PANews Editor's Note: David George, a partner

at a16z, recently published an article stating that there is no longer a "middle ground" in the software industry. Companies need to choose one of two paths within 12-18 months: achieve revenue growth of over 10% through Al-native products, or increase their true profit margin to 40%-50%. He calls for companies to undergo a complete restructuring, clarify their development direction, and reshape their teams and structures to adapt to the new Al-driven competitive environment;

otherwise, they will face valuation compression and

market pressure.

Below is the full translation:

To CEOs, founders, boards of directors, and investors of software companies: The comfortable middle ground is over.

The public market has already repriced the industry, and for good reason. The market is telling us that the end-user value of software is no longer what it used to be. I don't know what factors will drive the price movements of every stock next quarter, but in the medium to long term, I believe there are only two reliable paths to creating lasting equity value.

Path 1: Achieve year-over-year revenue acceleration of over 10 percentage points within the next 12 to 18 months through truly new Al-native products.

Path 2: Restructure the company to achieve a true operating profit margin of over 40% (ideally 50%), including stock-based compensation (SBC).

Bitcoin Price News: Failed Breakout of $71K Resistance Anticipates Big Drop

Key Points:

Bitcoin retreated with a strong “sell” signal after hitting the $71,000 resistance.

This could put an end to the top crypto’s latest relief rally if negative momentum accelerates.

The next target for BTC if this downtrend continues would be the $62,000 level

Bitcoin (BTC) has by 7% in the past 7 days and could be in for further downside as the price action shows clear signs of a rejection of the $71,000 area.

Trading volumes did not spike in the past 24 hours, as one would expect after such a strong rejection. Meanwhile, long liquidations are relatively low as well, barely exceeding the $100 million mark during this same period.

This is evidence that the price has not yet reached a tipping point where bulls get squeezed out of their long positions.

Interestingly, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) booked positive net inflows yesterday after three consecutive days of outflows. These vehicles brought in a combined total of $167 million yesterday, starting the week on a positive note.

Meanwhile, market sentiment improved after yesterday’s jump in the price of most cryptocurrencies. The Fear and Greed Index jumped to 34 today, almost out of “Fear” territory. However, today’s drop could once again depress investors if BTC fails to recapture the $70,000 area soon.

Blackrock Crypto Portfolio: Holdings, Strategy, And Market Impact

This overview of the BlackRock crypto portfolio details how the firm holds 577.919K BTC valued at $54.02B, using a reference Bitcoin price of $93.476. The scale signals a decisive stance in digital assets. Beyond coin exposure, BlackRock owns 5% of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), or roughly 11.2 million shares, aligning the asset manager with one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries and underscoring long-term conviction in cryptocurrencies.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with approximately $11.6 trillion under management, entered crypto at scale through the iShares Bitcoin Trust exchange-traded fund (Ibit), which simplifies Bitcoin access for traditional investors. The move also reflects practical motivations implied by its product rollout: meeting client demand for regulated exposure, adding a potential diversifier to multi-asset portfolios, modernizing market infrastructure through tokenization, and maintaining market leadership as digital assets become more institutionally integrated. In 2024, BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund drew $37 billion of net inflows, reinforcing the firm’s role in normalizing crypto within institutional portfolios.

Large managers typically pursue crypto exposure to meet client demand within regulated formats, diversify portfolio tools, and experiment with tokenization that can streamline settlement and collateral movement.
