AMC CEO Adam Aron issued a post responding to Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, stating that his concerns over Robinhood’s stock tokens are “almost a matter of corporate survival.” He emphasized that U.S. securities laws are designed to protect investors, noting that AMC allocates substantial annual resources to maintain regulatory compliance. He questioned how Robinhood, as a U.S.-based company, can establish operations in Jersey—far outside U.S. jurisdiction—and market securities that essentially “masquerade as AMC” while evading U.S. securities regulations. Aron argued that the “fictional synthetic equity market” engineered by Robinhood severs stock token ownership from a company’s control over its own financing capabilities; these tokens do not constitute genuine equity and strip investors of core shareholder rights, including voting privileges. He called on Robinhood to voluntarily cease trading AMC stock tokens, warning that failure to do so would prompt AMC to pursue legal action to enforce a halt, and confirmed he would escalate the issue to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

According to Chaohiang Research, JPMorgan's September 2 investor meeting minutes for NVIDIA indicate that NVIDIA is "comfortable" with its guidance for 70% year-over-year growth in FY28, and this guidance is supply-constrained rather than demand-constrained; with sufficient supply, the business could grow more than double. Inference has become the largest and expanding segment of the data center business. Eighteen months ago, inference and training each accounted for roughly half, but currently inference exceeds training and will continue to rise. Advanced wafers and memory are the two major supply bottlenecks, and NVIDIA maintains close cooperation with TSMC and the three major memory suppliers. The customer base continues to broaden, with OpenAI and Anthropic currently accounting for approximately 20% of end-user demand, which may approach 25% by FY28; new cloud providers now account for over 50% of AI computing infrastructure. Open-source and closed-source models will coexist, and gross margins for model developers are improving. NVIDIA supports long-term demand through revenue sharing, the PORTS-Pike campus, and a $500 billion private capital financing platform. Morgan Stanley maintains an Overweight rating with a price target of $320, based on approximately 20x the expected CY2026 EPS of $15.87.
According to Bloomberg reports, sources familiar with the matter said that AI company Anthropic PBC is finalizing an expansion of its revolving credit facility to $15 billion. The financing arrangement is led by Morgan Stanley, with Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup also playing key roles.

According to Odaily, the yen has continued to strengthen recently, pushing the U.S. dollar index (DXY) lower and providing short-term support for dollar-denominated assets such as Bitcoin and gold. Data shows that the U.S. dollar against the yen (USD/JPY) fell 1.4% intraday to 156.40, after already declining 0.9% on Wednesday; the euro, pound, and Australian dollar all edged higher against the dollar. As a result, the DXY fell 0.4% to 99.22, approaching its 200-day moving average.Analysts believe this trend typically favors dollar-denominated assets like Bitcoin, while also helping to ease global financial conditions and boost market risk appetite. However, if the yen appreciates too rapidly, this logic could quickly reverse.Over the past decade-plus, many investors have used low-cost yen financing to invest in stocks, bonds, and even cryptocurrencies. If the yen appreciates sharply, yen carry trades could unwind, triggering a sell-off in risk assets. When yen carry trades were unwound in August 2024, Bitcoin fell roughly 20% within days.Market expectations are currently growing that the Bank of Japan will raise its policy rate from 1% to 1.25% on September 18, and the yen continues to face further appreciation pressure. Reports also indicate that officials from the U.S. and Japan have previously taken action to address "disorderly yen movements." Therefore, while a moderate yen appreciation is currently favorable for Bitcoin, if it evolves into a rapid, disorderly appreciation, it could instead become a risk factor for BTC. (CoinDesk)

Odaily News, According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Strive purchased 1,800 Bitcoin between August 24 and August 28 at an average price of $79,431 per coin, with the transaction totaling approximately $143 million, including fees and related expenses. This purchase increased its Bitcoin holdings from 21,356 to 23,156 BTC, valued at approximately $1.8 billion, surpassing digital asset exchange Bullish to become the fifth-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, trailing only Strategy, Twenty One Capital, Metaplanet, and MARA Holdings. Strive accumulated nearly 3,000 Bitcoin over a 15-day period, including 1,110 BTC purchased between August 17 and August 21 for approximately $81.5 million, and 79 BTC purchased earlier in August for approximately $5 million. Strive CEO Matt Cole confirmed the purchases in a post on X on August 31. The funds for these purchases came primarily from stock sales, rather than debt financing. During this period, the number of ASST common shares increased from approximately 79.9 million to 83.5 million, and the number of SATA preferred shares also rose. The two programs are expected to raise approximately $154.6 million, with roughly $143 million used to purchase Bitcoin. SATA currently offers an annual dividend of 13%, paid on each business day. Strive stated that it has repaid all outstanding debt, currently has no margin requirements, and its Bitcoin is not collateralized. The company purchased nearly 3,000 Bitcoin in August, and ASST shares rose more than 5% on Monday, bringing their monthly gain to nearly 100%. Raising funds through stock issuance to purchase Bitcoin may lead to dilution of existing shareholders' equity, while a decline in Bitcoin's price could also pose risks.
