The bitcoin miner sold about 40 percent of its holdings after the third quarter at an average of $81,039 a coin, used most of the cash to clear $750 million in bitcoin-backed loans, and told shareholders it will keep selling. Chairman Fred Thiel said it is not a pivot away from bitcoin.
Dollar-cost averaging means buying a fixed amount of Bitcoin on a set schedule, whatever the price. It eases the stress of timing the market. On pure returns, though, research keeps finding that buying all at once usually wins.
Securitize said it will buy River One, a New York warehouse-financing firm, moving its tokenization business into private asset-backed lending. The deal landed with third-quarter results showing revenue up 13 percent and a net loss of $66.3 million.
XRP is not a stablecoin. Its price floats with the market, while RLUSD, the dollar-pegged token Ripple launched in December 2024, is built to hold one dollar. This guide shows what separates the two tokens and why the same company issues both.
Strategy spent $188.3 million buying back its STRC preferred shares last week and $81.9 million on bitcoin, a 9 November filing showed. Its bitcoin treasury now holds 850,364 coins, bought at an average price just above where the market trades.
Bitcoin dropped to $73,477 late on Sunday, its lowest level since August, before recovering above $74,000. More than $1 billion in leveraged crypto bets were wiped out in a day, most of them longs, as a stock-market scare over Nvidia spread to digital assets.
A smart contract audit is a paid code review meant to catch bugs before a crypto project goes live. It lowers the odds of a hack, but the record shows audited projects still get drained. Here is what auditors really check, and the risks no audit can remove.

MARA says selling 13,597 bitcoin is balance-sheet management, not a pivot away from bitcoin.
Our read: The company did use most of the $1.1 billion to repay bitcoin-backed loans and free 17,477 pledged coins, which supports the balance-sheet framing. But it sold about 40 percent of its holdings in six weeks, says it will keep selling, and has not disclosed how many coins remain or set a floor.
Securitize says buying River One moves it into the roughly $6 trillion private asset-backed finance market and opens a new institutional revenue line.
Our read: The acquisition agreement and Securitize's record $5 billion in average tokenized assets are real, but terms were not disclosed, the deal has not closed, River One is a young firm still building its funding relationships, and the $6 trillion is the total market size rather than revenue won.
Strategy frames buying back its STRC preferred stock below par as disciplined capital management that strengthens its balance sheet while it keeps adding bitcoin.
Our read: The filings confirm the figures: $188.3 million of STRC retired and 1,036 bitcoin bought. What they do not settle is whether selling common stock to fund the buybacks, rather than buying more bitcoin, serves shareholders. Analysts are split, and the trade-off is untested over a full cycle.
Some analysts, including Galaxy's Alex Thorn, argue the sell-off is late-stage and the market low is already in.
Our read: Thorn's case rests on a technical level and sentiment, not confirmed buying. Against it, spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $1.28 billion last week, 2026 net flows turned negative, and Bitcoin just closed below its 50-week average for the first time in eight weeks.

Bitcoin's digital signatures could one day be cracked by a powerful quantum computer. None exists yet, and the machines that do are thousands of times too small. Here is what is actually at risk, how far the hardware really is, and the fixes already being written.
These companies exist to own bitcoin. They raise cash from shareholders and lenders, buy coins, and report how many they hold per share. Strategy started the model and holds the most by far. It prints value when the share price runs ahead of the bitcoin, and bleeds when it does not.
Searches for a Bitcoin wipeout spike whenever the price drops. A fall to exactly zero would need a worldwide failure that has not happened since 2009, yet Bitcoin has still lost most of its value more than once. This guide separates a crash from a true zero.

A draft proposal would strip durable nonces out of Solana, a feature that lets a signed transaction sit unspent for weeks. Attackers used it to drain at least $270 million from the Drift trading platform in April. Custodians that sign offline would have to rebuild how they move funds.
A blockchain oracle feeds outside prices to smart contracts, and that number is often the real target. How price feeds work, why attackers manipulate them, and what the Mango Markets, KiloEx and Ostium cases show.
Zcash turned on its NU7 upgrade at block 3,543,405, cutting block times to 25 seconds and starting a fee reserve meant to pay for security after 2031. One old privacy pool holding about 12,224 ZEC is now frozen.

MSCI will publish on November 11 the companies it is cutting from its global indexes under new rules for non-operating firms. Strategy, the largest corporate bitcoin holder, is among those at risk, and JPMorgan put the possible forced selling near $2.8 billion.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $1.28 billion in the week to November 6, 2026, almost all of it from BlackRock's IBIT. The headline looks like a wall of institutional selling. The detail is narrower, and it tracked a falling price more than it drove one.
