Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

South African-Based Company Aims to Acquire Bitcoin and Create a Crypto Treasury Reserve! Here Are the Details

South African-Based Company Aims to Acquire Bitcoin and Create a Crypto Treasury Reserve! Here Are the Details

The post South African-Based Company Aims to Acquire Bitcoin and Create a Crypto Treasury Reserve! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. South Africa-based Altvest Capital aims to raise $210 million to buy Bitcoin and create a crypto treasury reserve. The company aims to capitalize on Bitcoin’s nearly doubling in value over the past year. South Africa’s Altvest Plans to Raise $210 Million for Bitcoin Purchase Altvest founder and CEO Warren Wheatley announced that the company will also be renamed Africa Bitcoin Corp. This will make Altvest the first publicly traded company in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset. This strategy is similar to the model that has helped value companies like Michael Saylor’s Strategy and Japan-based Metaplanet. The company, which has a market capitalization of around 52.8 million rand ($3 million), plans to hold Bitcoin as a core reserve asset on its balance sheet, like cash or gold. Smaller companies are similarly raising funds to build their own Bitcoin reserves and attract long-term investors. Wheatley noted that many institutions, such as pension funds and investment trusts, cannot acquire Bitcoin directly, but they can gain indirect Bitcoin exposure through a regulated means through Altvest shares. The company plans to raise funds from both local and international investors and is preparing to list on global exchanges. It also aims to reach a wider investor base across the continent by listing on African exchanges such as Namibia, Botswana, and Kenya. Altvest’s subsidiary, Altvest Bitcoin Strategies Pty Ltd., will offer crypto services through licensed CAEP Asset Managers Pty Ltd. *This is not investment advice.

The USD/CAD pair retraces to near 1.3800 at the start of the week from its weekly high of 1.3855 posted on Friday.

US bond market rallies after weak jobs data, with 10-year yield at lowest since April

US bond market rallies after weak jobs data, with 10-year yield at lowest since April

The 10-year US Treasury yield dropped sharply on Monday, falling over 2 basis points to 4.059%. That move came just days after it hit a major high above 5%, a level not seen since July. Now that might not sound huge, but in bond markets, it’s actually a meaningful dip, especially since the 2-year Treasury […]

Strategy Acquires Another 1,955 BTC for $217M After Missing Out on S&P 500 Inclusion

Strategy Acquires Another 1,955 BTC for $217M After Missing Out on S&P 500 Inclusion

The post Strategy Acquires Another 1,955 BTC for $217M After Missing Out on S&P 500 Inclusion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy (MSTR) announced another 1,955 BTC purchase for $217 million on Monday, bringing the technology company’s total holdings up to 638,460 BTC, according to an SEC filing. The recent buys were made at $111,196, lifting the average purchase price up to $73,880 bet bitcoin. The announcement comes as BTC rose from $110,500 to $112,200 on Monday morning, with prices sliding slightly to $111,800 after the news broke. The move comes as MSTR has recently faced some criticism from its shareholders, notably because of its mNAV promise. The firm said in July that it won’t issue any shares if its mNAV went below 2.5X, only to scrap the promise a month later, saying that it has modified the guidance, allowing potential dilution to its holders. The metric, which is a ratio that shows the stock valuation compared to the value of bitcoin holdings, has been brought down to about 1.5x of late alongside a plunge in MSTR share prices. The stock currently trades at $335, having lost 26% of its value since July. The new purchases also come as Strategy missed out last week on the potential to be added to the S&P 500 index, beaten by Robinhood (HOOD), despite hopes of inclusion after MSTR posted one of the strongest quarters in its history and met all criteria for joining the index.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Bought Additional Bitcoin Irrespective Of The Price

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Bought Additional Bitcoin Irrespective Of The Price

The post Michael Saylor’s Strategy Bought Additional Bitcoin Irrespective Of The Price appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor’s Strategy continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, announcing the purchase of 1,955 BTC for $217.4 million at an average Bitcoin price of $111,196 per coin. The latest acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 638,460 BTC, maintaining its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally. The purchase comes amid a period of market stability, with Bitcoin trading between $110,500 and $112,200, and follows Strategy’s recent exclusion from the S&P 500 index in favour of Robinhood (HOOD). Despite this setback and recent shareholder criticism, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor remains committed to the company’s Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy. The firm’s average purchase price now stands at $73,880 per Bitcoin, representing a significant paper profit on its holdings given current market prices. The company’s aggressive accumulation comes amid a broader trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption, with over 200 public companies now holding Bitcoin in their treasuries. Recent entrants include American Bitcoin, which debuted on the Nasdaq last week, and Metaplanet, which increased its holdings to 20,136 BTC through a $15.2 million purchase. However, Strategy’s recent moves have faced scrutiny from shareholders following changes to its modified Net Asset Value (mNAV) policy. The company previously committed to not issuing shares if its mNAV fell below 2.5X but recently modified this guidance, potentially allowing for greater shareholder dilution. The surge in Bitcoin treasury companies has become a defining trend of 2025, with collective corporate holdings now exceeding 1 million BTC, or roughly 5% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. We’re witnessing an unprecedented shift in corporate treasury management. Companies are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a strategic asset class, leading to a competitive race for accumulation among public companies. Strategy’s latest purchase was funded through its ongoing at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program, which has proven successful in raising capital for Bitcoin acquisitions. The company’s…
