Strategy's Preferred Stock Financing Structure Stabilizes, Potentially Paving the Way for Resuming Bitcoin Accumulation
Odaily reports: Analysts at StoneX and TD Cowen believe that Strategy's preferred stock financing structure has stabilized and liquidity has improved, creating conditions for the company to resume accumulating Bitcoin and increase its Bitcoin holdings per share. Both institutions maintain a Buy rating, with target prices of $435 and $260, respectively.As of the end of the third quarter, Strategy held $5.07 billion in U.S. dollar assets, including $4.83 billion in cash reserves, sufficient to cover approximately 3.2 to 3.4 years of preferred stock dividends and debt interest. Strategy also spent approximately $2 billion to repurchase STRC preferred shares, helping its price recover to near its $100 par value. However, because funds were prioritized for replenishing cash reserves and supporting preferred stock rather than accumulating Bitcoin, Strategy's Bitcoin holdings per share declined 3.7% during the year.Additionally, holders of STRC, STRF, STRK, and STRD preferred shares have approved daily accrual of dividends: STRC effective November 1, and the other three classes effective January 1 of next year. Management stated that the move is intended to reduce volatility, improve liquidity, and expand demand. TD Cowen believes that broader distribution channels and better liquidity could ultimately enhance Strategy's efficiency in issuing "digital credit" products.
Analysis: Strategy's Move to Daily Dividends May Reduce Volatility and Enhance Bitcoin Financing Capacity
Odaily reports: According to Bitfinex analysis, Strategy shareholders voted on October 28 to approve a proposal for daily dividend payments on STRC preferred stock, with preliminary results showing 99.3% of votes in favor. STRC is expected to shift from semi-monthly dividend payments to daily dividend payments starting November 1, with the first cash dividend payment arriving on November 2; Strategy's other three preferred stocks, STRF, STRK, and STRD, are expected to follow suit in January 2027.Strategy's move aims to reduce price volatility around ex-dividend dates. Company CEO Phong Le stated that previously, when STRC paid dividends monthly, prices fell by an average of about 49 basis points around the ex-dividend date, which dropped to about 36 basis points after switching to semi-monthly payments. The company expects that daily dividend payments will further disperse selling pressure and improve price stability.This model was not pioneered by Strategy. Bitcoin treasury company Strive converted its SATA preferred stock to daily dividend payments in June of this year and launched a subordinated preferred stock, SATS, with a fixed annual dividend rate of 15%. In October, Strive issued 7 million shares of SATS at $90 per share, raising approximately $630 million, and used about $511 million of that to purchase 6,182 BTC.

Japan's Liberal Democratic Party proposes establishing a Prime Minister's Office-led cyber response headquarters to track illicit crypto assets and accelerate migration to post-quantum cryptography.
According to CoinPost, the "Proposal for Fundamental Strengthening of Cybersecurity Countermeasures" compiled by the Japan Liberal Democratic Party National Cybersecurity Strategy Headquarters (Chairperson: Masaaki Hirai) was approved by the Party-Government-Administrative Coordination Council on October 22.

Referencing the migration schedules for high-impact systems in major Western nations around 2030–2031, the proposal sets an earlier deadline for critical government systems.

Three Wall Street Firms Recommend Buying Crypto Stocks on the Dip, Say Binance Hack Unlikely to Derail Market Recovery
Odaily report: Analysts from three Wall Street firms—Cantor Fitzgerald, TD Cowen, and Compass Point—all believe that despite Binance suffering an approximately $6.3 billion hack, there is currently insufficient evidence to suggest the incident will threaten the broader crypto market, and the market's prior recovery trend is unlikely to be interrupted as a result.Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Ramsey El-Assal noted that Tether has frozen over $1.5 billion in stolen assets, Circle has frozen approximately $800 million, and Ripple has frozen about $200 million, with Binance stating that the total frozen stolen funds currently amount to roughly $3 billion. He believes the crypto industry is gradually improving its ability to respond to such security incidents and expects crypto-related stocks such as Coinbase, Robinhood, and Strategy to rebound once market panic subsides, recommending that investors buy on the dip.TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza believes the attack exposed security weaknesses in Binance's own transaction signing infrastructure rather than flaws in the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and that the market sell-off may present an opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin and shares of listed companies holding Bitcoin.Compass Point analysts believe Binance has sufficient liquidity to cover the funding gap, and expect its excess USDT reserves, BTC reserves, and USDC funds to be adequate to absorb the losses. However, the firm also warned that Binance compensating customers could put pressure on stablecoin supply and may drive users to migrate from centralized exchanges to competing platforms such as Coinbase, Bullish, and Hyperliquid.

Trader Killa: Bitcoin Has Successfully Withstood Multiple Bearish Factors, Market Resilience May Signal Bull Market Characteristics
Trader Killa posted that despite the market facing multiple bearish factors—including the Fed's hawkish decision, rising oil prices, hotter-than-expected CPI data, surging global bond yields, a stronger dollar, the Ledger wallet hack, and market concerns over Strategy (MSTR)'s delisting risk and its pivot to AI—Bitcoin has still maintained range-bound trading. Given the current macroeconomic pressures and negative news, Bitcoin should have fallen below $70,000, but its resilience is noteworthy. The market may be gradually forming a significant interim bottom, and its ability to hold the price range amid bearish shocks indicates that it is absorbing negative news, which is also a typical characteristic of a bull market.

Supply shock is forming: Michael Saylor says Bitcoin treasury companies are buying 1.6x the BTC miners produce
Odaily reports: Bitcoin Treasuries posted on X platform that Strategy's Michael Saylor stated that Bitcoin treasury companies are purchasing 1.6 times the amount of BTC produced by miners, creating a supply shock. As the treasury industry develops, BTC demand increases and drives prices higher, while improving the credit and equity conditions of the companies involved, enabling them to raise more capital and buy more BTC. Saylor said that the companies are not competing with each other but rather cooperating in a virtuous cycle.
