, market makers, and mining companies—as well as its proprietary technology and intellectual property. BlockFills processed over $60 billion in trading volume in 2025 and served approximately 2,000 institutional clients. Keyrock previously completed its Series C funding round, led by SC Ventures, the investment arm of Standard Chartered Bank, achieving a valuation of $1.1 billion.
According to The Block, the DeFi lending protocol Radiant Capital has announced it will officially cease operations. The protocol suffered a hack in October 2024, losing approximately $51 million; the attacker gained unauthorized access by deploying backdoor contracts on Arbitrum and BNB Chain. Earlier in 2024, the protocol had also been hit by a flash loan attack, resulting in a loss of roughly 1,900 ETH (approximately $4.5 million). After 18 months of recovery efforts, Radiant Capital stated that it has neither recovered a significant portion of the stolen funds nor secured new financing, declaring that “the DAO has no viable path forward.” The protocol will now enter a “maintenance mode”: its frontend and smart contracts remain accessible, allowing users to withdraw funds, repay loans, and manage positions. Any funds recovered in the future will be returned to affected users.

According to Odaily, after multiple investments in Anthropic, Salesforce's stake in the company is now valued at around $5 billion. Sources say the software giant first participated in Anthropic's funding round in early 2023, investing approximately $50 million, and has continued to follow on in subsequent rounds. In this process, Anthropic has become one of the fastest-growing and most high-profile companies globally. Another software firm benefiting from an early investment in Anthropic is Zoom Communications, which has netted over $1 billion from its investment in Anthropic's Series C round in early 2023.
market analysts have pointed out that if Elon Musk's proposed merger between SpaceX and Tesla proceeds, SpaceX may need to issue new shares equivalent to 94% of its current outstanding shares to acquire Tesla, increasing the total share count to approximately 8 billion. However, the financial logic of the transaction faces challenges. Tesla's GAAP net profit over the past 12 months has dropped from $15 billion in 2023 to $3.9 billion. After excluding regulatory credit revenue and Bitcoin gains, its core operating profit stands at only about $2.3 billion.Analysts believe that this transaction may essentially be an attempt to use a high-valuation asset to acquire another similarly overvalued company, leaving significant uncertainty regarding its long-term profitability and cash flow performance. The combined company's valuation could reach $3.4 trillion, with SpaceX estimated at $1.75 trillion and Tesla's current market cap around $1.65 trillion. Musk may be leveraging the high valuation from SpaceX's impending IPO to support Tesla, which is under earnings pressure. (Fortune)
