Resumo

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."

Stocks Are Plummeting More Sharply Than Cryptocurrencies. Where Has the Money Gone?

Stock Markets Plunge Deeper Than Cryptocurrencies: Where Did the Money Go? In late July, Seoul's Kospi index triggered circuit breakers for two consecutive days, plummeting over 40% from its June high. The collapse was led by heavyweight stocks like SK Hynix, whose record profits still disappointed investors, and devastating leveraged ETFs, with one major product losing over 83% of its value. This signaled a global, forced deleveraging targeting the most crowded trades. Interestingly, while stocks exhibited extreme volatility akin to crypto markets, Bitcoin rose nearly 15% in July after a prior steep drop. Analysis shows the money fleeing equities did not flow into Bitcoin. Instead, Bitcoin had already absorbed its sell-off in May-June, when U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw historic outflows. The true safe-haven beneficiary was gold, whose price rose over 20% year-on-year, highlighting a decoupling between Bitcoin and gold as "digital gold." The sell-off was a targeted unwinding of leveraged positions in tech and semiconductors, accelerated by broker-dealer risk management and shifts in the AI narrative, including new competition from Chinese memory chipmakers. The retreat path was clear: from high-valuation tech stocks to cash and U.S. Treasuries, then to gold. For Bitcoin to attract sustained institutional inflows, conditions like eased global liquidity pressure, a "soft-landing" Fed rate cut, and U.S. regulatory clarity via legislation like the stalled CLARITY Act are needed. Currently, Bitcoin is not a safe haven but an already-cleared asset. Its low correlation with tech stocks, however, makes it a potential diversification play for institutional portfolios once the storm passes. The money isn't here yet, but the positioning is underway.

In Conversation with Ray Dalio: We Are Currently in an AI Bubble, with 1% of My Portfolio in Bitcoin

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns in an interview that the current AI boom shows classic bubble characteristics, which could lead to significant economic downturns as seen in past cycles like 1929 or 2000. He explains that speculative enthusiasm, fueled by debt and overvaluation, often precedes a crash when rising rates or taxation force asset sales, causing widespread losses and recession. Dalio also outlines his "Big Cycle" theory, describing an approximate 80-year pattern where widening wealth gaps, massive government deficits, and shifting geopolitical power (like China's rise) create internal conflict and global instability. He emphasizes that we are in a late-cycle, transitional phase where traditional powers like the US and UK face decline. For personal wealth protection, Dalio advises diversification beyond cash into assets like stocks, bonds, real estate, and particularly gold, which he prefers over Bitcoin. While he holds about 1% of his portfolio in Bitcoin as a non-printable hard asset, he views gold as more secure from technological or governmental threats. Regarding AI's impact, Dalio believes it will disproportionately benefit capital owners, worsening inequality by replacing both physical and cognitive labor. He suggests that human intuition and emotional intelligence, combined with AI, will be key for future workers. On taxation, Dalio argues that wealth taxes are impractical and risk triggering asset sell-offs, reducing productive investment. He points to the UK as a cautionary example of debt, low productivity, and political strife. Geopolitically, Dalio foresees a more regionalized world, with the US showing weakness in prolonged conflicts like with Iran, akin to past imperial declines. The ideal outcome, he suggests, is coexisting powerful blocs (e.g., Americas, China-Asia Pacific) without major war.

Daily 7.2 Trillion KRW: Foreign Capital's Record Net Buying on Friday! Wall Street Says Headwinds for Korean Stock Fund Flows Have Subsided

South Korean stock market sees a dramatic shift in fund flows. On July 31, foreign investors made a record net purchase of approximately KRW 7.2 trillion in KOSPI stocks, marking a fundamental reversal from the persistent large-scale net outflows seen in previous months. This contributed to a significant narrowing of foreign net selling in July to KRW 9.8 trillion, down sharply from KRW 48.4 trillion in June and KRW 44.5 trillion in May. Simultaneously, domestic institutional pressure eased. South Korean pension funds and asset managers turned to a net buying position in July, purchasing KRW 1.0 trillion worth of KOSPI shares, contrasting with net sales in May and June. Market volatility is expected to be dampened by new financial regulations. Effective July 31, the Financial Services Commission tightened access for retail investors to single-stock leveraged ETFs by raising the minimum cash deposit requirement. Trading volumes for these products subsequently dropped to about 50% of their monthly average. Citigroup Research maintains its year-end KOSPI target of 10,000 points. The firm cites several supportive factors: the substantial easing of headwinds from capital outflows, a robust fundamental outlook for the semiconductor sector, historically low market valuations, strong economic fundamentals, and the potential for policy support from financial authorities if needed.
