On April 16, publicly listed Bitcoin miner HIVE Digital Technologies announced its plan to privately place $75 million in 0% exchangeable senior notes (due 2031). The funds will be used for GPU procurement, data center expansion, and general corporate purposes. The company has received conditional approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange and expects its shares to transition from the TSX Venture Exchange to the main board (TSX) around April 30. Meanwhile, HIVE continues its transformation towards high-performance computing and AI workloads. In March of this year, due to a tax dispute with the local government in Sweden, the company announced the gradual cessation of ASIC Bitcoin mining activities at its Boden facility and plans to upgrade the facility into a tier-three high-performance computing data center to support GPU clusters.

On April 16, Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), acknowledged his ordinary yet significant role. Whether in traditional industries or the cryptocurrency sector, we have consistently focused on primary investments and secondary trading. Although operating projects and trading platforms can be very profitable, my energy and capabilities are indeed limited, leading to feelings of envy and jealousy. In 2018, I incubated a market-making firm, but the team kept the profits for themselves and left us with the losses, resulting in a painful exit in 2019. Since then, I have not deeply engaged in market making; at most, I have observed good trading teams and made some investments. Conspiracy theories are always popular, but I am not a versatile warrior; I lack the ability and energy to manage projects, and trading platforms are very clear about this.

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, Musk announced that xAI's programming tool Grok Build will release its Beta version next week, available in both app and terminal formats. This marks the first time Grok Build has a confirmed launch date. Grok Build is positioned against Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. Previous breakdowns of the platform's code indicate that the tool can run locally via command line or be operated remotely through a web interface. A distinguishing feature from competitors is the Model Arena mode, where multiple AI agents handle the same programming task simultaneously, allowing users to compare results and choose the optimal solution. In terms of billing, xAI is establishing a points system, where subscription users receive a fixed monthly quota, with additional usage available for purchase, similar to the models of Claude Code and Codex. However, Musk is aware of the gaps. On April 12, he stated on X that Grok's programming capabilities would 'only approach Opus 4.6 by May, and might catch up or even surpass it by June,' noting that 'while this is a short time by normal standards, it is quite long in the AI field.' Opus 4.6 is currently Anthropic's strongest Claude model. The upcoming Beta version is unlikely to be the strongest in programming capability among its peers, but xAI is eager to establish its presence in the AI programming tools market by laying out the product format and commercial infrastructure.

On April 16, according to Fortune, the value of portfolios from top crypto venture capital funds such as Paradigm, Pantera Capital, and a16z has decreased due to a market downturn and dividends paid to investors.

On April 16, on-chain analyst Murphy indicated that the cost for short-term holders (1-3m_RP) holding for 1-3 months is approximately $75,400, which is near the current price. In this downtrend, BTC has rebounded close to this resistance level for the second time. The last rebound near this position occurred between January 13 and January 19, where a slight breakthrough led to selling pressure and continued pullback. Based on historical data, the analyst believes that the likelihood of another pullback is high, as in the past three cycles, there has never been a successful reversal on just the second challenge of a resistance level. Additionally, there is a potential scenario where BTC could break through but encounter greater resistance above, specifically at the average cost line for short-term holders (STH-RP). Currently, around 2.31 million BTC are located at approximately $81,000, and if BTC faces resistance here after an upward movement, the market will need time to digest the selling pressure and begin to cautiously choose a direction.
