Hyperscale Data announced that as of December 7, 2025, its Bitcoin reserves (including current holdings and cash allocated for Bitcoin purchases) totaled approximately $75 million. This amount represents approximately 83% of the company's market capitalization. As of December 7, 2025, its wholly owned subsidiary, Sentinum, Inc., held approximately 451.85 Bitcoins. Of these, 64.37 were acquired through mining operations, and 387.47 were purchased on the open market (including 25 Bitcoins purchased in the week ending December 7). Based on Bitcoin's closing price of $90,405 on December 7, these holdings have a market value of approximately $41 million. Furthermore, Hyperscale Data has allocated $34 million in cash to Sentinum for Bitcoin purchases on the open market. The company plans to continue deploying funds through a disciplined average cost strategy and remains committed to its long-term goal of a $100 million digital asset reserve strategy.

Bitcoin hovered around $90,000, with the crypto market entering a low-confidence positioning mode ahead of the Federal Reserve's final policy decision of the year. Analysts at Nansen and BRN both stated that the rate cut had already been priced in by the market, and Chairman Jerome Powell's forward guidance tomorrow was more important than the rate cut itself. According to The Block's price page, BTC has recently been trading in a narrow range between $88,000 and $93,000. ETH remained around $3,100, BNB fell to $886, and Solana traded around $132. Affected by continued uncertainty, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies slipped to approximately $3.1 trillion. ETF flows indicate that funds are rotating rather than completely capitulating. Data compiled by The Block shows that Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $60 million on Monday, while ETH, SOL, and XRP products saw net inflows of $35 million, $1 million, and $38 million, respectively. Timothy Misir, Head of Research at BRN, stated that this indicates selective allocation rather than widespread risk aversion. The Federal Reserve's expectations are driving a clear divergence in digital assets, with altcoins still lagging behind Bitcoin. QCP Capital notes that the sharp volatility over the weekend reflects thinning liquidity as the year draws to a close. Despite the volatility, liquidation volumes are below typical levels seen earlier this year.

According to Cointelegraph, blockchain network Polygon has implemented its latest protocol upgrade, the Madhugiri hard fork, designed to boost network throughput by 33% and reduce block consensus time to one second. Polygon core developer Krishang Shah announced on X that the update incorporates three Fusaka Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs): EIP-7823, EIP-7825, and EIP-7883. These proposals aim to enhance the efficiency and security of mathematical operations by limiting gas consumption, preventing single transactions from monopolizing computing resources, and ensuring smoother network operations. The upgrade also introduces a new transaction type for Ethereum to Polygon bridge traffic and includes a built-in flexibility feature for future enhancements. Polygon has previously stated that increasing throughput is now as simple as "flipping a few switches." Shah noted that the consensus time has been reduced to one second, allowing blocks to be announced more swiftly if ready, rather than waiting the full two seconds. With the Madhugiri upgrade now active, Polygon seeks to strengthen its infrastructure and significantly enhance its performance, which is essential for high-frequency and high-trust applications like real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and stablecoins. Aishwary Gupta, Polygon Labs' global head of payments and RWAs, has predicted a "stablecoin supercycle," anticipating a surge of at least 100,000 stablecoins over the next five years. Gupta emphasized the importance of utility yield and advocated for increased transparency and accountability in the RWA sector, arguing that RWA figures are meaningless without the ability to audit, settle, or trade the assets. The Madhugiri hard fork follows the major Heimdall 2.0 upgrade, which was deployed on July 10 and described by Polygon Foundation CEO Sandeep Nailwal as the network's most technically complex hard fork since its inception. This update reduced transaction finality times from one to two minutes to approximately five seconds. However, on September 10, the network faced a significant disruption due to a bug that caused finality delays of 10 to 15 minutes, impacting validator synchronization, remote procedure call services, and third-party tools. Despite this, the team reassured the community that blocks continued to run. On September 11, the Polygon Foundation announced that consensus and finality functions had been restored through a hard fork, resolving the issues with node synchronization and finalizing checkpoints and milestones as expected.
