Strive Chief Investment Officer Ben Werkman stated that if Bitcoin prices remain low for an extended period, it will increase pressure on Bitcoin treasury companies that rely on convertible bond financing. Some companies may be forced to sell BTC to maintain operations or repay debt, potentially triggering mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, and restructuring. Werkman noted that Strive has chosen to finance solely through equity to avoid the pressures of convertible bonds, and has already acquired peer company Semler Scientific as an example of industry consolidation. He pointed out that some companies are proactively reducing debt and adjusting their balance sheets, and expects more mergers, acquisitions, and structural adjustments in the future to cope with sustained market weakness and conservative treatment of Bitcoin asset values by rating agencies.

Broadcom has announced supporting Anthropic's computing project alongside Apollo and Blackstone. The move is seen as an indirect strategy to stimulate demand for chips. While the transaction is ostensibly an AI computing infrastructure financing arrangement, industry insiders believe the deeper goal is to boost long-term demand for Broadcom's custom AI chips by promoting large-scale AI computing deployments. Such AI computing projects involving private equity capital are emerging as a new financing model connecting chip designers, AI model companies, and data center capital. However, they also carry uncertainties regarding demand forecasts and capital returns. (The Information)

SpaceX began trading last Friday, with an opening price of $150 per share. It rose as high as $171 during the session, propelling Elon Musk to become the world's first "trillionaire," driven by his holdings in SpaceX and Tesla.However, managing a trillion-dollar fortune is far from a simple scaled-up version of managing a billion-dollar one. Wealth managers indicate that there are currently almost no traditional wealth advisors with experience managing trillion-dollar assets. Taking on Musk's wealth would require establishing a new kind of family office with a governance structure similar to a large corporation.Experts point out that for a trillion-dollar fortune, the core issue has shifted from "how to grow assets" to "how to maintain control, reduce risk, and achieve long-term governance." At this scale, wealth management must simultaneously consider asset succession, tax planning, market influence, liquidity, public scrutiny, and multi-generational governance.Unlike ordinary billionaires, a trillion-dollar fortune itself can influence market prices. Advisors say that if the holder sells stock, the trading activity could directly impact the market performance of the related companies. This also involves risks related to voting control and corporate governance.Furthermore, a trillion-dollar net worth does not equate to having the same amount of cash on hand. The majority of Musk's wealth comes from corporate equity. Financing through stock pledges exposes him to margin risk, interest rate risk, and concentration risk.Wealth management experts believe that at this scale, a 1% loss in management efficiency equates to approximately a $10 billion loss in value. Therefore, the focus is no longer just the investment portfolio, but on building a complete framework to protect wealth, manage control, and plan for succession. (Fortune)Analysts also point out that the specific risk of Musk's wealth lies in the high degree of linkage between his personal influence and his companies. The future development of SpaceX and Tesla will depend not only on the assets themselves but also on Musk's personal leadership and long-term planning capabilities.

“White-Haired Stock Guru” Serenity posted a summary of the regional market style differences observed on X:1. USA: Bullish on all “futuristic” narratives, such as targets like $SPCX. Less sensitive to valuations, more focused on potential and imagination.2. Europe: From SIVE to SOI, attention to AI infrastructure construction is relatively weak. The time frame leans toward performance over the past 12 months (specifically noting that Belgium has performed decently, while observing France and Sweden).3. South Korea: High-leverage “Degen” style with extremely volatile markets, similar to the intense fluctuation structure of “50x Hyperliquid traders entering the stock market.”4. Japan: Generally mild and supportive, with fewer aggressive short-selling or bearish expressions.Serenity added that data on other regions such as Latin America is still insufficient, but observations will continue in the future.
SpaceX soared on its Nasdaq debut Friday, with its market capitalization surpassing $2 trillion. The listing went more smoothly than many observers had anticipated. Shares began trading late Friday morning and mostly fluctuated between 15% and 30% above Thursday's pricing throughout the session, without significant volatility. The stock closed at approximately $161, up 19%, placing the company as the sixth largest in the United States. The final settlement price is yet to be determined. Trading volume exceeded 500 million shares, with a turnover of around $80 billion. With major listing plans from Anthropic and OpenAI on the horizon, market observers had worried that a flood of new stocks could weigh on market performance following a prolonged IPO drought. However, investors ranging from large institutions to Elon Musk's retail fan base were in high spirits by the end of the day. "SpaceX not only broke records in terms of IPO fundraising size but also left other major companies far behind. When the initial valuation was already close to $2 trillion, adding so much market cap in an instant is impressive," said Dan Coatsworth, Head of Markets at AJ Bell. (Jinshi)

Sharon AI Holdings, a Nasdaq-listed company, announced a six-year strategic computing cooperation agreement with NVIDIA to jointly expand AI infrastructure capabilities in Australia.Under the agreement, the two parties will collaborate to build approximately 72MW of data center computing capacity and deploy infrastructure based on the NVIDIA DSX AI Factory architecture. The plan is to gradually scale up to 40,000 Grace Blackwell GB300 GPUs to meet the computing needs of AI startups, enterprise clients, and research institutions.The cooperation model adopts a structure combining revenue generation with credit support: Sharon AI will be responsible for selling cloud services based on NVIDIA's computing power, while NVIDIA, upon receiving hardware and basic product revenue, will also participate in a share of cloud service revenue, forming a sustainable "usage-driven revenue model."Sharon AI stated that this collaboration will significantly enhance its capital efficiency, enabling it to expand AI infrastructure capabilities without relying on traditional heavy-asset financing and accelerate the deployment of "sovereign AI computing power" in Australia. With this partnership, Sharon AI's total AI factory capacity will increase to 132MW, of which approximately 102MW is already contracted by clients. The company expects to deploy over 55,000 NVIDIA GPUs by mid-2027. (Businesswire)

According to Odaily, the crypto derivatives contract SPCX, linked to a potential SpaceX IPO, has seen a rebound on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, reigniting market expectations for the space company founded by Elon Musk's first day of trading.Data shows that the SPCX contract traded back up to approximately $176 to $183 on Friday, recovering from a dip to around $153 earlier this week. This marks a significant bounce from the roughly $157 level observed when market attention peaked on Wednesday. The contract currently has an open interest of about $216 million, with 24-hour trading volume exceeding $150 million.SPCX does not represent ownership of SpaceX stock, allocation rights, or equity in the company; it is a cash-settled derivative. However, with the SpaceX IPO price set at $135 per share, the market views this contract as a key benchmark for gauging investor expectations of the opening price on the first day of listing.At the current price of around $183, SPCX implies a first-day premium of about 36% for SpaceX. Earlier, in May, the contract surged to $216, corresponding to a roughly 60% premium over the IPO price. When the contract fell to $157 earlier this week, the implied market premium narrowed to about 16%.Meanwhile, other informal market signals also indicate a rebound in investor sentiment. Bloomberg reports that derivatives data from IG International implies a market valuation for SpaceX of approximately $2.4 trillion, which is over 35% higher than the roughly $1.77 trillion valuation implied by the IPO price. Additionally, Polymarket users are currently assigning a 70% probability to SpaceX's market capitalization exceeding $2 trillion at the close of its first trading day.SPCX had previously fallen by about 30% over several weeks, reflecting traders' cautious stance on SpaceX's listing performance. The recent rebound suggests the market is re-pricing the potential for a higher valuation premium from the SpaceX IPO. (CoinDesk)
