Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

USDT becomes the currency of the people

USDT becomes the currency of the people

The post USDT becomes the currency of the people appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Receipts, rent, and even condominium expenses are increasingly being settled in USDT: Tether’s stablecoin has quickly become the price benchmark in an economy marked by high inflation (estimated around 229% annually, IMF) and strict capital controls. In this context, the bolívar is retreating in daily transactions, while the “digital dollar” is emerging as a practical tool for payment and store of value. According to the data collected by our editorial team during reports in Caracas and other urban centers between 2023 and 2024, merchants, condominium administrators, and families describe an increasing daily use of USDT to pay for services and small supplies. Industry analysts observe that the combination of foreign currency remittances, high banking costs, and infrastructural issues has accelerated the adoption of stablecoins as an operational tool. What is changing now: from the neighborhood store to the condominium bulletin board In large cities as well as in inland areas, price lists in dollars and QR codes for payments in stablecoin are multiplying. The dynamic rests on the need to protect purchasing power and reduce friction in payments within a banking system that is often slow and costly. The result is a “hybrid” dollarization where cash and USDT coexist — with the latter increasingly taking on the role of a unit of account. Three Prices for the Same Dollar Official rate (BCV): formal reference published by the central bank (BCV), used for contracts and administrative procedures. Parallel market: reflects demand and supply on cash and incorporates the risk and liquidity spread. P2P Price of Stablecoins: the practical value at which USDT circulates on peer-to-peer platforms and networks, often the most liquid for merchants and consumers. Why the bolívar is retreating Protection from value erosion: with inflation in double or triple digits, savings in local currency quickly dwindle. Rapid transfers: instant…

South African-Based Company Aims to Acquire Bitcoin and Create a Crypto Treasury Reserve! Here Are the Details

South African-Based Company Aims to Acquire Bitcoin and Create a Crypto Treasury Reserve! Here Are the Details

The post South African-Based Company Aims to Acquire Bitcoin and Create a Crypto Treasury Reserve! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. South Africa-based Altvest Capital aims to raise $210 million to buy Bitcoin and create a crypto treasury reserve. The company aims to capitalize on Bitcoin’s nearly doubling in value over the past year. South Africa’s Altvest Plans to Raise $210 Million for Bitcoin Purchase Altvest founder and CEO Warren Wheatley announced that the company will also be renamed Africa Bitcoin Corp. This will make Altvest the first publicly traded company in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset. This strategy is similar to the model that has helped value companies like Michael Saylor’s Strategy and Japan-based Metaplanet. The company, which has a market capitalization of around 52.8 million rand ($3 million), plans to hold Bitcoin as a core reserve asset on its balance sheet, like cash or gold. Smaller companies are similarly raising funds to build their own Bitcoin reserves and attract long-term investors. Wheatley noted that many institutions, such as pension funds and investment trusts, cannot acquire Bitcoin directly, but they can gain indirect Bitcoin exposure through a regulated means through Altvest shares. The company plans to raise funds from both local and international investors and is preparing to list on global exchanges. It also aims to reach a wider investor base across the continent by listing on African exchanges such as Namibia, Botswana, and Kenya. Altvest’s subsidiary, Altvest Bitcoin Strategies Pty Ltd., will offer crypto services through licensed CAEP Asset Managers Pty Ltd. *This is not investment advice.

It recently announced a new acquisition, citing that it purchased an additional 1,955 BTC. The firm was faced with a setback from its rejection from the S&P 500, but its latest purchase suggests that it is unmoved by the turn of events. Another Bitcoin Acquisition in the Bag Strategy, or MicroStrategy as it was formerly known, has expanded its Bitcoin holdings with a new $271 million purchase. Each BTC was bought at an average price of $111,196. The price of Bitcoin is currently $111,959.15, with a 0.74% increase within the last 24 hours.

Strategy and Metaplanet scoop up 66% of newly mined Bitcoins

Strategy and Metaplanet scoop up 66% of newly mined Bitcoins

The post Strategy and Metaplanet scoop up 66% of newly mined Bitcoins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s supply–demand balance narrowed further last week as corporate treasuries captured a dominant share of new issuance. Last week, two publicly traded firms, Strategy and Tokyo-listed Metaplanet, purchased more than $230 million worth of BTC. According to their separate announcements, their combined acquisitions, totaling 2,091 BTC, represented about two-thirds, or 66%, of all coins produced by miners during the reporting period. Strategy expands holdings despite S&P 500 snub On Sept. 8, Strategy confirmed it had purchased 1,955 BTC for $217.4 million, translating into about 62% of all coins mined during the week. Following this purchase, Strategy’s Bitcoin stash has climbed to 638,460 BTC, which is valued at $71.6 billion at current market prices. This equates to an unrealized profit of roughly 51.8% from the firm’s total investment of $47.17 billion. The company disclosed in its Form 8-K filing that the latest purchase was funded through proceeds from its at-the-market equity program, which raised capital across Strife, Strike, and MSTR stock issuances. In 2025, Strategy has raised more than $19 billion for Bitcoin purchases. Strategy Bitcoin Fundraise (Source: Strategy) Meanwhile, famed short seller Jim Chanos pointed out that the firm’s Bitcoin fundraising is increasingly relying on its MSTR stock issuance rather than the preferred stock options to fund recent Bitcoin purchases.

For context, he noted that the firm raised 92% of its latest capital through common equity while selling just $16.8 million in preferred stock. The same trend was observed last week when the firm raised 90% of its Bitcoin purchase fund through MSTR. Notably, the latest Bitcoin purchase comes days after Strategy failed to secure a place in the S&P…

US bond market rallies after weak jobs data, with 10-year yield at lowest since April

US bond market rallies after weak jobs data, with 10-year yield at lowest since April

The 10-year US Treasury yield dropped sharply on Monday, falling over 2 basis points to 4.059%. That move came just days after it hit a major high above 5%, a level not seen since July. Now that might not sound huge, but in bond markets, it’s actually a meaningful dip, especially since the 2-year Treasury […]

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Bought Additional Bitcoin Irrespective Of The Price

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Bought Additional Bitcoin Irrespective Of The Price

The post Michael Saylor’s Strategy Bought Additional Bitcoin Irrespective Of The Price appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor’s Strategy continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, announcing the purchase of 1,955 BTC for $217.4 million at an average Bitcoin price of $111,196 per coin. The latest acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 638,460 BTC, maintaining its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally. The purchase comes amid a period of market stability, with Bitcoin trading between $110,500 and $112,200, and follows Strategy’s recent exclusion from the S&P 500 index in favour of Robinhood (HOOD). Despite this setback and recent shareholder criticism, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor remains committed to the company’s Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy. The firm’s average purchase price now stands at $73,880 per Bitcoin, representing a significant paper profit on its holdings given current market prices. The company’s aggressive accumulation comes amid a broader trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption, with over 200 public companies now holding Bitcoin in their treasuries. Recent entrants include American Bitcoin, which debuted on the Nasdaq last week, and Metaplanet, which increased its holdings to 20,136 BTC through a $15.2 million purchase. However, Strategy’s recent moves have faced scrutiny from shareholders following changes to its modified Net Asset Value (mNAV) policy. The company previously committed to not issuing shares if its mNAV fell below 2.5X but recently modified this guidance, potentially allowing for greater shareholder dilution. The surge in Bitcoin treasury companies has become a defining trend of 2025, with collective corporate holdings now exceeding 1 million BTC, or roughly 5% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. We’re witnessing an unprecedented shift in corporate treasury management. Companies are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a strategic asset class, leading to a competitive race for accumulation among public companies. Strategy’s latest purchase was funded through its ongoing at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program, which has proven successful in raising capital for Bitcoin acquisitions. The company’s…
