Resumen

In a significant move, cryptocurrency intelligence firm Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) invested $1 billion in a single week to acquire 13,927 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 780,897 BTC. This accounted for the vast majority of the $1.06 billion in net Bitcoin purchases by public companies last week. Other notable corporate developments include Bitmine, an Ethereum treasury company, which added 71,524 ETH to its holdings and announced a massive expansion of its stock buyback program from $1 billion to $4 billion. However, the proposed $1.6 billion SPAC merger for The Ether Machine was terminated due to unfavorable market conditions. In the altcoin sector, Eightco Holdings disclosed it holds nearly 9% of the circulating supply of Worldcoin (WLD) and that its investment in OpenAI constitutes 30% of its total assets. Additionally, Brag House shareholders approved a merger with the Dogecoin Foundation's official entity. The article also covers broader market trends, noting that Bitcoin miners are under profit pressure ahead of the 2028 halving and are shifting towards diversified "infrastructure" business models. Investment firm BlackRock reinstated its overweight stance on U.S. stocks, believing the economic impact of the Iran conflict is manageable.

Editor's Note: After a week, the multiple "crypto concept leading stocks" we previously mentioned have seen varying degrees of increases, with Circle's rise being particularly notable, once again surpassing $100. In the long term, its target price is still seen around $130-$150. Additionally, affected by the energy war, mining companies are seizing the opportunity to accelerate their transformation, resulting in relatively smaller stock price fluctuations and a more noticeable sector increase. Furthermore, related to the AI concept are the "OpenAI investment concept stocks," including WLD treasury company Eightco Holdings Inc. Among the altcoin treasury companies, following the previously strong performance of TRON, TON, BERA, and DOGE-related listed companies have recently remained active.

The following is a summary of last week's crypto stock market information compiled by Odaily Planet Daily. All U.S. stock data comes from msx.com.

Iran War May See a Turning Point, Miner Profits Under Pressure Accelerating Transformation, Institutions Bullish on U.S. Stocks

Bitcoin Miners Prepare for the 2028 Halving: Profits Under Pressure, Energy Tightens, Industry Shifts Towards "Infrastructuralization"

As the next Bitcoin halving (expected in 2028) approaches, miners are facing a more challenging operating environment compared to 2024. The block reward will further decrease from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC, while rising energy costs, record-high network hash rates, and tightening capital are continuously squeezing profit margins.

Data shows that mining companies have already entered a phase of "deleveraging" and cash flow optimization: MARA Holdings sold over 15,000 BTC in March, Riot Platforms sold over 3,700 BTC in Q1, Cango sold 2,000 BTC to repay debt, and Bitdeer reduced its BTC holdings to zero in February.

Industry insiders point out that miners are shifting from "pure hash rate competition" to "competition in capital and energy management capabilities." GoMining CEO Mark Zalan stated, "Capital discipline is more important than hash rate expansion"; Cango also mentioned that future operators with scale and diversified energy layouts will have a survival advantage. Meanwhile, the business models of mining companies are being restructured, moving from单一block reward income to a "power + computing power infrastructure" model, including participating in grid peak shaving, waste heat utilization, and承接AI computing power demand for diversified revenue sources.

BlackRock Resumes Overweight View on U.S. Stocks, Believes Iran War Impact is Manageable

BlackRock strategists have resumed their overweight view on U.S. stocks, believing the impact of the Middle East conflict on global economic growth "is likely to be contained." After downgrading risk and adopting a neutral stance weeks ago due to the escalation of the Middle East conflict, the strategist team led by BlackRock Investment Institute head Jean Boivin stated in a report on local time Monday that they had been monitoring "two signals to increase risk exposure," including the resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and signs that the war's economic impact is limited. They stated, "We have seen progress on both fronts," and a recent ceasefire is "crucial," with a "high threshold" for a return to war. BlackRock also emphasized the upcoming earnings season. "Even during the conflict, corporate earnings expectations have been rising, partly thanks to the artificial intelligence theme." Regarding U.S. stocks, BlackRock stated, "The manageable impact of the Middle East conflict on global growth, coupled with strong earnings expectations—especially in the tech sector—keeps us risk-on."

Apple's Q3 Results Largely Meet Expectations, Supply and Memory Pressure Drive After-Hours Drop of 6%

Apple's Q3 (FY2026) earnings largely met expectations, but weak guidance and rising costs drove the stock down 6.3% after hours. Revenue of $109.42B slightly beat estimates, and EPS of $2.02 was boosted by a $0.11 tariff refund. Core EPS was $1.91, aligning with forecasts. iPhone and Mac sales were strong, but iPad and Services revenue fell short. Greater China growth slowed. The outlook for the next quarter is concerning. Apple guided for 9-11% revenue growth, below the ~12% consensus, citing significant supply constraints for iPhones, Macs, and iPads due to advanced chip shortages. Gross margin guidance of 47-48% includes a 1-point tariff benefit, implying a core margin of 46-47%, down from 48.1% this quarter. Management highlighted rising memory costs as a major pressure point. While Apple's AI initiatives like Siri are progressing, monetization remains early. With the stock near all-time highs, the combination of in-line results, segment weaknesses, and a cautious outlook triggered significant profit-taking. The focus has shifted from resilient demand to supply chain execution and cost management.

Platform Token Soars 15x in Half a Month, Pons Tops Robinhood Chain Charts for Both Token Launches and Trading

In just half a month, the Pons platform token (PONS) surged over 15x in value as Pons solidified its position as the leading token launch and trading platform on Robinhood Chain, capturing both the highest daily token creation volume and transaction volume. Following the exit of previous leader NOXA, competition initially favored Flap before Pons emerged dominant around mid-July. By July 26th, Pons accounted for 77.1% of total trading volume across all Robinhood Chain launchpads. Pons's success is attributed to its streamlined, one-transaction process for deploying a token contract and its corresponding Uniswap V3 liquidity pool simultaneously, eliminating the need for bonding curves or complex migrations. This simplicity, combined with low creation costs and immediate tradability, attracted significant creation activity and speculative trading. The meteoric rise of its native token, PONS, further fueled platform growth. A tokenomics model directing 80% of protocol fees to buy back and burn PONS created a reinforcing cycle: platform usage boosted PONS value, which in turn attracted more users. Looking ahead, Pons V2 aims to expand beyond meme tokens by integrating support for paying fees in stablecoins (USDG) and RWA assets, aligning with Robinhood Chain's broader focus on on-chain finance and stock tokens.

Qualcomm Chip Price Hike Deals a Blow to Android Phones

Qualcomm has officially announced a new round of price increases for its entire chip portfolio, effective September 1. The hikes, reaching up to 18% for the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, follow similar moves by MediaTek, intensifying cost pressures on the already strained smartphone industry. CEO Cristiano Amon confirmed the plan, citing the need to offset rising industry-wide costs and restore declining profit margins. Qualcomm's Q3 FY2026 results showed a 25% drop in net profit, with mobile revenue plunging 20% year-over-year, hitting its lowest level since 2021. The surge in AI computing demand has led memory manufacturers to prioritize HBM production, creating a shortage in general-purpose DRAM and NAND Flash chips. Their prices soared by 93%-98% and 55%-60% respectively in Q1 2026, causing the memory cost share in smartphones to jump from 10%-15% to over 30%. Coupled with the soaring cost of advanced nodes like TSMC's 2nm and packaging, overall chip costs have reached historic highs. These upstream pressures are forcing downstream smartphone brands like Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo to cut orders for mid-to-low-end models by up to 20% and use cost-saving measures like older chipsets. Reportedly, the Snapdragon 8E5 will be repurposed as a "long-lasting" chip for sub-brand phones in H2 2026. Amid this cost crisis, the Android market remains sluggish. Q2 2026 smartphone shipments in China fell 4.3% year-over-year, marking five consecutive quarters of decline. Major Android brands saw market share drop, while Huawei and Apple, with their in-house chip advantages, gained share. Qualcomm is diversifying into automotive and IoT sectors to reduce reliance on smartphones, but these new segments cannot yet fill the mobile revenue gap. Industry observers warn that the full impact of component cost hikes will hit in the second half of 2026, likely leading to higher-than-expected price increases for Android flagships and a further contraction in the Chinese smartphone market.

Breaking: GPT-5.6 Prices Slashed Effective Today

OpenAI has announced significant price cuts for its GPT-5.6 model API, effective immediately. The entry-level **GPT-5.6 Luna** sees the most drastic reduction, with input prices dropping 80% to $0.20 per million tokens and output prices falling to $1.20 per million tokens. The mid-tier **GPT-5.6 Terra** is reduced by 20%, now costing $2.00 (input) and $12.00 (output) per million tokens. The flagship **GPT-5.6 Sol** maintains its original price but introduces a new **Fast mode**, offering speeds up to 2.5 times faster for double the cost. The company attributes these price reductions to efficiency gains achieved through **GPT-5.6 Sol's own involvement in optimizing its production systems**. The model assisted in rewriting GPU kernels and improving speculative decoding, leading to a 20% reduction in end-to-end service costs and over 15% improvement in token generation efficiency. OpenAI emphasizes this process remained human-led. A key focus of the降价 is to lower the barrier for running **AI agent workflows**. By making the capable, tool-calling Luna model significantly cheaper, OpenAI aims to enable more frequent use in cost-sensitive, high-volume tasks like code review and monitoring. This creates a potential feedback loop: model-assisted efficiency gains lead to lower costs, which enables broader agent deployment, which in turn drives further optimization. The new pricing and features will also apply to Codex and ChatGPT Work subscriptions. The changes intensify competition in the large language model market, with OpenAI directly challenging rivals like Anthropic to respond.

South Koreans' 'Gambling Nature' is Actually Forced by Life

This article explores how systemic pressures in South Korea, rather than inherent "gambling" tendencies, drive widespread speculative financial behavior. It begins by noting the high frequency of flights from South Korea to Macau, symbolizing the search for outlets beyond domestic restrictions. The core argument is that ordinary life goals—stable employment, home ownership, and financial security—have become increasingly tied to asset markets due to structural economic factors. South Korea's development model, historically reliant on corporate leverage (chaebols), has evolved into a society where household debt and personal leverage are normalized as pathways to social mobility. Key mechanisms discussed include: * **Housing Policy:** Government measures to improve affordability, like extending mortgage terms to 50 years and the unique *jeonse* (key money) rental system, embed high leverage into the housing market. * **Financial Products:** The recent approval and explosive popularity of single-stock 2x leveraged ETFs (e.g., on Samsung and SK Hynix), easily accessed via mobile apps, lowered barriers to high-risk trading. * **Social Pressure:** Media narratives around soaring corporate profits (e.g., SK Hynix) and employee bonuses create a fear of missing out, pushing individuals to use leverage to "catch up." The article concludes that this "leveraged life" is a product of institutional history and policy choices. When traditional paths to success feel constrained, and policy facilitates debt-based solutions for housing and investment, speculative behavior becomes a rational, if risky, strategy for many. The rapid cycle of regulatory approval for leveraged ETFs followed by a market crash and official apology in mid-2026 exemplifies the system's inherent contradictions. Ultimately, the "bet" is not just on assets, but on using future earnings to secure a place in the present society.
