Dell Technologies может раскрыть инвестиции в биткоин

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2020-09-29Last updated on 2024-08-29

Dell Technologies публикует отчет о прибыли за второй квартал в четверг, 29 августа, после закрытия американской сессии. Однако в криптосообществе интересуются отнюдь не заработками ИТ-гиганта.

Пока Уолл-стрит ждет новостей о том сколько рынке ИИ-серверов продала компания, на крипторынке ходят слухи, что Dell сделает важное заявление про биткоин (BTC).

Dell и биткоин: чего ждать

Биткоин-энтузиаст Даниэль Семпере Пико заподозрил, что Dell в ближайшем отчете раскроет инвестиции в BTC. Об этом он написал на платформе X (ранее «Твиттер»), разместив скриншот поста генерального директора Dell Technologies Майкла Делла, опубликованного в июне 2024 года, где Куки Монстр шутливо «съедает» биткоин.

Этот пост вместе с другим заявлением Делла о ценности дефицита, подогрел слухи о том, что компания могла вложиться в криптовалюту.

Если Dell Technologies действительно покупала биткоин с апреля по июнь 2024 года, ей придется раскрыть эту информацию во время телефонной конференции, посвященной отчету по прибылям.

Один из пользователей социальных сетей, известный как Bitcoin Therapist, прокомментировал:

«Бычий рынок биткоина будет безумным. Если у Dell на балансе окажутся биткоины, никто не знает, что может произойти».

Подозрения усилились, когда в июле Майкл Делл опубликовал видео, где генеральный директор BlackRock Ларри Финк обсуждает биткоин.

Начало отношений Dell с биткоином датируется 2014 годом, когда компания впервые начала принимать его в качестве оплаты. Однако в 2017 году Dell отказалась от этой практики из-за низкого спроса и высоких комиссий за транзакции.

Какие еще компании покупают биткоин

Многие другие компании также держат биткоин на балансах. На этой неделе Semler Scientific объявила о покупке дополнительных BTC, доведя их количество до 1 012 на общую сумму около $68 млн.

Эрик Семлер, председатель Semler Scientific, отметил возрастающее институциональное принятие биткоина.

«Мы воодушевлены растущим признанием биткоина среди институциональных инвесторов. Недавно стало известно, что институты владеют более чем 20% активов в биткоин ETF. Мы уверены, что дальнейшая институционализация приведет к росту цен на биткоин и увеличению прибыли для наших акционеров», — сказал Семлер.

Кроме того, такие крупные игроки, как Goldman Sachs и DRW Capital, сделали значительные инвестиции в криптовалюты. Общий объём их вложений в ETF на биткоин и Ethereum превысил $600 млн. Эти данные, представленные в последних отчетах по форме 13F для SEC, подчеркивают растущий интерес к цифровым активам среди традиционных инвесторов.

After semiconductors lead the gains, are funds buying into AI orders or a macroeconomic rebound?

After US-Iran talks led to a temporary ceasefire and framework for reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz, U.S. stocks rose on June 18, with the Nasdaq gaining 1.9%. The semiconductor and AI hardware sectors outperformed. This rally stemmed primarily from reduced geopolitical risk, which lowered oil prices and inflation expectations, easing discount rate pressure on high-valuation growth stocks like tech. The key question is not whether tech rebounded, but the nature of the rebound. The market appears to be selectively repricing AI infrastructure plays rather than broadly chasing AI narratives. Gains were concentrated in chips, optical interconnects, memory, and domestic manufacturing—segments tied to tangible data center build-outs and capital expenditure. Intel's ~10% surge, fueled by a Trump statement about potential Apple collaboration, exemplifies this mixed dynamic. It reflects policy catalysts and domestic manufacturing sentiment more than confirmed fundamentals. Meanwhile, strong earnings from companies like Astera Labs (revenue up 93% YoY) provided concrete evidence of AI-driven demand in hardware. In essence, the rally represents a risk-premium recalibration. Lower Middle East tensions opened a valuation repair window, and capital flowed first into AI infrastructure segments with visible near-term revenue streams. The sustainability of this move hinges on upcoming Q2 earnings, specifically continued strength in cloud provider capex, AI server orders, and hardware company guidance. Policy hopes alone are insufficient; the cycle needs validation from orders and financials.

Kraken Adds Solana On-Chain Token Trading Directly Inside Its App

Kraken has integrated on-chain Solana token trading directly into its main app, eliminating the need for users to use a separate wallet or manage seed phrases. Eligible customers in the U.S. and over 100 countries can now trade approximately 2,500 verified Solana-based tokens within the familiar Kraken interface. This move aims to simplify decentralized trading by using embedded wallet technology from Privy and Solana DEX protocols to handle transactions in the background, while displaying on-chain holdings alongside centralized exchange balances. The exchange chose Solana due to its fast-moving token markets and retail trader familiarity, offering access to assets that often appear on-chain before centralized listings. However, Kraken clarifies that these on-chain tokens have not undergone the same review process as centralized listings, meaning market risks remain. This integration reflects a broader trend of major exchanges incorporating DeFi features to retain users who seek early access to new tokens. While not replacing advanced DeFi wallets, Kraken's solution seeks to make on-chain trading more accessible to a mainstream retail audience.

Litecoin ETF’s Slow Start Shows Altcoin Funds Still Face A Demand Test

The Canary Capital spot Litecoin ETF (LTCC) has had a slow start, with reported inflows of around $9.3 million since launch and assets under management at a lower level. This highlights the significant gap in institutional demand compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. While Litecoin has an established history, its more modest narrative around payments and longevity hasn't yet made it a must-own institutional product. The case demonstrates that regulatory approval alone does not guarantee strong investor allocation. For the broader altcoin ETF thesis, future products may see different demand, but Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to remain the primary institutional channels for the foreseeable future.

The Entire Internet Hails Noam's Joining, But OpenAI's Loss Bill Just Got Thicker

While the AI community celebrates Noam Shazeer, co-author of the "Attention Is All You Need" paper, joining OpenAI as Head of Architectural Research, the company's audited financials reveal a starkly different reality. In 2025, OpenAI reported $13.07 billion in revenue but a massive $20.92 billion operating loss. Even excluding a one-time accounting charge, the cash burn is severe, with $3.7 billion consumed in Q1 2026 alone. This high-profile hiring occurs against a backdrop of significant internal research talent drain, with key founders and researchers departing as the company's focus shifts from exploratory research to product iteration. Meanwhile, OpenAI's fundamental business model faces a deep crisis. It paid Microsoft $10.59 billion for compute in 2025, while its vast user base of 9 billion weekly actives includes only 50 million paying customers, making growth a direct driver of escalating costs. The article argues Shazeer's recruitment is less about technical necessity and more about crafting a compelling narrative for OpenAI's upcoming IPO, aiming to justify a rumored $1 trillion valuation to future public market investors. It contrasts OpenAI's strategy with Anthropic's reported path to profitability, which relies on a strong enterprise customer base and cost control, rather than star-powered narratives. Ultimately, the piece concludes that while Shazeer's architectural work may take 1-2 years to materialize, OpenAI's financial clock is ticking much faster, with its massive losses undercutting the celebratory headlines.

To 'Own' or 'Rent' Intelligence? The New Question for AI Startups

The shutdown of Mythos has prompted a fundamental question for AI startups: is your intelligence "rented" or "owned"? While using frontier model APIs allows for rapid prototyping, it cedes control over your core capabilities to external providers, whose decisions on pricing, rules, or even shutdowns can jeopardize your business. The critical issue isn't just cost, but control and ownership. The lesson isn't to abandon frontier models, but to build upon them. "Owning" intelligence means starting with a powerful open-source model and systematically shaping it with your unique assets: your proprietary data, workflows, domain expertise, edge cases, and evaluation standards. Over time, this creates a company-specific asset that reflects your real work. The future of AI isn't a single, dominant model. There will be multiple "frontiers": general-purpose frontier models, company-specific models fine-tuned on proprietary knowledge, specialized vertical models, and routing systems that orchestrate multiple models. The winning companies will be those that transform intelligence into their own unique, controlled asset, ensuring no one can pull the floor from under their product.
