深潮导读:当比特币国库们纷纷清仓自救时,Metaplanet 却把钱砸向了拉斯维加斯 Sphere、日本舞蹈团和高端会议赞助。股东们怒了:与其做营销,为什么不多买一聪比特币?这场争议背后,是整个比特币国库模式在熊市中的生存困境。

高端会议赞助、获奖的日本舞蹈团表演,以及最近在拉斯维加斯 Sphere 的广告亮相。

这些只是日本比特币国库公司 Metaplanet 为挽救其疲软股价而动用的部分营销手段。

自年初以来,Metaplanet 的股价已下跌约 25%,受到同期比特币 11%跌幅的拖累。

对于一家声称要在 2027 年前持有全球 1%比特币供应量的加密国库公司来说,广告至关重要。

该公司通过出售其现有比特币持仓的期权来创造收入。持有的比特币越多,可以出售的期权就越多,收入也就越高。

Metaplanet 通过发行和出售股票来为额外的比特币购买提供资金。去年 12 月,该公司通过混合发行股票和以现有比特币持仓作抵押贷款的方式,购买了约 4.51 亿美元的比特币。

如果公司股价下跌,它就无法购买那么多比特币,从而威胁到其增长。

比特币国库的溃退

Metaplanet 的广告策略出台之际,比特币国库们正面临越来越大的压力。

在采用比特币购买模式的近 200 家公司中,许多公司现在都陷入困境,因为这一顶级加密货币已从 12.6 万美元的历史高点回落,导致数十家企业买家处于水下状态。

今年 2 月,比特币国库公司 GD Culture Group(该公司此后已转向人工智能)批准出售价值 5.03 亿美元的比特币以回购自己的股票。此举将使该公司损失约 3 亿美元。

4 月初,比特币国库 Nakamoto 在股价暴跌 99%威胁其在纳斯达克交易所的地位后,寻求反向股票拆分。

"由于投资者对比特币和山寨币国库公司股票的需求疲软,比特币国库领域正在瓦解,"前高盛分析师、开发者应用 EasyA 联合创始人 Dom Kwok 此前对 DL News 表示。

Metaplanet 是继 Michael Saylor 的 Strategy 和 Jack Mallers 的 Twenty One Capital 之后,全球第三大企业比特币持有者。

然而,该公司也处于水下状态。根据 Bitcointreasuries.net 的数据,其比特币储备账面亏损约 20%。

大手笔支出

但这并没有阻止 Metaplanet 在广告上挥金如土。

该公司 3 月 25 日在东京郊外的 Pia Arena MM 举行的年度股东大会上,与会者获得了装有品牌商品的礼品袋,并观看了名为"Beni No Sho"的现场音乐书法表演。

Metaplanet 将这次活动与其日本比特币未来论坛结合起来,这是一个由该国库公司组织的半天会议,旨在在日本推广比特币。

随后在 4 月 26 日,Metaplanet 的广告出现在拉斯维加斯 Sphere 上,这是一个 58 万平方英尺的巨型外部显示屏,此前曾吸引过谷歌、百事可乐和 F1 拉斯维加斯大奖赛的促销活动。

据报道,这个娱乐场所在 Sphere 上投放一周广告的费用为 65 万美元,单日投放为 45 万美元,不过这些价格可能会根据一年中的时间而变化。

Metaplanet 还是 4 月 27 日在拉斯维加斯举行的 Bitcoin for Corporations 会议的高级赞助商。CEO Simon Gerovich 已确认将在活动上发言。

该公司还是 Bitcoin Asia 2025 的冠名赞助商,这是 8 月在香港举行的全球第二大比特币活动。

“难道不该多买点比特币吗?”

Metaplanet 的高调广告激怒了一些支持者。

就在该公司股东大会前不久,Gerovich 宣布活动将包括获奖的日本舞蹈团 Avantgardey 的表演。

Metaplanet 的支持者在 X 上批评这一举措,认为这是浪费钱,对股东没有好处。

"难道不该把邀请 Avantgardey 的钱用来多买点比特币,哪怕只是一聪?"一位支持者说。

目前尚不清楚 Avantgardey 最终是否在 Metaplanet 的年度股东大会上表演。Metaplanet 网站上的活动日程没有提到这场表演。

Metaplanet 没有立即回应置评请求。

然而,尽管有批评声音,该公司的总广告支出相对于其整体收入来说可能很小。

在 Metaplanet 的 2026 年指引中,该公司表示计划在销售、一般及行政费用上花费约 2900 万美元,其中包括用于营销、广告、薪酬和活动等方面的资金。

2025 年全年,该公司报告收入约为 5800 万美元。

然而,这对 Metaplanet 去年 6.05 亿美元的总亏损几乎没有影响,该亏损是由其比特币持仓价值下降所驱动的。

GPT-5.6 Countdown: Abandon the Illusion of a Single API, Computational Iteration Can't Outpace a Single Page of Compliance

In mid-June, three seemingly independent industry events—the compliance-driven throttling of Fable 5, the open-sourcing of GLM-5.2, and the leaked release timeline for GPT-5.6—are pushing the global AI industry toward a watershed moment. These shifts signal a fundamental restructuring of the industry's underlying logic. First, **"usability" has substantially overtaken "advanced capabilities"** as the primary weight, pushing the global large language model (LLM) supply chain into a "dual-track" phase of controlled closed-source and local open-source coexistence. Second, **the competitive moats of closed-source giants are shifting**. Their technical focus is moving from "language intelligence" toward "spatial intelligence (world models)"—a domain heavily reliant on computing power. Third, faced with常态化 transnational compliance risks, **a "model-agnostic" decoupled design has become a survival necessity for application-layer developers to maintain business continuity.** The article details how Anthropic's Fable 5, despite its advanced engineering feats, was restricted for non-U.S. citizens within 72 hours of launch, highlighting how geopolitical compliance can instantly limit even the most advanced models. In response, the open-source camp, exemplified by Zhipu AI's MIT-licensed GLM-5.2, is gaining market share by offering stable performance improvements and significant cost advantages (up to 70% savings for enterprises), while achieving full adaptation with domestic semiconductor platforms. Meanwhile, closed-source leaders like OpenAI are pivoting. The anticipated GPT-5.6 reportedly shifts focus from language to spatial intelligence and world models, aiming to rebuild a generational gap in areas like 3D understanding, simulation, and industrial design that demand immense compute. The core conclusion is that the LLM supply chain's logic has changed. Enterprises must now evaluate infrastructure based on a composite of technical performance and policy compliance. For developers, complete reliance on a single closed-source API poses unacceptable risk. Implementing a truly model-agnostic architecture—enabling swift switches to compliant, locally deployable open-source alternatives—is no longer just good practice but a fundamental baseline for business continuity.

Is the 'Token Subsidy War' Among AI Giants Almost Over?

The article discusses the ongoing "token subsidy war" among AI giants like OpenAI and Anthropic, questioning whether it's nearing its end. It reveals that current AI subscription prices are heavily subsidized, with some plans offering tokens at up to 70 times the actual cost to attract and retain heavy users, especially developers and enterprises. This strategy mirrors past internet-era subsidy battles, but with a key difference: AI tokens lack "lock-in" effects. Unlike ride-hailing or food delivery apps, users can easily switch between AI providers as APIs become standardized, making it difficult for companies to raise prices post-subsidy. The piece highlights a structural asymmetry in the competition. Giants like Google, with massive advertising revenue, can afford to subsidize tokens indefinitely, akin to using "tokens as a weapon." In contrast, venture-backed companies like OpenAI and Anthropic face pressure to become profitable, especially as they approach IPO. The article cites Google Ventures founder Bill Maris, who suggests Google could slash token prices by 80%, putting immense pressure on competitors. Two potential endgames are presented: the "internet service" model (subsidize, monopolize, then raise prices) and the "utility" model (tokens become a standardized, low-margin commodity like electricity). Given the low switching costs, the latter seems more likely. The competition may not have a single winner but could instead accelerate AI's evolution into a foundational, infrastructure-level technology, akin to a public utility. For now, users continue to benefit from heavily subsidized token costs.

Beyond the Stadium: The Profitable Games Surrounding the World Cup

"Beyond the Pitch: The Profit Game Around the World Cup" The FIFA World Cup transcends being a sporting spectacle, evolving into a massive global arena for speculation and profit-seeking. The 2026 tournament has amplified this dynamic, creating a multi-layered ecosystem of financial opportunism alongside the football. **Prediction markets** have surged into the mainstream. Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi saw trading volumes for World Cup contracts soar, attracting new users with their financial trading model and high-profile, chain-based wealth stories that overshadow traditional sports betting in terms of growth and narrative. However, **traditional sportsbooks** remain the dominant force, leveraging established user habits, legal markets, and comprehensive product offerings to handle the vast majority of speculative wagers, with projections suggesting record-breaking betting volumes. Capital markets also react. **"Concept stocks"** in countries like South Korea and Japan experience volatile price swings based on team performance and anticipated fan spending on items like chicken, beer, and viewing parties, effectively becoming a stock market reflecting fan sentiment. The **ticket resale market** has become a sophisticated arena for arbitrage. Prices fluctuate wildly based on team draws and star power, with sellers sometimes listing tickets they don't yet own in a practice akin to short-selling, while FIFA's own "Right to Buy" tokens add another layer of speculative trading. **Collectibles and merchandise** offer another avenue. Panini sticker albums, with their inherent scarcity and nostalgic value, can become high-value collectibles. Limited-edition or locally themed jerseys command significant premiums on secondary markets, and even counterfeit vendors profit from fans' desire for affordable match-day identity. The **cryptocurrency** space has seen a frenzy of speculative, unauthorized World Cup-themed meme coins on chains like Solana. These tokens, often exploiting team names and player imagery, experience extreme pump-and-dump cycles, creating stories of massive gains for a few early entrants and steep losses for many others. Finally, an entire industry thrives on **providing information and tools** to other speculators. Developers create platforms like SeatSidekick to track ticket inventory and prices, while paid Telegram groups and subscriptions sell betting tips and predictions, monetizing the widespread desire for an informational edge. In essence, the World Cup has become a compressed, global laboratory for speculation. While the games determine champions on the field, a parallel, complex network of financial transactions—spanning prediction contracts, bets, stocks, tickets, collectibles, crypto, and information services—settles its own scores in the global market.

How Does Codex Use a Computer? Three Entry Points and Permission Boundaries

This article explains the three primary methods for Codex to interact with a computer, each with distinct use cases, permission boundaries, and trust levels. **1. Computer Use:** This offers the broadest access, allowing Codex to visually control and interact with the graphical user interface of authorized macOS/Windows apps, system settings, and even iOS simulators. It's ideal for tasks lacking APIs or structured tools, such as operating legacy software or multi-app workflows. However, it's the slowest method and has the widest permission scope, requiring careful supervision for sensitive actions. **2. Chrome Extension:** This grants Codex access to the user's logged-in Chrome browser state, including cookies, profiles, and open tabs. It's best for tasks requiring user identity across websites like Gmail, LinkedIn, Salesforce, or internal dashboards. Its key advantage is multi-tab control for complex workflows. While more powerful for browser-based tasks than Computer Use, it carries higher sensitivity as actions are performed under the user's identity. **3. In-App Browser:** This is a browser isolated within the Codex thread, separate from the user's personal browsing data. It excels in web development and debugging scenarios—previewing local servers, testing responsive layouts, or annotating designs directly on the page. Its isolation is a strength for development but a limitation for tasks requiring login sessions. The core principle is to choose the narrowest, safest, and most structured interface for the task. Use plugins or MCPs first, resort to visual control (Computer Use) only for GUI-dependent tasks, employ the Chrome extension for identity-reliant browser work, and prefer the In-App Browser for isolated development. **Appshots** are clarified as a fourth, complementary tool for *inputting* context—capturing a screenshot of a window to point Codex to something—rather than a method for Codex to *act*. Together, this layered approach highlights a key to AI agent productization: not granting unlimited permissions, but constraining them within clear boundaries for specific tasks while preserving user oversight.
