Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the largest Bitcoin treasury company, predicts Bitcoin will surge past $100,000 within the next year and spark a new bull market. At the time of writing (Oct. 26), Bitcoin traded near $80,000, so it would need to gain about 25% to reach that target. Bitcoin peaked at $126,200 in October 2025 and fell to $57,700 earlier this year. The article notes that Bitcoin has historically followed roughly four-year cycles, and it gained 155.4% in 2023 and 92.2% in 2019, the years following earlier bear market bottoms. Risks cited include the possibility that the bottom has not yet formed, a weaker economy, and rate hikes: the Fed raised rates in September, and markets expect another hike by year-end.

- Michael Saylor's Strategy Boosts STRC Buyback Program To $3B, Keeps BTC Buying Muted
Strategy (MSTR), Michael Saylor's Bitcoin treasury company, expanded its digital credit securities repurchase program to $3 billion from $2 billion, even though its latest Bitcoin purchase was only 267 BTC, bringing total holdings to 848,517 BTC. It repurchased $193 million of its STRC preferred stock. VanEck's Matthew Sigel noted STRC briefly traded at $99.90 before slipping to $97.72 after MSCI finalized rules to remove MSTR from its indexes, with a return to the $100 par value seen as a key level to watch. Elsewhere, Bitmine (BMNR) bought $30.3 million of Ethereum, and Strive (ASST) bought 1,223 BTC, bringing its holdings to 36,818 BTC. Strategy has urged MSCI to withdraw its proposal, and the updated framework is scheduled to take effect with the November index review.

Its board raised the digital credit securities repurchase authorization to $3 billion from $2 billion, leaving $1.16 billion available as of Sunday. The Bitcoin purchases were funded mainly by $22 million from selling 140,872 shares of its common stock, MSTR, while the STRC repurchases used existing cash.

- Morning Minute: Move Over, Saylor, There’s a New Top Buyer in Town
Vivek’s Strive Asset Management (Nasdaq: ASST) bought 3,311 BTC for about $280 million between Oct. 5 and 9, at an average of roughly $84,500, lifting its holdings to 32,773 BTC (about $2.73 billion). Over the same period, Michael Saylor’s Strategy bought 250 BTC for about $21.5 million, so Strive outbought it roughly 13 to 1, and Strategy’s buying has shrunk for two straight weeks while its mNAV fell below 1.0 for the first time. Strategy still holds 848,250 BTC (about $51 billion), more than 25 times Strive’s stack. Strive is selling 5 million shares of new preferred stock at $100 each to raise $500 million, with a fixed 15% dividend and proceeds earmarked for more Bitcoin, which the article says amounts to $75 million a year in payouts.
- Strategy adds 250 Bitcoin as holdings reach 848,250 BTC
Strategy said its Bitcoin holdings reached 848,250 BTC after buying 250 BTC for $21.5 million last week, a second straight weekly decline in purchases. The company funded $21 million through common stock sales and $500,000 from existing cash, and spent $192.4 million repurchasing STRC preferred stock, up from $176.3 million the previous week. It maintains a $4.88 billion US Reserve for preferred dividends and debt interest, plus $640.5 million in USD cash as of Sunday. The purchase followed a Sunday post by Michael Saylor signaling another buy, and Strategy typically reports purchases in SEC filings, which are closed Monday for Columbus Day. Accumulation has slowed, with holdings rising just 0.2% in the third quarter as the company acquired 7,218 BTC while selling 5,553 BTC.
- Bitcoin price eyes $82K as Morgan Stanley strategist says most of correction is over
Bitcoin approached $82,000 on Wednesday, extending its rebound as bid liquidity built up around $79,000 and $80,000, while South Korea's KOSPI rose 6.6%. Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson said most of the tech stock correction is already over, and CME Group's FedWatch showed 90.6% odds that the Fed would keep rates in the 3.75-4% range. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital said Bitcoin's weekly chart resembles the 2022 structure, with resistance near $82,000 still unbroken and the pair yet to discard a $60,000-$80,000 accumulation range.

- Nearly 90% of large businesses are embracing tokenized cash to speed up payments: DBS
A DBS-commissioned EY survey of 422 finance leaders at companies with annual revenue above $500 million across 11 markets found that 88% are using or piloting tokenized money.

Stablecoins are the most used or planned instrument at 63%, ahead of tokenized deposits at 53% and tokenized money market funds at 52%. Respondents expect benefits in real-time cross-border payments (71%) and treasury liquidity management (65%), while regulatory uncertainty, security risks and integration difficulties remain obstacles. DBS launched DBS Token Services in 2024, and in September it completed a weekend dollar payment with Citi between Singapore and New York that settled in minutes.
- VN-Index Reverses Higher as Digiworld Shares Unexpectedly Hit Floor
VN-Index reversed to gain in the afternoon session on Oct. 28, closing around 1,767 points, up 4.78 points (0.27%), led by banks, though liquidity remained below the previous week's average. Digiworld (DGW) shares hit the floor at 42,350 VND despite third-quarter net revenue of 11,022 billion VND (up 49%) and after-tax profit of 276 billion VND (up 66%). At Novaland (NVL), the sister of chairman Bùi Cao Nhật Quân registered to buy 30 million shares (about 312 billion VND) from Nov. 2 to Nov. 13, while CEO Dương Văn Bắc registered to sell over 10.6 million shares. The same day, the National Assembly debated draft amendments to the Securities Law, with Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn stressing the goal of protecting investors' legitimate rights and interests.
- 12 Companies That Launched Bitcoin Treasuries in 2025 Have Sold All Their Bitcoin. Here's the Potential Impact.
A dozen digital asset treasury (DAT) companies that began buying Bitcoin in 2025 have sold all their coins, mostly to repay debt or return cash to investors after their stocks fell, according to Bitwise's October 2026 market report. The DAT model pioneered by Strategy relied on issuing shares or debt to buy more coins while the stock traded above the value of its holdings, and the process reversed once that premium disappeared. Sequans Communications, for example, accumulated more than 3,200 coins from June 2025 and sold its last by Sept. 24 of this year after using the proceeds to eliminate convertible debt. With public companies' average cost at $80,500 per coin in September 2026, many sellers likely took losses after Bitcoin entered a bear market in October 2025. Corporate buyers absorbed a net 18% of new supply in Q3, so the sales had little effect on price, but Strategy, holding 848,517 coins (about 4% of the 21 million supply cap), could have a large impact if it became a major seller.
- GoldMining Commences Pre-Feasibility Study and Begins Infill Drilling with Three Drills at the São Jorge Project, Brazil
GoldMining has begun a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and an initial 6,000-metre infill diamond drilling program at its 100%-owned São Jorge Gold Project in Pará State, Brazil, using three drill rigs. The drilling aims to upgrade inferred resources within the PEA pit shell to indicated classification and to provide fresh core for metallurgical and geotechnical work. The company expects the PFS to be completed in the first half of 2028. The PEA released June 11, 2026 modelled a 5,500 tpd open-pit operation over a 10.6-year mine life, with an after-tax NPV at a 5% discount rate of US$532 million, an after-tax IRR of 42.4% at a US$3,500 per ounce gold price, and average annual output of 51,250 oz. The company notes the PEA is preliminary and includes inferred resources, and there is no certainty it will be realized.

- If You Own A 401(k), You May Already Own A Piece Of Anthropic Before The IPO
Anthropic filed for an IPO on October 26, 2026, and three widely sold funds (Growth Fund of America, Fundamental Investors and Fidelity Select Technology Portfolio) already hold private Anthropic shares, giving some 401(k) savers indirect exposure. Each Anthropic position is 1.5% or less of fund assets, and SEC rules cap illiquid investments at 15% of net assets, so the stake is small compared with holdings such as NVIDIA, which was 19% of Fidelity Select Technology's roughly $37 billion in net assets. Funds value these private shares at estimated fair value, and Fidelity Select's values for its three positions rose between May 31 and August 31 with unchanged share counts. Anthropic's S-1 says redeemable convertible preferred shares will convert into common stock before the offering, and holders of substantially all existing stock agreed not to sell for 180 days after the prospectus date, with some exceptions.
