Odaily News: Bitcoin fork asset BTCB2 hit an all-time high of $1,799 on September 5. Over the past 4 hours, its price has fluctuated between 750 and 1,000 USDC; the Neoxa USDC market recorded a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $1 million.BTCB2 originated from a chain split that occurred on August 8, 2026, at block height 961,632. The network subsequently changed its proof-of-work algorithm to Blake2 and reduced block size, and it can now be mined using Blake2-compatible ASIC miners.Neoxa Exchange and Nonkyc.io have listed BTCB2, with the former offering BTC, USDC, and USDT trading pairs, and the latter offering a USDT trading pair. Both platforms have limited liquidity, and CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko have not yet listed the asset.Based on a BTCB2 price of $1,000, its fully diluted valuation stands at approximately $20.9 billion. Since UTXOs need to be split from Bitcoin first, transactions may otherwise be vulnerable to replay attacks; the network's hash rate has risen by 30.41% over the past 7 days, reaching approximately 5.1 PH/s.

Odaily报道 The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized over $560,000 in cryptocurrency through court-authorized actions and gained control of domains and servers allegedly used by Hamas to raise funds and recruit supporters. The operations involved three seizures conducted on March 25, June 25, and October 10, 2025.Investigators identified an encrypted chat group that directed supporters to fundraising websites and tracked cryptocurrency addresses that were rotated periodically. The operation also obtained information on thousands of individuals who had contacted Hamas online, attempting to make donations using cryptocurrency or traditional methods.This action expands on the $200,000 cryptocurrency seizure announced in March 2025. At least 17 related addresses have transferred over $1.5 million since October 2024, with funds passing through exchanges, over-the-counter brokers, and accounts linked to locations including Turkey.

According to CoinDesk, the IMF confirmed that all new Bitcoin accumulated by El Salvador since its first review in June 2025 came exclusively from private donations, without utilizing any public funds. El Salvador's official Bitcoin holdings have now reached 7,764.37 BTC. The balance had previously surged by more than 1,000 BTC in November alone, and has since been increasing at a pace of one BTC per day. The IMF did not disclose the identities of the donors or the specific donation amounts. Meanwhile, both parties reached a staff-level agreement on the second and third joint reviews of the $1.4 billion financing program. El Salvador is expected to receive approximately $140 million, pending IMF Executive Board approval for it to take effect.

This disclosure comes as IMF staff have reached an agreement with El Salvador on the latest project review, which could unlock an additional $140 million in financing.
According to Cointelegraph, Strategy has raised $20.9 billion through equity offerings this year to fund its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, making it the fourth-largest U.S. equity issuer of the year.
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.

According to Bloomberg, crypto entrepreneur David Bailey, who played a pivotal role in helping Trump pivot to Bitcoin, has seen the stock of his publicly traded company, Nakamoto Inc., plunge approximately 99% from its peak since the merger announcement in May 2025. Previously, Bailey raised roughly $760 million for the firm to build Bitcoin reserves, and his hedge fund also posted a robust 640% return. This latest downturn reflects the broader collapse of digital asset treasury companies, as the premium investors were previously willing to pay to hold Bitcoin through publicly traded entities has significantly faded. Bailey stated that he maintains irregular contact with the White House and is currently focused on proving that the company retains a viable business foundation despite the crash.

Odaily News, according to reports, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent recently urged Japan to raise interest rates to curb the continued depreciation of the yen. Analysts believe this highlights that traditional monetary policy is susceptible to government and external influences. In contrast, Bitcoin's monetary policy is preset by code, with new coin issuance following a fixed schedule and halving approximately every four years, offering greater predictability. In the short term, Bitcoin still finds it difficult to shake off shocks from traditional financial markets. If Japan's rate hike drives a rapid appreciation of the yen, low-interest yen financing trades accumulated over the long term could be unwound, potentially triggering sell-offs in stocks, bonds, and crypto assets. In August 2024, the Bank of Japan's rate hike strengthened the yen and put pressure on risk assets, including Bitcoin. On the technical front, BTC's 50-day moving average has been rising steadily and is close to crossing above the 200-day moving average, potentially forming a "golden cross." Analysts note that moving averages are lagging indicators, and the historical predictive performance of the golden cross as a standalone indicator has been unstable.

Odaily News, according to Bitcoin News monitoring, OCEAN operator Mummolin Inc. and co-founder Luke Dashjr issued a joint statement on August 29, agreeing to part ways. Luke Dashjr resigned as OCEAN Chairman, Chief Technology Officer, and Director, and Mummolin bought back all of his equity. Neither party disclosed the transaction amount nor Luke Dashjr's previous shareholding ratio. Both parties stated that the split stemmed from differing visions regarding the future direction of Bitcoin mining.The BIP-110 dispute subsequently escalated into a split of the Bitcoin chain. BIP-110, also known as the "Data Carve-out Temp Soft Fork," aims to restrict the use of Bitcoin transactions to store non-financial data, including content related to Ordinals. Before the activation period began, only 51 out of 2,016 blocks supported the proposal, accounting for 2.53%, falling below the 55% threshold required for activation.On August 8, nodes enforcing BIP-110 split from the Bitcoin main chain by rejecting blocks that did not support the proposal. On that day, the minority chain only produced 2 blocks before halting; since then, the chain mined 6 more blocks, bringing the total to 8 blocks. The initial alternative chain blocks were mined by the Roughnecks mining organization using OCEAN infrastructure.On August 10, other Bitcoin developers removed Luke Dashjr from the editor list of the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal repository, citing his involvement in BIP-110 and its editorial process. Luke Dashjr disputed this and stated that day that he would temporarily leave OCEAN to focus on Bitcoin and open-source development.Luke Dashjr is currently advancing a new project called CONVOY, using the X account @CONVOY_Mining. This project will continue his push for the decentralization of Bitcoin mining, though its specific structure and launch arrangements have not yet been announced. The X account was created in August 2026 and currently has 0 posts and fewer than 500 followers.OCEAN was founded by Mummolin and co-founded by Luke Dashjr in 2023, and previously secured a $6.2 million seed round led by Jack Dorsey. OCEAN operates under a non-custodial model, with mining rewards paid directly to miners rather than being held and distributed by the pool. OCEAN also developed the DATUM protocol, designed to give individual miners greater control over the transactions included in blocks they participate in mining. OCEAN stated that it will continue operating its transparent non-custodial mining pool and the DATUM protocol after Luke Dashjr's departure. According to Mempool.space data, OCEAN is still mining on the Bitcoin main chain.The change proposed by Luke Dashjr altered the proof-of-work algorithm of the alternative chain to Blake2b, which went live on the new chain at approximately 3:00 AM EST on August 30, making it a hard fork of the Bitcoin main chain. The new chain continued from block 961,639, which was mined before the chain stalled, and reduced mining difficulty fr
