又是假新闻!这一次是Kamala Harris和“未实现的加密收益”

币界网报道:

数千名加密货币交易员显然被另一篇关于美国总统候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯的假新闻报道所吸引。这一次,他们认为她支持对未实现收益征收新税,这将影响数百万加密货币投资者。

对WallStreetBets或WatcherGuru等新闻片段账户的标题进行误读,愤怒的读者谴责这位美国总统候选人据称希望对未实现的资本收益征税44.6%。

不知何故,他们认为,哈里斯希望迫使加密货币持有者出售大约一半的投资组合,并将收益直接邮寄给美国国税局。

然而,就像前一天关于哈里斯的“新闻”一样,这从未发生过。

虚假的卡玛拉·哈里斯新闻来自一个月前的税收计划

哈里斯昨天没有支持任何新的未实现收益税。相反,作为在社交媒体上参与正在进行的民主党全国代表大会的一种方式,加密货币评论者重播了有关民主党政策文件的旧材料。

大多数评论者只是脱口而出,“卡玛拉·哈里斯支持对未实现的资本收益征税。”在他们的错误观点中,这将对持有以任何较低价格收购的单个比特币的人征税。

实际情况是,一个多月前制定的一份民主党纲领文件包括一项拟议的25%的“亿万富翁税”,如果颁布,该税可能适用于拥有价值超过1亿美元资产的富裕税务申报人的收入和未实现资本收益。

这就是所谓的新闻——一项为期一个月的税收计划,如果获得批准,可能适用于不到0.004%的美国人口。(目前美国居民不到12000千万分之一。)

Strategy Launches 'Digital Credit Capital Framework': Authorizes Sale of $12 Billion in Bitcoin, Ending the 'Never Sell' Script

Strategic, the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin (formerly MicroStrategy), has dramatically shifted its long-standing “never sell Bitcoin” strategy by announcing a new “Digital Credit Capital Framework” on June 29. This plan authorizes the sale of up to $1.25 billion worth of Bitcoin to raise cash, establishes a $2.55 billion USD reserve, increases the dividend rate on its STRG preferred shares to 12%, and authorizes up to $1 billion each for repurchases of its own digital credit securities and Class A common stock. This pivot comes amid severe financial pressure. The company’s STRG preferred shares are trading at a ~24% discount to their $100 face value, making new issuances difficult and stalling its buy-Bitcoin funding flywheel. Its annualized dividend obligation has surged to ~$1.2 billion. Meanwhile, its MSTR stock has plummeted 36% in eight days, erasing its traditional premium over its Bitcoin holdings per share. In recent weeks, Strategic has already shifted focus from accumulating Bitcoin to bolstering cash reserves by selling its own MSTR shares. The new framework formalizes this defensive turn, aiming to ensure liquidity, cover dividends, and support its securities prices through buybacks. However, the move risks triggering a “death spiral” if Bitcoin sales pressure the market, further devaluing the company’s core asset. The company also faces a potential securities investigation and carries significant debt, with Bitcoin’s current price below its average acquisition cost.

Deforming the Transformer, LLMs Become Smarter

A new research paper proposes "Tapered Language Models (TLMs)," a method that improves large language model performance without adding any parameters. It challenges the standard Transformer design where each layer has the same number of parameters ("feed-forward network" width). Building on evidence that layers are not equally important—earlier layers handle foundational information like grammar, while later layers often reinforce existing judgments—the researchers suggest reallocating model capacity from later to earlier layers. The core idea is to make the layer width taper off monotonically from start to end, keeping total parameters and compute constant. Experiments compared linear, cosine, and sigmoid tapering curves on a 440M parameter model. The cosine curve (e.g., starting width 1.5x baseline, ending 0.5x) achieved the best result, reducing perplexity by 1.84 points compared to the uniform baseline—a significant gain at zero cost. This finding proved robust across four different model architectures (including gated attention and memory-augmented models) and at larger scales (760M and 1.3B parameters), consistently improving performance on commonsense reasoning and language modeling tasks without harming long-context retrieval ability. The work highlights a long-overlooked design dimension: optimal parameter allocation across depth. It offers a "free lever" for efficiency, potentially applicable beyond language models to vision Transformers and diffusion models. The study was conducted by researchers from Mila, Cornell University, and the University of Montreal.

From SpaceX to Galaxy Digital: A Detailed Look at 37 New AI Companies and 7 Crypto Dark Horses Added to the Russell Indexes

On June 26th, following its annual reconstitution, the Russell US Indexes finalized their new components, with changes taking effect for market trading on June 29th. The Russell 3000 Index, representing approximately 98% of the investable US equity market, saw significant turnover. A record $334 billion was traded during Nasdaq's closing cross on reconstitution day, highlighting the massive passive fund flows tied to these benchmarks. Companies newly added to the index are set to benefit from mandatory buying by these funds. The reconstitution raised the market cap threshold between the large-cap Russell 1000 and small-cap Russell 2000 by 24% to $5.7 billion. Overall, 224 new companies entered the Russell 3000. Of these, 19 joined the Russell 1000, and 205 joined the Russell 2000, while 118 firms were removed. Notably, among the newcomers, approximately 37 are companies operating in the AI and semiconductor ecosystem, accounting for roughly 17% of new additions. The most prominent is SpaceX, which, following its recent IPO and soaring valuation, was fast-tracked directly into the Russell 1000 and Top 200 indexes. Additionally, about 7 cryptocurrency-related companies were newly included, representing about 3% of new entrants. These include Galaxy Digital, Bitmine, and Tron, among others. The inclusion of several Decentralized Autonomous Trust (DAT) entities signals the model's sustained market presence. For these smaller AI and crypto firms, index inclusion boosts visibility, potentially attracting further institutional investment and supporting their stock performance.
