- Ms. Cao Thi Ngoc Dung: 'I had no choice but to sell PNJ shares'
At an extraordinary shareholder meeting on October 21, PNJ Chairwoman Cao Thi Ngoc Dung said her family sold shares only to fund the company after the July crisis linked to a former P-Lab director. Customer buybacks surged, with July buybacks reaching nearly VND6,000 billion, equal to all of 2025, and depleting cash buffers. Revenue fell 14% and third-quarter operations lost VND258 billion (before provisions), while PNJ needs VND100–150 billion monthly to run operations; her family has lent over VND700 billion. Banks have tightened credit and new loans carry high rates, and a share issue to existing shareholders is ineligible because operating results this year are expected to show heavy losses. Dung apologized to shareholders and pledged to stay with the company.

- Bitcoin Treasury Datavault AI Says It Can’t Access Its BTC, Stock Tanks
Datavault AI shares fell 49.55% to $0.067 after an SEC filing said the company has been unable since June to complete a request to withdraw Bitcoin from the Biconomy exchange. The company will restate four financial reports, cutting reported assets by up to $92.2 million, after reclassifying Bitcoin from a $150 million Scilex stock deal as a subscription receivable. Management is reassessing its going-concern status because it had counted the Bitcoin as a source of liquidity, and collecting what Scilex owes is uncertain. Scilex separately signed a binding term sheet in June 2026 to buy 837 BTC held in Datavault's Biconomy wallet for $50 million, subject to a definitive agreement. Datavault stock later bounced to near $0.085.

- AI Spending Is Nearing $1 Trillion Annually. These 2 Stocks Are Most at Risk If It Slows.
AI capital expenditures are approaching $1 trillion a year, driving record results at Nvidia and Micron but raising investor doubts about how sustainable the spending is. Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in revenue for its fiscal 2027 second quarter, with $89 billion from its data center business, so its growth is closely tied to the AI infrastructure budgets of the biggest tech companies. Micron benefits from strong high bandwidth memory demand, reporting fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter revenue of $54.2 billion and $133.2 billion for the full year, but memory is cyclical and an oversupply could push prices down. The article concludes that both companies could be reassessed if AI spending slows, with Nvidia having more to lose.

- Canadian ‘crypto king’ case to go to jury as criminal trial winds down
Aiden Pleterski, a self-described “crypto king” in Canada, faces fraud charges over his alleged role in a digital asset Ponzi scheme, and the case will go to jury deliberations after closing arguments. Pleterski told the court he is innocent, saying he was forced to represent himself and that his innocence would otherwise have been proven. According to CBC, the jury will begin deliberating Thursday after receiving final instructions from Justice Shaun Nakatsuru. He is accused of defrauding about $30 million from social media followers between 2021 and 2022, was charged in 2024, and had waited more than two years for trial; a fraud conviction could bring up to 14 years in prison. Separately, five men, some reportedly victims of the scheme, were charged with kidnapping and torturing him in 2022, and one of them, Deren Akyeam-Pong, pleaded guilty to nine charges and awaits sentencing.
- Microsoft recorded $10 billion in revenue from OpenAI
Microsoft reported $10 billion in revenue from its commercial arrangements with OpenAI, including revenue-sharing payments, in the quarter ended September 30, nearly 11% of its $92.3 billion total quarterly revenue. For the full 2026 fiscal year, OpenAI-related revenue reached $24.1 billion, and at the latest quarterly pace Microsoft would earn about $40 billion a year from these arrangements. Its receivables from OpenAI rose to $7.2 billion at the end of September from $6 billion at the end of June, reflecting amounts owed for past transactions rather than new revenue. The filing does not show how much came from revenue sharing versus Azure cloud services. Under an April 2026 agreement, OpenAI will keep sharing revenue with Microsoft through 2030, subject to a cap, while Microsoft's stake fell from about 25% in June to 24% in September, with no cause specified.
