YouTube has banned the channel of The Bitcoin Conference, which bills itself as the largest Bitcoin conference in the world.
The conference said today its channel of keynotes and panels was removed, and a YouTube email it shared cites the "harmful and dangerous" policy and says "We won't be putting your channel back up on YouTube." Earlier the same day, YouTube removed and then reinstated Simply Bitcoin's channel. TeamYouTube says it is in touch with the conference on next steps.

The first thing I read on a new Bitcoin treasury company is its debt calendar. A company buying Bitcoin with cash it earned can sit through any drawdown. A company buying with borrowed money has to know exactly when each note comes due and what it will do if Bitcoin is down that month.
So I look for three things before I take one seriously: maturities spread out over years, no margin loans that can force a sale, and a way to pay the interest that doesn't depend on Bitcoin going up. If any of those is missing, I assume one bad month could force the company to sell, and I stay on the sidelines until it fixes that.

Silvia is parting ways with its CFO, COO and Chief Legal Officer at once.
All three leave by Oct 21 by mutual agreement, with $500K severance each. The new interim CFO and new COO both come from Professional Capital Management, a firm tied to Pompliano, and a cost-cutting program is expected to save more than $10M a year from lower compute and personnel costs, vendor renegotiation and cheaper executive hires.

$14.6B in revenue. $4.4B in profit. And the Bitcoin pile appears untouched.
SpaceX carried $1.57B in digital assets at Sep 30. It held 18,712 BTC as of June 30, per its last 10-Q, and the filing shows no sign of buys or sales this year.
EARNINGS: SpaceX ($SPCX) reports $14.6 billion in third-quarter revenue, up 161% year-over-year, driven by growth in its AI and Starlink businesses.
The company also reported $4.4 billion in net income, compared with a $1.1 billion loss a year earlier.

Tokyo was never going to be big enough for Metaplanet.
Super League ($SLE) holders voted yes. At closing it becomes Superplanet ($SUPA): a Nasdaq company about 95.7% owned by Metaplanet, holding 2,100 BTC, with Metaplanet's shares locked up for 5 years.
Metaplanet's own words: "Access to U.S. capital markets." Superplanet is its door into America's, the deepest on Earth.
This is the moment Metaplanet stops being a Japan story.

Bitcoin Fact #15: The first published Bitcoin exchange rate came from a site called New Liberty Standard on October 5, 2009, which priced $1 at 1,309.03 Bitcoin. There was no market yet, so the site worked out the price from the cost of the electricity needed to mine a coin. #BitcoinFactOfTheDay
Bitcoin Fact #14: Bitcoin resets its mining difficulty every 2,016 blocks, but an off-by-one quirk in Satoshi's original code only measures 2,015 of the gaps between those blocks. The quirk has never been fixed, so blocks actually aim for a hair over 10 minutes on average, about 10 minutes and 0.3 seconds. #BitcoinFactOfTheDay

Benter didn't beat the track by guessing winners. He priced every horse better than the crowd and only bet when the odds paid more than the risk.
Options work the same way. Set the max loss before entering, trade the probabilities, and let the edge play out over hundreds of trades instead of one.
In 1986 a guy got kicked out of every casino in Vegas for counting cards. So he flew to Hong Kong with $180,000 and started betting on horses instead.
He walked away with almost $900 million.
It was Bill Benter.
He realized horse racing was just another counting problem same math, more moving parts.
He and a partner built a computer model that estimated the true odds of each horse. If his numbers showed an edge, he bet. If not, he skipped it.
That’s the whole trick:
Expected value.
EV = p · b − (1 − p)
Only bet when the probability of winning × the potential payout is greater than the chance of losing.
What’s even crazier is that Benter once gave a 45-minute lecture explaining the math behind his system.
That recording was never supposed to become public.
And almost nobody knows it exists.
This is the lecture that professional bettors and hedge fund analysts studied.
The answer is in this video.

Strategy has bought back 18.9M shares of STRC since July for $1.84B and hasn't sold a single new one. By the math, about 86M are left, roughly $8.6B, with only $1.16B of buyback room remaining. At today's authorization, the buyback room runs out long before the shares do.
They don't need to buy every share anyway. Strategy can call all of STRC at $101 any time. Once fewer than about 26M shares are left, a clean-up call lets them take out the rest at $100 or more.
What I think actually happens is the buying slows once STRC sits near $100, the 12% rate comes down in small steps and STRC goes back on sale through the ATM. Retired shares go right back on the shelf.
