Regarding the digital credit capital framework announced by Strategy, the Ethereum treasury company BitMine (NYSE: BMNR) commented that this framework consolidates the structural relationship between capital markets and Bitcoin, which should enhance investor confidence in the Strategy approach.BitMine believes that investor concerns typically only arise during Bitcoin downturns; if the Bitcoin price were at $100,000, few would question the strategy. Therefore, Strategy needs to prove that it has enough capital to withstand downturn cycles; raising the capital buffer to over 26 months is a wise move. According to its calculations, since 2009, with a rolling period of 36 months, the probability of negative returns for Bitcoin is less than 0.8%, and a reserve size of 26 months is sufficient for Strategy to safely navigate such fluctuations.

According to the 8-K document submitted to the SEC by Strategy, the company announced the launch of a digital credit capital framework, which includes five core components: dollar reserve policy, adjustment of STRC dividend policy, preferred stock repurchase plan, common stock repurchase plan, and BTC monetization plan.Under the dollar reserve policy, the reserve can only be used to pay preferred stock dividends and debt interest, and management must maintain a reserve sufficient to cover expected dividends and interest expenses for at least the next 12 months. As of June 28, the dollar reserve balance was $2.55 billion.Regarding the STRC dividend, the company will dynamically assess the dividend rate on a monthly basis, considering factors such as trading price, market yield, credit spread, and Bitcoin price volatility, and will not increase the dividend solely because the STRC trading price is below par value. The company also announced an increase in the annualized dividend rate for STRC to 12% from the previous level, effective July 1.In terms of the repurchase plan, the company has established two repurchase authorizations of $1 billion each, to repurchase preferred stocks such as STRC, STRF, STRD, STRK, and Class A common stock, with STRC being the primary target of the preferred stock repurchase plan. Neither of the repurchase plans will utilize dollar reserve funds.In addition, the company's board of directors has authorized the BTC monetization plan, allowing the company to raise up to $1.25 billion by selling Bitcoin, to supplement the dollar reserve, pay preferred stock dividends and interest expenses, or fund the aforementioned repurchase plans.

According to the Financial Times, Apple is lobbying the Trump administration for approval to purchase memory chips from Chinese chipmaker Changxin Storage. Due to multiple factors leading to a rise in memory prices, Apple unusually raised the prices of MacBook and iPad on Thursday, resulting in a market value loss of $263 billion. Apple hopes to alleviate the financial pressure from suppliers by including Changxin Storage in its list of memory suppliers.Changxin Storage and Yangtze Memory Technologies have currently been placed on the U.S. Department of Defense's blacklist of Chinese military companies (the 1260H list). The U.S. Department of Commerce had planned to add Changxin Storage to the entity list last year, but the White House postponed the plan due to ongoing trade negotiations with China at that time.

According to CoinDesk, the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) has released a discussion paper exploring how decentralized finance (DeFi) can be incorporated into the EU MiCA framework. The MFSA pointed out that while MiCA exempts "fully decentralized" crypto services, many DeFi projects still retain centralized features such as admin keys, governance centralization, and protocol upgrade permissions.The regulatory body is seeking public opinion on whether decentralization should be viewed as a "spectrum" rather than a binary concept, and discussing whether to establish a standardized framework to determine if protocols fall outside the scope of MiCA regulation. Additionally, the document proposes potential legal structures such as DAOs and segregated cell companies, and examines automated compliance mechanisms like custodial agents. The public consultation on this discussion paper is open until July 10.
