Japanese Government Bond Yields Hit Nearly 30-Year High, Fiscal Expansion Space Under Pressure
Japan's 10-year government bond yield briefly rose to 2.945% this week, marking a nearly 30-year high and approaching the critical 3% level assumed in the Japanese government's budget. Rising yields are increasing pressure on government debt servicing, undermining Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's room to pursue large-scale fiscal expansion and growth investment. The Japanese government has allocated 31 trillion yen for debt servicing in the current fiscal year; if long-term yields remain above 3%, debt financing costs could significantly exceed the budget.
US university SpaceX holdings overview: Harvard University holds a heavy position of $2.2 billion; the University of California holds $1 billion; Washington University in St. Louis holds approximately $2 billion; the University of North Carolina holds app
Odaily News, August 14 close: Shares of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) closed at $140 per share, with a total market capitalization of $1.85 trillion, up 3.7% cumulatively from the offering price, successfully recovering nearly 50% of the post-listing pullback.According to recently disclosed 13F filings, as of the end of Q2 2026, Harvard University's Harvard Management Company (HMC) held total US equity positions of $4.26 billion, of which SpaceX accounted for the lion's share with 12.9351 million shares valued at $2.21 billion, representing a weight of 51.9%.The University of California system disclosed approximately $1 billion in SpaceX holdings; at the University of North Carolina system, SpaceX represents approximately 10% of the endowment fund (Odaily note: public information shows the fund is approximately $15 billion in size), primarily stemming from early joint investments with Founders Fund; Washington University in St. Louis has a holding ratio of 14%-16%, and its $13.4 billion endowment fund has benefited significantly from a direct capital injection in 2018 and indirect follow-on investments; Stanford University also holds substantial positions through top venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital and a16z. Most of these universities entered when SpaceX was valued at only a few hundred million dollars in its early startup phase, fully capturing the valuation leap from the primary market to the secondary market, once again validating the core logic of ultra-long-term capital, exemplified by the Yale model, enhancing returns through venture capital. (Interface News)Previously reported: Harvard University holds a heavy position of $2.2 billion in SpaceX stock.

10x Research: Bitcoin's True Investment Thesis May Lie in Space Infrastructure and Decentralized Computing
10x Research released a report stating that the market generally believes Bitcoin's core value lies in hedging against currency debasement, but this is not its true investment thesis. The report argues that the core constraint facing decentralized currency is not monetary policy, but physical conditions, including energy, heat dissipation, and geographical jurisdictional limitations.The report points out that with the development of space infrastructure, the constraints of heat, electricity, and geographical limitations faced by data centers could be alleviated in orbital environments. The connection between SpaceX, Starlink, and Bitcoin may represent a long-term strategic layout centered around future infrastructure construction.10x Research believes that technologies such as satellites, encryption technology, and artificial intelligence can both promote the decentralization of power and potentially reinforce resource concentration. The world is competing around two sets of infrastructure systems.The report also compares Bitcoin with China's digital yuan, suggesting they represent different paths for digital infrastructure. It also notes that as populations gradually move away from traditional network systems, the business models of companies like Palantir may also be affected.

HSBC: Starlink Users Surpass 12 Million as Space Race Boosts Earth-Based Industries in Three Ways
According to Trend Research, an HSBC report released on August 18 spanning 12 industries points out that SpaceX's Starlink has crossed the inflection point for scale. As of June 30, it operates 10,200 satellites in orbit and serves 12 million broadband subscribers across 167 markets. Additionally, 7.4 million monthly active devices connect directly to mobile phones via satellite (Direct to Cell), covering 30 countries. Maersk has installed Starlink on more than 330 container ships, while United Airlines plans to upgrade 15 Boeing 737-800 aircraft per month. Starship aims to reduce launch costs to $100–$300 per kilogram, representing a decline of over 95% compared to historical averages. HSBC assesses that the space race is now benefiting terrestrial industries across three dimensions: From a communications standpoint, Starlink and ground-based telecom operators are predominantly complementary, filling coverage gaps in oceanic, desert, and post-disaster environments. Regarding compute infrastructure, orbital data centers currently cost three times as much as ground-based equivalents, acting mainly as strategic reserves; however, if TeraFab’s vertically integrated wafer fabs succeed, they could revolutionize the division of labor in the semiconductor industry. At the energy level, AI data centers have pushed the annual growth rate of U.S. power demand to 4%-5%, making renewable energy and the electrical grid the largest beneficiaries. Among the 12 industries covered, power, semiconductors, and robotics are being directly transformed.
