According to Cointelegraph, Ethereum treasury firm BTCS Inc. has unveiled plans to issue a one-time Ether dividend payment alongside a loyalty payment, amounting to $0.40 per share in ETH. This initiative aims to reward shareholders and curb predatory short-selling practices. The company, which transitioned from Bitcoin mining to Ethereum operations, emphasized that these payments are intended to empower long-term shareholders by reducing the likelihood of their shares being lent to short-sellers. BTCS claims to be the first publicly traded company to offer a dividend in ETH, a move that has been positively received by investors, as evidenced by a 10.4% increase in BTCS shares on the announcement day. The ETH dividend, referred to as the "Bividend," will be distributed on September 26, while the $0.35 per share "Loyalty Payment" will be allocated in ETH to shareholders who retain their shares until January 26, 2026. This loyalty payment excludes officers, directors, and employees, as noted by the company. In a competitive landscape of 69 Ethereum treasury entities vying for substantial ETH holdings, BTCS aims to distinguish itself. Ether treasury firms have significantly contributed to Ether's price surge from approximately $1,465 to $4,775 over the past four months. BTCS is currently ranked 11th in the ETH treasury race, holding 70,000 ETH valued at over $303 million, according to StrategicETHReserve data. Leading the race are Bitmine Immersion Tech and SharpLink Gaming, with holdings of 1.5 million ETH and 728,800 ETH, respectively. BTCS has been actively engaging in decentralized finance activities, such as borrowing on Aave and staking, since at least 2022. However, the firm has intensified its ETH accumulation efforts in recent months, funding purchases through at-the-market equity offerings and issuing convertible notes, similar to strategies employed by its competitors. Following the announcement, BTCS shares rose to $4.87, recovering some of the losses incurred since reaching a 2025 high of $6.57 on July 18, as per Google Finance data. The Nasdaq-listed company now holds a market capitalization of $233 million.

According to BlockBeats, Strategy has relaxed its equity sale financing restrictions, allowing the issuance of common stock when the share price is less than 2.5 times its corresponding Bitcoin holdings. This move aims to provide Strategy with greater flexibility to raise funds for increasing its Bitcoin investments. Some supporters view this decision optimistically, suggesting that the relaxed rules indicate Strategy's long-term bullish stance on Bitcoin. They believe it will enable the company to raise funds at a lower cost, potentially driving Bitcoin prices higher. However, opposing market participants argue that since November 2024, MSTR's Bitcoin premium has decreased from 3.4 times to 1.6 times. They express concerns that lowering financing restrictions could further dilute shareholder equity.

According to PANews, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sold 150,000 shares of the company through eight transactions on August 14-15, cashing out $27.1 million.

These assurances are to be provided by European nations in coordination with the United States. Following the meeting, President Trump communicated with Russian President Vladimir Putin and initiated arrangements for a meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The location for this meeting is yet to be determined. After this meeting, a trilateral discussion involving the presidents of Russia, Ukraine, and Trump will take place. Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, and Special Envoy Witkov are currently coordinating with Russia and Ukraine. Sources indicate that the United States aims to facilitate the meeting between Putin and Zelensky by the end of August. German Chancellor Merz stated that the meeting is expected to occur within two weeks.

According to BlockBeats, investment bank TD Cowen has maintained a bullish target price of $680 for Strategy, predicting that by the end of 2027, Strategy will accumulate 4.3% of Bitcoin's total supply, equivalent to 900,000 coins. The bank forecasts Bitcoin's price to reach $232,000. Currently, MSTR is trading at $363, with Bitcoin priced above $116,000. Today, Strategy announced a relaxation of its equity sale financing restrictions, allowing the issuance of common stock when its share price is less than 2.5 times its corresponding Bitcoin holdings. This move aims to provide Strategy with greater flexibility to raise funds for increasing its Bitcoin holdings. The decision has sparked market debate, with analysts from TD Bank noting that the initial financing restrictions were a defensive strategy to protect the value of reserve assets. However, it has now evolved into an opportunistic strategy aimed at accelerating shareholder value creation.

This funding is intended to support the company's strategic Bitcoin reserve initiatives.

According to Foresight News, sources indicate that the Trump administration is contemplating acquiring approximately 10% of Intel's shares.

Based on Intel's current market valuation, a 10% stake in the chip manufacturer is estimated to be worth around $10.5 billion.
