Odaily News: The UK House of Lords passed an amendment by a vote of 194 to 138, requiring the Treasury to formulate, publish, and consult on a national digital asset strategy within 12 months after the Financial Services and Markets Act takes effect.The strategy must cover crypto assets, qualifying stablecoins, central bank digital currencies, tokenized securities, and other digital financial assets, and review the availability of banking, payment, and settlement services, as well as the risks to competition and innovation posed by the withdrawal of related services.The bill still needs to undergo a third reading in the House of Lords on September 15, and will then be submitted to the House of Commons for consideration. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) completed the formulation of rules and guidance for the new crypto asset regulatory regime on June 30. The authorization application channel is planned to open on September 30, 2026, and the regime will take effect on October 25, 2027. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News: Amid pressure from AI giants calling for a slowdown, sticky inflation, and the looming threat of rate hikes, US stocks plunged across the board on Monday, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plummeting nearly 6%. Yet JPMorgan reaffirmed its bullish stance against the tide, warning that blind pessimism can easily lead to missing out on gains.Mislav Matejka, JPMorgan's Head of Global and European Equity Strategy, also once again issued a warning to aggressively bearish investors: while surging oil prices do suppress valuations, blindly betting against US stocks is extremely dangerous before the overall earnings expansion of American companies has been disproven. Once US President Trump subsequently attempts to cool tensions in the Middle East through diplomacy, or if third-quarter earnings exceed expectations, the forces of excessive shorting may face a fierce backlash from returning capital.On this basis, JPMorgan as early as August had already raised its year-end target for the S&P 500 Index from 7,800 points to 8,000 points against the tide, and expects earnings per share of its constituent stocks to surge 29% year-over-year to $350.

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.

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.

Odaily News Cryptoquant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju stated that the peak of Bitcoin's current bull market cycle may be driven by institutional capital outside the United States and ETF demand. He pointed out that deeper stablecoin liquidity and tokenized asset infrastructure will expand global market participation.Ki Young Ju cited South Korea as an example, noting that the country currently has no spot Bitcoin ETFs, retail investors cannot purchase overseas-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs, and most companies are unable to open trading accounts to buy BTC. South Korea has gradually opened up corporate participation in phases, with the Financial Services Commission (FSC) roadmap covering approximately 3,500 listed companies and qualified professional investors, but financial institutions and other businesses remain excluded.Strategy's Bitcoin bank adoption index evaluated 25 major institutions covering trading, custody, digital asset products, financing, and corporate participation, with an overall adoption rate of 32%. As of August 29, RWA.xyz data shows that the distributed asset value of global tokenized assets is $38.63 billion, up 2.65% from 30 days ago.The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) stated that stablecoins have the potential to enable faster, programmable payments, but current designs may pose financial integrity, liquidity, and monetary risks. Ki Young Ju pointed out that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded cumulative net inflows of approximately $57 billion in the first two years since launch, and the next phase will be global institutionalization, with more institutions adopting BTC as a strategic asset, and countries lacking ETFs will also improve relevant investment channels.

Odaily News: Bitcoin treasury company Strategy's Bitcoin holdings are currently valued at $66.7 billion, with annual obligations such as preferred stock dividends and interest amounting to approximately $1.76 billion. According to Regime Intelligence analysis, the company's 840,447 BTC holdings correspond to roughly $22 billion in debt and priority claims, and continued access to capital market financing serves as the foundation for meeting its obligations.Stress tests show that Bitcoin prices would need to fall by approximately 96% before Strategy's Bitcoin holdings and reserves would be insufficient to cover its convertible bonds; its debt is not a traditional Bitcoin-collateralized margin loan, and there is no BTC margin call mechanism triggered by price declines.Report author Sherif Saad stated that Strategy needs to maintain its financing cycle to cover annual debt and preferred stock expenses, with cash reserves currently covering approximately 2.6 times the related annual expenses. If the financing environment deteriorates, the company may rely more heavily on reserves and Bitcoin sales to meet its obligations.Strategy has sold Bitcoin four times since May, with the most recent sale involving 1,690 BTC, using the proceeds to pay preferred stock dividends, repurchase shares, and increase its dollar reserves. CEO Phong Le said earlier this month that the company has purchased approximately 25 times the amount of Bitcoin it has sold this year, and plans to resume purchases later this year. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News Bitcoin reserve company Strategy released its latest investor briefing, disclosing that as of August 9, the company holds 840,447 bitcoins, accounting for approximately 4% of the total Bitcoin supply. The company stated that its core strategy is not just holding Bitcoin, but also building a "Digital Credit" platform through capital markets to enhance Bitcoin holdings per share.As of August 10, Strategy's stock (MSTR) had a market capitalization of approximately $38.368 billion, corresponding to a 1.06x mNAV (market cap/net Bitcoin value per share). The company noted that MSTR is not a Bitcoin ETF; common shareholders do not directly own the Bitcoin held by the company, but rather are residual interest holders positioned after debt and preferred stock.Strategy stated that the goal of its "Digital Credit" strategy is to issue digital credit products equivalent to 10%-20% of its Bitcoin reserve annually, when market conditions permit, with an expected scale of approximately $5.4 billion to $10.8 billion. The company said that if the long-term yield on Bitcoin exceeds financing costs, this model could increase common shareholders' Bitcoin exposure per share.Strategy emphasized that MSTR, as common stock of a Bitcoin reserve company, has the dual nature of amplifying both returns and risks. The main risks listed by the company include Bitcoin price volatility, changes in financing conditions, mNAV compression, dilution from stock issuance, and debt and preferred stock repayment pressures.To date, Strategy remains one of the public companies holding the largest amount of Bitcoin globally. The company stated that it will continue to increase its long-term Bitcoin holdings and per-share Bitcoin exposure through capital market instruments, digital credit issuance, and proactive asset allocation.

According to Odaily, data from MSX.COM shows that Strategy (MSTR)'s stock price has fallen below $94, possibly impacted by news that MSCI is considering removing bitcoin treasury companies from its index system.Analysts believe that if MSCI ultimately decides to exclude bitcoin treasury companies from its indices, it could lead to selling pressure from index funds on related companies and affect their capital market valuation logic.Supporters, however, argue that companies like Strategy have formed a unique balance sheet model by holding bitcoin, integrating digital assets into the traditional financial system, and that these companies still possess long-term investment value. The community is currently calling on MSCI to retain Strategy (MSTR)'s eligibility in the relevant indices.
Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X platform stating that MSCI has proposed new rules targeting "non-operating companies." According to a simulation conducted by MSCI in May 2026, Strategy would be removed from its global investable market index. Strategy, along with Metaplanet and Yellow Cake, are the three companies listed in the simulated removal from the MSCI ACWI IMI. The proposed methodology would screen companies based on their operating assets, expenses and cash flows, non-operating fair value changes, and the extent to which they rely on accumulated assets raised through financing. The final criterion would directly target Strategy's model of accumulating Bitcoin through issuing equity and debt. The rules have not yet been finalized, with the comment period ending on September 30. MSCI is expected to make a decision by October 16, and related adjustments could be implemented during the November 2026 index review.
