first_img Bank of New York Mellon increased its stake in Strive by 28%, raising its holdings to 6.97 million USD

According to Bitcoin Magazine, as disclosed in the 13F filing submitted on November 5, Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) increased its holdings in Bitcoin treasury company Strive (ASST) by 28% in the third quarter, bringing the total to 237,100 shares, valued at $6.97 million based on the price as of September 30.Compared to the 185,556 shares disclosed on June 30, this increase of 51,544 shares had a market value of approximately $2.02 million at that time. The increase in market value was mainly due to the stock price: the implied ASST price in the two filings rose from $10.91 on June 30 to $29.41 on September 30, resulting in a more than doubling of the disclosed market value alongside a 28% increase in the number of shares held.The 13F is a snapshot at a point in time rather than a trading record. Bank of New York Mellon submitted a consolidated report covering group-level holdings, so Strive's position may include client, fund, and discretionary accounts, rather than a single proprietary bet, and the bank may have adjusted its holdings after September 30.As of September 30, the bank's assets under custody and administration amounted to $63.4 trillion, with managed assets totaling $2.2 trillion. In the same report, its Bitcoin-related positions also included 1,056,230 shares of Strategy (MSTR), valued at $161.7 million, and 162,072 shares of BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), valued at $7.67 million, the latter nearly doubling from 85,282 shares as of June 30.According to regulations, institutions with investment decision-making authority over securities exceeding $100 million must disclose their holdings within 45 days after the end of the quarter, with this quarter's window extending to November 16 due to November 14 falling on a Saturday.JPMorgan submitted its third-quarter 13F this Thursday, while Wells Fargo, Millennium Management, and Schonfeld Strategic Advisors had not yet appeared in the SEC's EDGAR system as of Thursday morning.Among the disclosed banks, Barclays reported holding 3,942,900 shares of IBIT, valued at $186.7 million, an increase of 48% from 2,658,147 shares three months ago, in a filing on November 6; Citigroup reported holding 521,144 shares of IBIT, valued at $24.7 million, in a filing on November 4, and added 1,636,387 shares of Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), valued at $118.9 million. Strive itself increased its holdings by 29 Bitcoins in the week ending November 6, bringing its total holdings to 43,153 Bitcoins.

Tether Gold completed an audit by the Big Four accounting firms, with reserve gold valued at 2.246 billion USD

Tether announced that KPMG U.S. has completed an independent audit of the financial statements of TG Commodities, the issuer of Tether Gold (XAU₮), as of December 31, 2025, and issued an unqualified opinion. The audit shows that XAU₮ is fully backed by physical gold. This is the second stablecoin under Tether to complete an audit by one of the Big Four accounting firms, following Tether International, the issuer of USDT, in August of this year.During the audit, KPMG conducted a physical count and verification of each gold bar backing XAU₮, rather than relying solely on confirmations from custodians. As of December 31, 2025, TG Commodities holds 520,089.350 ounces of pure gold, valued at $2.246 billion, corresponding to the issued 520,089.300 XAU₮.The gold is stored in Swiss vaults and meets the London Good Delivery standards, with ownership belonging to the token holders, where each token corresponds to an indivisible ownership of specific gold bars. The company also hires an independent third party to conduct quarterly sampling tests of the gold bars.CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that XAU₮ is expected to become the first true competitor in the gold ETF market, as gold can be settled instantly, with lower custody costs and higher transparency. CFO Simon McWilliams mentioned that auditing the largest and most complex USDT and XAU₮ is paving the way for a comprehensive audit of the entire company.

Nebius's 2027 capital expenditure guidance is as high as 45 billion USD, with a pre-market decline of over 9%

AI cloud computing company Nebius announced its third-quarter financial report, with revenue increasing by 571% year-on-year to $981 million, exceeding market expectations by about 8%; adjusted EBITDA reached $466 million, also higher than the expected $357 million. However, the company expects its full-year revenue for 2026 to fall at the lower end of the guidance range of $3 billion to $3.4 billion, below the market expectation of about $3.37 billion.What draws more market attention is that Nebius expects capital expenditures in 2027 to reach $40 billion to $45 billion, while providing a revenue outlook of $12 billion to $13 billion, approximately four times that of 2026. The company stated that customer prepayments and investment-grade contract asset-backed financing are expected to cover 75% to 85% of next year's capital expenditures, with the scale of prepayments expected to increase from about $10 billion this year to $17 billion to $20 billion.The company's CEO stated that since the third quarter, the total value of newly signed contracts has exceeded $12 billion, with Databricks, Datadog, Palantir, and Snowflake all signing multi-year agreements with the company for the first time. Despite significantly exceeding expectations, the full-year revenue guidance fell short of expectations, and the capital expenditure plan of up to $45 billion next year has raised market concerns about AI infrastructure expansion and financing pressures.

first_img BitGo will include USDC in its institutional stablecoin minting and redemption services

According to The Block, digital asset infrastructure company BitGo announced that it has added minting and redemption features for USDC in its Go Account. This service is open to qualified clients of its subsidiary BitGo Bank & Trust, which is a digital asset trust bank regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Clients can initiate and monitor USDC orders on the BitGo platform or via API, and BitGo will process them through its Circle Mint account, charging a fixed fee disclosed before the client confirms the transaction.The service supports USDC on Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, HyperEVM, Monad, and Aptos, with specific availability depending on jurisdiction and account requirements. Eligible orders can be processed on-chain 24/7, but fiat deposits and withdrawals must still adhere to banking processing windows and settlement times.BitGo launched the Mint service for the first time in April this year, initially supporting USD1 from World Liberty Financial and SoFiUSD from SoFi Bank, allowing institutions to access related assets without establishing separate relationships with each issuer.BitGo CEO and co-founder Mike Belshe stated that the more assets institutions use, the greater the workload for managing independent accounts and relationships with issuers. The company is enabling clients to access more assets through a single BitGo account based on the infrastructure they have already used.Just a week prior, BitGo launched BitGo Global Markets, led by former NYDIG executive Pete Janney, offering institutional trading and financial services such as crypto collateral financing, options, and swaps; this business stems from the acquisition of NYDIG's institutional trading business on August 27, with about 30 employees joining as a result.
