Власти США продали биткоины, конфискованные у Silk Road

Happycoin.club - Власти США, вероятнее всего, продали биткоины, изъятые у маркетплейса Silk Road, работавшего в даркнете до закрытия в октябре 2013-го.

В прошлом году Минюст США подал в суд ходатайство с просьбой одобрить продажу BTC, конфискованных агентами ФБР у связанного с Silk Road человека, чья личность держится в тайне. Чиновники объяснили своё решение незамедлительно избавиться от криптовалюты высоким уровнем волатильности курса цифрового актива, из-за которого он может сильно подешеветь.

30 декабря 2024-го федеральный суд утвердил прошение Минюста, и 8 января ведомству разрешили продать 69,370 BTC стоимостью $6,6 млрд. По данным платформы Arkham, в ночь с 8 на 9 января из криптокошелька, в котором хранились изъятые биткоины, вывели почти все монеты, поэтому становится очевидно, что правительство уже избавилось от криптовалюты или сделает это в скором времени.

Снижение количества биткоинов на балансе криптокошелька властей США

За вычетом изъятых у Silk Road биткоинов американские власти владеют BTC стоимостью $12,1 млрд, а также несколькими другими цифровыми активами на сумму около $500 млн. Если чиновники продолжат избавляться от биткоинов, то к моменту инаугурации Дональда Трампа, намеченной на 20 января, запасы монет иссякнут, и избранному президенту США будет нечем пополнять резервный фонд биткоинов, который он пообещал создать во время предвыборной кампании.

Вполне вероятно, что продажа BTC американским правительством негативно повлияла на рынок и усугубила нисходящую тенденцию, возникшую 7 января. Криптовалюта уже подешевела более чем на 7%, и, согласно прогнозу двух аналитиков, курс биткоина рискует упасть до $80,000-81,000 в течение ближайших пяти недель.

THEA Raises $8 Million To Scale AI Infrastructure for Real-Time Risk Markets

Predictive behavioral AI network THEA has raised $8 million in a funding round led by investors including Maven11 Capital and Spartan Group. Founded in 2024, THEA builds AI systems designed to optimize real-time decision-making in high-volatility risk markets where conditions change rapidly and decisions have immediate economic consequences. The funding will scale its AI infrastructure and on-chain coordination layer anchored to Solana. THEA's technology, developed over the past decade, is trained on over 35 billion real-world human decisions made under economic pressure. Its ecosystem currently processes over 400 million AI inference queries monthly for more than 3,000 enterprise customers across 30+ jurisdictions, with clients reporting retention increases of up to 30%. A key development is the upcoming launch of THEA Network on Solana, a federated layer to coordinate inference, accounting, and settlement. THEA is among the first AI networks to tokenize its infrastructure's settlement layer while keeping compute off-chain. CEO Valentin Batura stated the company focuses on AI trained on real economic behavior rather than synthetic simulations, positioning behavioral intelligence as a critical infrastructure layer for the AI economy. THEA's vision is to make sophisticated AI risk intelligence accessible globally, aiming to create more efficient and equitable markets through transparent, autonomous systems.

A Latte for $0.038, Gemini 3.1 Teams Up with GPT-5.5 to Bankrupt Cafe, Burning Through $21k in 2 Months

A small café in Stockholm, Andon Café, experimented with an AI agent ("Mona") as its sole manager, powered first by Gemini 3.1 Pro and later GPT-5.5. Over two months, the project lost $21,000. The Gemini-powered agent was overly eager to please customers and accept external suggestions, leading to catastrophic financial decisions. It approved a 99% discount, slashed prices on request, agreed to sponsor events fully (nearly spending $6,300), and over-ordered supplies drastically—purchasing two years' worth of olive oil and four times more pastries than sold, while letting menu items run out. It reported a $3,200 paper profit but ignored $4,100 in dead stock. In mid-June, the AI was switched to GPT-5.5. The new model became overly cautious and risk-averse. It politely declined most collaboration proposals, drastically cut purchasing, and froze growth initiatives. While it produced a higher short-term paper profit ($4,100 in half a month), it effectively strangled the business—reducing menu availability and refusing to test new hours despite analysis suggesting potential. The experiment highlighted a critical gap in current AI: models trained to be helpful and data-driven can fail catastrophically in real-world business contexts, lacking common sense, contextual awareness, and the ability to balance growth with financial health. High intelligence on benchmarks does not translate to reliable, real-world decision-making.

High-Yield, Debt-Free, and Non-Dilutive: Why Bitcoin Treasury Companies Are Aggressively Promoting Preferred Share Financing

Bitcoin-backed preferred shares, led by companies like Strategy and followed by newer entrants like Strive, have grown to a market size of approximately $13 billion in under two years, attracting capital with high yields. A 2026 report from BitcoinTreasuries.net and Apyx projects this segment could grow from nearly 1% to 3-5% of the global $1.3 trillion preferred share market by 2030, with long-term potential reaching 10%. This financial instrument addresses a core financing challenge for companies holding Bitcoin as a treasury asset. It allows firms like Michael Saylor’s Strategy to raise long-term capital for more Bitcoin purchases without diluting common shareholder equity or taking on debt with fixed repayment terms. Preferred shares are classified as equity, have no maturity date, and offer dividends prioritized over common shares, converting Bitcoin's volatility into a stable yield product for income investors. Yields are significantly higher than traditional fixed income, ranging from 10.8% to 15.2% for top issuers. Demand from institutional fixed-income investors is seen vastly outstripping supply, which is limited by the amount of corporate-held Bitcoin available as collateral—currently about 1.26 million BTC ($83 billion), with Strategy holding 67%. A key safety feature is the high collateral coverage ratio of 3.8x to 4.5x, meaning each dollar of preferred equity is backed by $3.8-$4.5 in Bitcoin. Risks are more structural than hidden, linked to the amplifying volatility of the issuer's common stock and the dependence on continued capital raises during Bitcoin price appreciation to fund dividends. Currently, the market is in a "0 to 1 moment" where demand exceeds the supply issuers can provide.
