In a recent Bloomberg interview, Nakamoto (NAKA) CEO David Bailey explained that bitcoin (BTC) treasury companies are becoming ripe for takeover. He specifically mentioned treasury companies pursuing M&A deals, “acquiring competitors and restructuring some of those businesses.” However, despite his intention to deflect attention onto other stocks, Nakamoto itself appears to be a prime candidate for a hostile takeover . A hostile takeover could occur if anyone accumulates a controlling amount of voting rights in the company against the wishes of management. This type of takeover contrasts with board-approved changes of control like mergers, buyouts, or business combinations. Already 98% below its all-time high over the last five months and with a market capitalization at least 85% lower than the value of its BTC holdings, investors’ confidence in Bailey as a public company CEO is at an all-time low. Today’s penny stock price has fallen far from NAKA’s high ...

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has a supply of nearly 589 trillion coins. The massive supply presents a substantial barrier to the asset’s price. One of the most significant catalysts for SHIB’s incredible 2021 rally was Vitalik Buterin’s token burn. Buterin received half of SHIB’s entire supply upon launch. However, the Ethereum co-founder burned 90% of the coins he received. The sudden supply dip led to a massive price rally for SHIB. Let’s discuss how high Shiba Inu (SHIB) can go if we burn half the current supply. What’s Shiba Inu’s Price If We Burn 50% Of The Supply Source: Watcher Guru If 50% of SHIB’s supply is destroyed, the project will have 294.5 trillion tokens remaining in circulation. Let’s assume that the project’s market cap remains the same, at $6.14 billion. In such a scenario, the price of each SHIB token will hit $0.00002085. Although the growth would be commendable, it is still way lower than Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) all-...

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says that people who still refer to him as the CEO of XRP or believe that Ripple is still in control of the asset need to be educated. Garlinghouse made the comment at the DC Fintech conference this week when asked about the difference between Ripple’s control of XRP and its control of securities. “ We need to educate these people ,” he said after claiming that he still hears people refer to him as the CEO of XRP, and as Ripple as the company in control of XRP. That situation is potentially confusing given that the company paid a court settlement and Garlinghouse agreed to never dispute the US District Court for the Southern District of New York’s ruling that Ripple sold XRP in securities offerings. “Ripple’s Institutional Sales of XRP constituted the unregistered offer and sale of investment contracts in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act,” judge Analisa Torres wrote in a ruling that remains final after a brief appeal to the Seco...

A coffee shop in Washington, D.C. has become the first merchant globally to accept Bitcoin via Square’s point-of-sale terminal. Compass Coffee, which has 27 locations, invited lawmakers and fintech leaders to see the technology in action, and hosted a demonstration during the DC Fintech Week.

Amazon is preparing to cut up to 15% of its human resources staff right now as part of a major AI-driven restructuring that’s hitting multiple departments. The company’s People eXperience and Technology team will experience the deepest reductions, though job losses will spread across other consumer business units too. Amazon hasn’t disclosed the total number of positions the company plans to eliminate yet, and the exact timing remains unclear at the time of writing. These cuts follow smaller rounds of job losses earlier this year in the consumer devices group, the Wondery podcast division, and also Amazon Web Services. But this wave differs—it represents a fundamental shift in how Amazon manages its workforce as the company goes all-in on artificial intelligence and automation. AI Spending And Job Cuts Go Hand In Hand Source: People Matters Amazon is pouring over $100 billion this year into capital expenditures, with a huge portion of that money going toward building a...
