The post Michael Saylor Drops Strategy Risk Calculator: How Many Years Can Firm Last Without Bitcoin Rally? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, has launched an interactive credit model that allows investors to calculate the resilience of its debt obligations in real time. The release came just two days after the company officially confirmed the sale of 3,588 BTC worth $216 million to secure dollar liquidity and payments on preferred shares. The publication of the simulator seems to be Michael Saylor’s direct response to renewed Wall Street discussions about the risks of his business model, designed to show analysts exactly how many years the company can hold out without a Bitcoin rally. Digital Credit is transparent because the principal market risk factor is Bitcoin, an observable, homogeneous asset. Analysts can assess BTC-related credit risk continuously, and investors can apply their own statistical models to inform valuation and trading decisions
The post New Hampshire Council Rejects $100 Million Bitcoin-Backed Bond appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The New Hampshire Executive Council rejected a plan on Wednesday to authorize a $100 million bond backed by Bitcoin, killing a proposal that state officials had cast as a first-in-the-nation bid to draw digital finance to the Granite State. The New Hampshire councilors voted 3-2 against it, according to reporting from The Boston Globe. The New Hampshire Business Finance Authority and Governor Kelly Ayotte had promoted the bond as “groundbreaking” and “historic.” The deal would have stood as the world’s first Bitcoin-backed municipal bond. The plan had cleared Moody’s ratings and reached the Executive Council for its final vote before issuance. The council did not share that enthusiasm. Karen Liot Hill, the lone Democrat, framed her opposition as caution rather than hostility. “I’m not opposed to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general,” she told The Boston Globe. “But I do think t

The post Over $7.2 Billion Migrates From LayerZero To Chainlink CCIP As Mantle Joins The Exodus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The multi-billion-dollar renovation of crypto’s cross-chain plumbing just picked up speed. More than $7.2 billion in total value has now migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), a wave that now includes Mantle, the Ethereum layer-2 network, as its most recent participant. The flows were detailed in the original report on the migration event. The movement isn’t a one-off. Projects Kelp and Lombard each brought over $1 billion when they made the switch earlier. Solv Protocol, Virtuals, Re, and tokenized assets from Kraken have also shifted their cross-chain messaging to CCIP. The sheer scale turns a series of protocol decisions into something that looks like a structural preference pivot—not just a change of vendor, but a bet on which interoperability standard will anchor the next phase of on-chain finance.
